My company is searching for a test management and test automation tool. Since we already use TFS 2015 for version control of our internal documents and product documentation, the question arose whether or not TFS is a suitable candidate for our testing needs.
Our situation is the following: We produce a software system that runs on our custom Linux-based OS, so all test systems are Linux machines. Each member of our test center has a personal Windows computer as well. We want test automation primarily for our functional tests, since our unit tests are already integrated into our build process.
I have done some research into this matter and found out that test management and manual testing should work quite fine with TFS via the Web Access. However, I cannot find reliable statements on the question whether or not the test automation via Microsoft Test Manager works with (remote) Linux machines.
So this is my question: Is there a way to use TFS and the Microsoft Test Manager to automate tests under Linux? If TFS itself cannot do this, are there integrations with external test automation frameworks?
For my research so far, I have used the following resources:
I would appreciate any kind of help provided.
Afraid not, Install and Deploy test agent is not support in Linux System.
What system requirements do I need to install my test test agents?
- Windows 10
- Windows 8, Windows 8.1
- Windows 7 Service Pack 1
- Windows XP Service Pack 3
- Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 Release 2, Service Pack 1

Features such as diagnostic data collection and functional test would not work on these machines since the test agent is not supported on those OSes.
