How to use Test Studio - Getting Started

[Zac Everett]

I'm new to automated testing and would like to understand how i can use Test Studio within our development team.

So far,
I've downloaded the trial and created a simple test using Test Studio standalone. I've then exported this to Visual Studio 2010 c#.
I can load the TestProject up in visual studio and run the tests and see the output.

My question is how do i then use this project with the rest of the team of 5 developers who do not have Test Studio installed on their machines?

The cost is too much for each developer to have their own copy of Test Studio.

How i thought this type of testing would work is each developer would make bug fixes run the tests locally before checking their changes to TFS, is this not how it's meant to be used?

Regards
Zac
