We're considering doing the following: Store manual test scripts in Sharepoint Create a new "Test Run" Work Item type in Team System On each run of the test, create a new Test Run item, linking it to its manual test script On each run of the test, store the test evidence on the Test Run Work Item as a file attachment One problem with...
I am using VSTS 2008 with both the developer and database editions installed. I have the DB edition GDR installed (version 9.0.31124). We have several places in code that we reference linked servers (DB2 mainframe, iSeries, and SQL Server). One such example is this code that we have in a store procedure: SELECT VendorID INTO #tmp...
Hi, I am working on a C# project which must be built for more than one platform (.Net and CF.Net) and from past experiences I have found that the best approach that works for me is to have multiple parallel solutions present side by side in the same folder corresponding to each platform. All the code files, resources etc are shared by t...
Does anyone know how get a listing of all files changed in multiple changesets in Visual Studio Team System 2005? I basically want to see a listing of all files changed from the start of a development effort till the end. ...
I'd like to create a simple report that shows files that currently have pending changes (checked out) from a TFS 2008 server. I know that I can "Find in Source Control" option from the Team Explorer, but I rather have a reporting services report if that's possible. Ideally, I'd be able to show when the file was checked out and the user t...
We installed SP1 on our Team Foundation Server 2008 server. Everything seems fine after the install, except there is a red X on the Reports folder in the Team Explorer in Visual Studio. If we attempt to access the Reporting Services web site, we get a message that says that the "report server is unavailable". There were no errors during ...
I'd like to send a custom build status email during or after the TFS build, but it doesn't look like the actual compilation status, etc. is known until after the entire process ends. Does anyone know of a way to send a custom email (other than the built-in alert email) that has the true build status? ...
Currently we have several defect and bug tracking systems, which include Quality Centre and bespoke support systems (both team and company wide). Also we use Microsoft Project - although I haven't seen a task list in months... But what I find difficult to understand is why our company purchases VSTS and only utilises part of it - we c...
If you are using TFS 2005 or 2008, how do you user iterations and areas? Do you create an area for specific parts of the application you are building? Here is an interesting article on areas and how the TeamSystem team uses them: http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlee/archive/2006/08/09/when-to-use-team-projects.aspx But, i'm even more curiou...
I trying to subscribe to the "build complete" event of TeamFoundation like it's described in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc507647.aspx. And I'm failing to get anything from team system. Can anyone point to some potential problem areas I need to check? ...
I am trying to find out if it is worth moving to this system, and would like to know people's experiences with it? Have you found it to be stable? Buggy? What are some of the issues you have had with it? ...
I have 3 build scripts that create separate components of a distributed suite of applications. They are stored in a folder structure like the following: LegacyComponents - VB6 code that is "live" but in the process of being replaced NewComponents - Rewritten components in C# Database TeamBuildTypes └ LegacyBuild └ NewBuild └ DatabaseB...
I'm really new to TFS Server and MbUnit. What steps do you need to do to make the builds on TFS run your MbUnit tests? ...
I wish to uninstall the trail copy of VS 2008 Team System, as the trial is coming to its end. I had VS 2008 Professional Edition installed on the machine to start with and it still shows up in Add/Remove Problems. I am hoping that when I uninstall VS 2008 Team System I will be left with a working VS 2008 Professional Edition. When I t...
Does anyone know of a tool that will spit out a list of all methods with the [TestMethod] attribute within a solution? What we're trying to accomplish is a review, with the customer, of our Unit Tests (names, not pass/fail status) against the Requirements. We are using VSTS 2008 and Scrum for Team Systems, so I wasn't sure if this wa...
I'm new to using Team Explorer, I create a new project in source control using VSTS, then I see the plus signs, check marks etc. Then I closed the project and reopened it, all the plus signs and check marks are gone as if the project is not under source control. Why is this happening I wonder? Thanks, Ray. ...
How do you remove the bindings from a VS Team project, is it just a matter of deleting ".vspscc" files? What is the best way to do this, say I have a project on CodePlex and it is time to package it up for release, but by default the bindings come with the source so when others open the solution it interferes with it. Thanks, Ray. ...
I installed TFS 2008 Workgroup Edition a while back, and everything was running fine. Recently I tried opening TFS to a couple of friends so that we can collaborate on a project. The Source Control portion is working correctly, but the Documents and Reports folders are not available (they have red crosses on them). When I looked at t...
I'm working with VSTS 2005, and while the unit testing tools are fairly straightforward, I'm left wondering if there is any sort of support for mocking. I'd hate to have to do the mocking manually, because that leads to a lot of (mostly generated) boilerplate code. I have an edict from The Powers That Be, that a third-party mocking libr...
We're starting a project written in Java in a company which works purely on MS technologies. Microsoft Team System is used as source control tool. A question is whether we should try to integrate Eclipse with MTS (which makes sense from the top level as there would be still a single repository for the company) or we should try to setup a...
