Introduction

An available update for Microsoft Test Manager 2010 resolves the following issues.

Issue 1

Consider the following scenario:

  • You use Test Manager 2010 to rename a parameter for a shared step.
  • You click Save and Close to save the changes.
  • You open a test case that uses the shared step.

In this scenario, the original name of the parameter unexpectedly appears in the test case.
