Obtaining Current Build Number/Environment Settings in MTM Test Run

I have been trying to find a way to access the current Build Number and/or the current Environment Settings from MTM for a test suite run as part of a build. I wish to use this information within my own custom reports as the information provided by MTM does not capture everything I require.

Anyone been able to achieve this? I have read many posts of people trying, but they all seem to end at dead ends or Test Scribe, which just outputs the same data in a word doc and is fairly restricted (no custom filepath to save to, and is not run during tests).

Unfortunately I have no code to present what I have tried as I have not even been close. Though I have looked at TestContext in VisualStudio2010 quite closely and it does not appear to pick up much MTM info outside of the current TestCase being run.

Hi you can use the following code to get the plan and build details through MTM 

WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfsserv.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
        Project tfsproject = workitemstore.Projects[tfsprojectname];
        ITestManagementService Mtmserveice = (ITestManagementService)tfsserv.GetService(typeof(ITestManagementService));
        ITestManagementTeamProject mtmproj = Mtmserveice.GetTeamProject(tfsproject.Name);

        ITestPlan plan = mtmproj.TestPlans.Find(planid);
        Console.WriteLine("Test Plan: {0}", plan.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("Plan ID: {0}", plan.Id);
        Console.WriteLine("Build Currently In Use: {0}", plan.BuildNumber);

You can use the TFS API for that.

We have implemented an external project (not as part of a team build) which is reporting the TestResults of a TestRun by passing as parameters the TestRunId or the BuildNumber. I think that if you use it as part of a build you will be able somehow to pass it as parameter on runtime or just get the latest Build.

You can check the following links for further details:
