Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework, Version=14.0.0.0

Just upgraded TFS and Build server to 2015 and now getting the following error when running a CodedUI test. Any suggestions?

Error adding test case [3251] to test run: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Had the same issue and the files were already in place on the build server. I GACed the assemblies in question on the build server, next release worked fine.

Perhaps related was the assembly in question was on the E: drive from my local system, so it was saved with that path in the csproj file, anyway GACing the files took care of the error.

You need to install VS2015 on the build agent machine to get the Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework.dll. After VS2015 is installed, you can get it in the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies

TFS runs builds on the TFS build agent machine, so for best practice you need to have the same dev related software environment on the build server.
