Brian Harry
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...

The Future of eScrum

Brian Harry
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...

Visual Studio Team System 2010 Development Edition: Overview

June 5, 2009 Jun 5, 2009 06/5/09
Brian Harry
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 ...

DevDiv TFS Database Sizes

May 31, 2009 May 31, 2009 05/31/09
Brian Harry
Someone asked me the other day how big to expect the relative sizes of TFS databases to be.  At the time all I had time to say was “Over time TfsVersionControl will dwarf everything else”.  This weekend, I finally had a few minutes to sit down and do some analysis.  As with all such things, your mileage will vary.  ...

Recent TFS add-ons

Brian Harry
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... ...

VS 2005 support for TFS 2010

May 28, 2009 May 28, 2009 05/28/09
Brian Harry
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 ...

The Microsoft SDL Process Template and the Future

May 21, 2009 May 21, 2009 05/21/09
Brian Harry
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...
