How to: Remove a Test Case from a Test Suite

Occasionally, you no longer require a particular test case in your test suite. You can remove a test case from a test suite in your test plan by using Microsoft Test Manager, as shown in the following illustration. The test case is still available in the team project to be added to other test suites and different test plans. All test results for that test case will no longer be associated with the test plan.

Note

If you remove a test case from a test suite that is based on a requirement or a user story, this also removes the link between the test case and the requirement or user story. This might impact test coverage for the user story.
