Use test categories rather than test lists (vsmdi files)

June 13, 2010 Jun 13, 2010 06/13/10

Buck Hodges

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 ...

How to see the TFS server calls made by the client

April 23, 2010 Apr 23, 2010 04/23/10

Buck Hodges

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 ...
