Note: you may see other errors as well related to authentication and file not found in the log files, those are not related to the current scenario.

 

Go to the TFS server and look at the server URL setting in the TFS admin console, if it is mentioned as <localhost/tfs>, change localhost to FQDN. After that you should be able to run the test.
