If you believe your changes caused a build or test failure, you can start investigation of the build problem and inform other team members about that. You can also assign another team member to investigate failed builds or mark a failed build as fixed and give up investigation.

  3. In the Investigation dialog box that opens, do the following:
    • From the Users list, select Me to assign the investigation to you, or select a team member who may be responsible for this failure.
