I was under the impression that Microsoft Test Manager 2010 was included in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium. Is this not the case?

I can't seem to find anywhere online where it tells you which versions have the Test Manager included.

I'd really like to take advantage of the functionality of the Test Manager if possible, and MSDN's documentation on testing generally uses the Test Manager for just about everything it seems. So any information on the following would be much appreciated:

  • Is Microsoft Test Manager 2010 included in VS2010 Premium?
  • If so, where can it be found?
  • If not, which versions do include it?
  • Or is it a separate download in itself, in which case where can that download be found?

Microsoft has an article that runs down the testing in the new Visual Studio 2010 SKUs. It looks like Test Manager is only included in VS2010 Ultimate. The other SKUs can create tests that can be consumed by Test Manager, but the Ulitmate seems to be the only version with Test Manager.

It looks like it can be purchased separately from VS as part of the Visual Studio Test Professional 2010. There is a stand alone trial that can be downloaded.
