I would like to use MTM data in my unit tests and the test to NOT use the CodedUI attribute on the class.

1. Make [TestClass] able to access MTM through TestContext or make CodedUI able to 'Ignore' the fact that Desktop is closed.

I do not use any feature of CodedUI that interacts with the desktop and have just come from a post session explaining this to a very help full person.

I just and only want access to MTM test data with desk top closed, no UI maps, no interaction with desk top.

Cheers.

Kwisitive,
Thanks for your suggestions! I clearly see the value in having MTM TestContext for unit tests - adding this to our product backlog. This will be addressed as per business priorities.

None direct but...
1. Only way is to have desktop open, not ideal for the work I am doing.
2. Useother data source and loose the MTM logging of results.
