About this task
To define categories and category types:
Procedure

Plan Categories, Test Case Categories,
or Test Suite Categories.
- Click the Add Category Type icon
(
) to create a new category type.
- Type the name of the new category type.
- Click Save.
- Click the Add icon (
) to add new categories to each category type. For example, you can add a specific product, release number,
or test phase.
- Type the name of the new product, new release number, test
phase, or the entry for any new category type.
- Optional: Select an owner for each category.
For
example, you can assign a team member to be the owner of a particular
category. Assume that you have a product, and thus, a category named
Classics. Assigning a team member as the owner of the Classics category
sends that team member a work item to create the test assets for the
Classics product.
- Click Save.
Results
After you finish defining the category types and categories,
