In dev10, test settings in MTM does not expose all the configuration options which are present in Visual Studio. These configuration options include bucket size, deployment timeout among few others.

I have created a small utility named UpdateTestSettings which you can use to update these parameters. To start with, it provides options to update/view the bucket size, update/view the deployment timeout and going forward I will add more options to this list based on your requirements. In case you want to extend it your selves, you can use the source code from here.

Note: This is not a supported utility – use it at your own risk.

Here are the steps which you need to do to use this utility: -

- Download/extract this utility from here to the machine on which you have Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft Test Manager 2010.

- Open a command prompt, change the directory to the one where you have extracted this utility and run it using the following syntax.

UpdateTestSettings /collection:<ProjectCollectionUri> /teamProject:<ProjectName> /settingsname:<TestSettingsName> [/bucketSize:<value>] [/deploymentTimeout:<value>]

Examples:

UpdateTestSettings /collection:http://abc:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection /teamProject:myProject /settingsname:My2_0_App /bucketSize:200 /deploymentTimeout:600000

UpdateTestSettings /collection:http://abc:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection /teamProjec:myProject /settingsname:My2_0_App
