Issue 1
Consider the following scenario:
-
You use Microsoft Test Runner in Microsoft Test Manager to run a manual test.
-
You create a bug or run a test.
In this scenario, Test Runner may crash, and then you may receive the following error message:
Test Runner is waiting for the application under test
Issue 2
Consider the following scenario:
-
You run some unit tests on a test agent in Test Manager.
-
You edit the Local.testsettings file for the unit tests.
-
You use a custom batch file in a startup script.
-
The batch file starts a web service before a unit test is performed.
In this scenario, the unit test does not start as expected after the web services runs.

In some cases, Test Manager crashes, a System.StackOverflowException exception occurs, and a Clr20r3 Dr. Watson error is generated. The Blamed Symbol field of the Dr. Watson error contains a value resembling the following:
