Developers are Raving Fans

July 27, 2011 Jul 27, 2011 07/27/11

Brian Harry

Last month I wrote a post describing a cool, streamlined, web based Agile project management solution we are building. Over the next week or so I’m going to write a series of posts covering another area we’ve been working on. We call the scenario “Developers are Raving Fans”. In the 2010 release of Team ...

Putting TFS on Port 80

July 25, 2011 Jul 25, 2011 07/25/11

Brian Harry

Maarten asked me a couple of weeks ago if it was possible to put TFS on port 80 along with Sharepoint and if so, was there any documentation. I said, yes, I know it's possible because I know we've tested it but I didn't know if there was any documentation. After a little poking around the conclusion was "no", there isn't any ...

stpSoft Requirements Definer

July 25, 2011 Jul 25, 2011 07/25/11

Brian Harry

stpSoft recently released additional support for Team Foundation Server with their Requirements Definer product. Check it out here: http://www.stpsoft.co.uk/definer/index.html. And make sure to watch the videos - they do a good job of showing the flow from creating a user story through flow definition, requirements, test cases, ...

Unified UserVoice site

July 18, 2011 Jul 18, 2011 07/18/11

Brian Harry

It pretty quickly became clear that having separate Visual Studio and Visual Studio ALM sites just wasn't going to be a good idea. It just wasn't clear to people which site to post ideas in. As a result, we have combined the two under the Visual Studio site. The ALM ideas and votes have been moved over. Please file your ideas...

UserVoice site for Visual Studio too

July 13, 2011 Jul 13, 2011 07/13/11

Brian Harry

In addition to the UserVoice site that I recently blogged about for Visual Studio ALM features I blogged about recently, we've also created a UserVoice site for general Visual Studio feedback for areas other than the ALM features. I'm not 100% sure why we created 2 of them but I guess it gives you the ability to have 2 top 10 lists :) &...

New Avenue for Feedback on VS ALM

July 12, 2011 Jul 12, 2011 07/12/11

Brian Harry

UPDATE 7/18/11: We've combined the ALM UserVoice site with the Visual Studio one at http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/filters/top. Please file your ideas there. We recently created a UserVoice site for the world to make product suggestions and vote on them. As you can see from the site, it’s ...

MSDN Subscribers can now upgrade their TFS 2010 SQLServer to SQL 2008 R2

July 12, 2011 Jul 12, 2011 07/12/11

Brian Harry

A while ago we got some feedback from customers that something about our licensing of Team Foundation Server’s use of SQL under an MSDN subscription didn’t make sense. We’ve just fixed it. Let me start by explaining status quo. When you purchase TFS, you get a license to use SQLServer Standard Edition along with your ...

OData Access to TFS

July 4, 2011 Jul 4, 2011 07/4/11

Brian Harry

I’m criminally late in blogging about this and for that I apologize. Several months ago, the Microsoft platform evangelism team came to me and said they wanted to create a really good OData sample that would show people all the stuff you can do with OData and how easy it is. They told me that they thought creating an ...
