Gary,

I've used the VSTS stuff to do http level web and loadtesting, and
found it a great tool for such things.

MS has it's own standard for report files (it appears to be largely
xml based if I recall correctly)  so potentially one solution might be
to see if you can find documentation on that format and have your
tests write out their results in that way.

The other thing to investigate might be if you could use something
like IronRuby to allow you to more tightly integrate your watir tests
so that they run as if they were unit tests, and the results then
reported back via VSTS's normal reporting for unit tests.

Considering not many of the folks here have a lot of experience using
VSTS, you might also want to try posting in one of the appropriate
MSDN Visual Studio forums (either for Test Edition, or Team Suite
(which includes the TE functionality).  When I was doing a lot of
loadtesting stuff at a prior job, I used to hang out in their web/
loadtest forum a lot, and it's a pretty good group of folks over there
who I've found were generally pretty helpful.  So since this is really
more about getting VSTS to read/accept your test results, than
something specific to Watir, you might be able to get better assitance
from them, at least in terms of figuring out if the issue is somehow
telling VSTS to link to the results of your tests, or perhaps
formatting those results in a way vsts understands.
