Years ago, I posted an msbuild task to run tests without test lists for VSTS 2005.  That functionality made it into VSTS 2008.  Then Pierre Greborio added support for test categories.  That test category capability is now available in VS 2010.  Using test categories is now the preferred way of running groups of tests, and you no...

Back in 2006 I wrote a post about a performance dialog that lets you see all of the calls made by the client.  It works with Visual Studio (devenv.exe), TFS command line (tf.exe), TCM command line (tcm.exe), Test Manager (mtm.exe), etc. It’s still in the product in 2010, and it’s as useful as ever if you are writing code that talks to TFS...

Monday was the official launch for the TFS and VS 2010 releases!  I highly recommend upgrading from TFS 2005 or TFS 2008 to TFS 2010.  The number of new features in TFS 2010 is very long, and there are lots of posts on them.  One of the most exciting is that you can install TFS on a client OS (e.g., Windows 7) using SQL Express 2008...
