How to: Delete a Test Configuration

In Microsoft Test Manager, you can delete test configurations as shown in the following illustration. Test configurations can be associated with test suites or with individual tests. However, if a test configuration is referenced in a test result or is a default configuration for a test plan or a test suite, you cannot delete that configuration. Alternatively, you can change the state of the configuration to inactive so that it can no longer be selected as a default configuration for a test suite or a test plan. For more information, see How to: Set a Test Configuration To Be Inactive.
