How to: Find and View Test Runs

You can view, pause, resume, stop, and delete runs by using the Test Runs window. You can perform these actions on test runs that were run on the local computer and on remote computers, as described in the following procedures:

  • Finding and Viewing Local Test Runs

  • Finding and Viewing Remote Test Runs

For more information about how to delete test runs, see How to: Delete Test Results.

Note

To save disk space, you can limit the number of test runs that Visual Studio stores. For more information, see How to: Limit the Number of Stored Test Runs.
