"View Test Results" is missing from TFS 2010 web access build summary?

Question

I'm using vs\tfs 2010 to queue builds with tests. When using vs to queue the build, I can access the "View Test Results" in the build summary. But when I queue the build using the TFS web access, this link is missing from the build summary.

Answer 1

My guess is that opening test results requires Visual Studio or Test Manager. Even so, I wouldn't see the harm in allowing you to download the file(s). As a cheap work around you could click "View Log" and scroll down towards the bottom to see the test results.

Additionally, you could create a custom build control to display a hyperlink to the build results:
