The Visual Studio Team System Rangers released an update to the WCF load testing tool to also support ASMX web services: http://wcfloadtest.codeplex.com/ The initial incarnation of the tool was very popular and I hope this update will make it useful to even more people. Brian
We’ve been working with a variety of hosters for the past 18 months or so. One of those hosters is TeamDevCentral. TeamDevCentral provides a variety of options for paid hosting of TFS. The new, really cool thing they they have just released is a new, free TFS hosted trial. It’s a great easy way to get started with TFS....
For a year or two now, there’s been a free download of a SCRUM based Team Foundation Server process template on microsoft.com called eScrum. It has been periodically updated and I’ve blogged about it a few times. Since it first went up I’ve tried to be clear that it was developed and maintained by an internal team not ...
Taking a break from my series on new TFS 2010 features, I thought it would be a good idea to also give a high level overview of what exactly is new in the VSTS 2010 Development edition. This should really give you a flavor for all the cool new stuff we’ve enabled for developers and development teams. If you haven’t already downloaded the VSTS ...

This weekend, I finally had a few minutes to sit down and do some analysis. As with all such things, your mileage will vary. DevDiv is a V...
Fairly often people send me pointers to new Team System/TFS tools and releases. I try not to blog about each and every one but rather batch them up and then occasionally do a summary post about the new ones I've heard about. Some of them are free and some of them are paid. This is the next installment in that series... TeamReview ...
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post talking about some of our TFS 2010 feature set – I’m referring to the one on Admin & Setup. In that post I talked about compatibility and supported dependency versions. One of the things that I mentioned was that we would be supporting VS 2008 clients through an update to the Team Explorer 2008 cl...
I’ve seen a flurry of feedback since I announced the Microsoft SDL template. I’d summarize much of that feedback as “We don’t want a single template that results in secure code development. We use a variety of templates and we want all of our development to be secure.” I couldn’t agree more with...
