    <p>Either I didn't understand your question or maybe you answered it yourself :-). Let me explain:</p> <p>Both Unit Tests and Coded UI Tests (in fact, most MSTest-based tests) leverage the same [DataSource] infrastructure. That way, tests can be parameterized without the need of embedding the parameter data in the test itself.</p> <p>VS 2005 and VS 2008 basically offered databases (text, XML or relational ones) as valid test data sources. VS 2010 (and Microsoft Test Manager) introduced a new kind of data source: a "Test Case Data Source", which is automatically inserted in a Coded UI test generated from a test case recording.</p> <p>But nothing prevents you from doing the same to your own unit tests. I think the workflow below could work for you:</p> <ol> <li>Create a test case in MTM;</li> <li>Add your parameters and data rows;</li> <li>Save your test case. Take note of the work item ID (you're gonna need it);</li> <li><p>Create your unit test and add the following attribute to the method header:</p> <pre><code>[DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.TestCase", "http://my-tfs-server:8080/tfs/my-collection;My-Team-Project", "WI#", DataAccessMethod.Sequential), TestMethod] </code></pre></li> <li><p>In the attribute above, replace <strong>WI#</strong> with the work item id from #3;</p></li> <li>(Optional) In Visual Studio, go to the Test menu and click Windows | Test View. Select the unit test you just created, right-click it and "Associate Test to Test Case". Point to the same test case work item created in #3 and now you turned your manual test case in a automated test case. NOTE: When you automate a test you can no longer run it manually from MTM. You need Lab Management (and an environment configured as being able to run automated tests) in order to schedule and run an automated test case. </li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
