PLAN & MANAGE YOUR PROJECT

Process Guidance & Automation− Embedded into Team Foundation Server− Provides contextual guidance (documentation)− Delivered via Process Templates

− Helps ensure predictability

Process Template

− Choose and/or customize− Out of the box: MSF Agile and MSF for CMMI− Others: SDL, Scrum, RUP, etc.

− Stored in an XML file− Process Template Editor tool− Configures

− Types of Work Items− Use Case, Task, Bug, Change Request, …

− Contents of each Work item Type− UI for each Work Item Type− Process Guidance documentation− Layout for SharePoint Portal− Types of Reports

Manage Your Project

− Team Foundation Server− Agile project management workbooks− Work item linking and hierarchy− Work item usability

− Rich text− Links control− HTML link control− Drag & Drop

− Traceability queries− Query folders− Excel & Project improvements

− Project round tripping− Formula persistence− Undo

Manage Your Project

− Top-to-Bottom Traceability− Requirements Traceability− Parent/Child Relationships− Rollup and Drilldown

− Agile Planning− Built-in product backlog mgmt− Built-in iteration planning− Easily customizable

− Great Project Integration− Full dependency linking − Full round-tripping w/ TFS

Work Item Tracking

Track any “Item of Record”• Bug, task, user story, etc.

Customizable• Dialog, fields, workflow

Accessible• Excel, Project, Web, SharePoint, 3rd Party• Take offline

Related• Link to work items, version control, test results, etc.

Highly Organized• Hierarchical• Query folders• Drag & Drop

UNDERSTAND PARALLEL DEVELOPMENT

Common Misconceptions

TFS Version control is VSS “Version Next”

• Uhh, no.

One Team Project Per Solution

• Team Projects can contain multiple solutions/projects, or whatever..

TFS is for .NET only

• “If you can save it..”

You need Visual Studio

• Lots of plug-ins, web interface, CLI, etc..

Version Control

−Integrated into Work Item Tracking, Builds

−Major Capabilities−Changesets−Workspaces−Branch And Merge−Shelving

Integrated Check-in

−Atomic−A changeset is guaranteed to have all changes

from a check-in−Integrated

−Check-in policy applied (but override-able)−Work Items associated−Builds associated with Work Items−Check-in notes−All related to changeset−Pending Check-in Window−Notification possibilities

−Check-in Policy−Customizable, extensible

22

Check-in Policies

− Soft requirements for check-in− Extensible− Can be overridden Work item

association

Testing

Clean build

Comments

Changesets

−Logical container of data related to check-in−File and branch information−Links to work items−Check-in notes−Comment−Policy compliance−Metadata (date, time, user)−Unit of atomic checkin

−Uniquely identified−Numeric identifier−Incremental

−Represents a point in time of source repository

Workspaces

Client side copy of source

checked out from

repository

Owned by one user on one machine

Changes in workspace

create “pending changes”

Workspace Mapping = Repository

folder mapped to Local Folder

Branch And Merge

Branch• A branch relationship is created in TFS to avoid

duplication of history and metadata• Path-space branching• Intelligent copies

Merge• Sync a branch into another• Cherry Picking changesets (include or omit)• Ability to show changes that have not been

merged

Branch Visualization

Focuses on answering common parallel development questions− Where did this change come from?− Has my change made it over

there?− How are these branches related?

27

Shelving

−Set aside pending changes without checkin−Optionally revert to

unmodified files−Restore shelved changes by

“unshelving”−Unshelve other user’s changes

−Power of task branching with less overhead

Task switching

Peer reviews

Backup WIP

Sharing

TFS 2010: Understand Parallel Development

− First class branches− Drag & Drop Merging

− Visualize branch relationships− Track change across branches

− History− Timeline− Richer Annotate

− Conflict resolution

Branch Visualization

Focuses on answering common parallel development questions− Where did this change come from?− Has my change made it over

there?− How are these branches related?

Build Automation

Extension of MS Build

• Integrated Windows Workflow

Several scenarios

supported

• Continuous Integration• Scheduled• Gated / Shelveset• Ad-hoc

Provides build reporting back

to TFS

• Pass / Fail• Trend data

Integrated testing

• Any automated test

Workflow based build

TFS 2010: Create a Supportive Build Workflow

Gated check-in• Essential for large teams & few branches.

Layer Diagram Validation• Ensure designed architecture is met

Distributed build• Faster builds, faster iterations

Shelveset build• Integration validation without risking the build.

Build notifications• Tray app for instant notification

Build Details View with links to errors/warnings• Direct navigation to problem source

For Non-.NET Development

− Team Explorer Everywhere− Eclipse plug-in for TFS− Rich client (Java-based)− Command-Line

Microsoft Confidential34

Check-in Validation

− Gated check-in intercepts check-ins

− Queues a server build to validate changes

− Only changes that build successfully get committed

− Definition of a “success” is customizable

− Users can also queue a build of a shelveset for “opt-in” validation

NO MORE “NO REPRO” BUGS

Rich & Actionable Bugs

Actionable Bug

−Enables immediate action.−Contains:

−Steps to Reproduce−System Information−Screenshots & Video

Capture−IntelliTrace

Microsoft® Test Manager 2010

−Create test cases for requirements.

−Plan & execute test runs.

−File bugs & track results.

IntelliTrace

−Historical record of code execution.

−Like a DVR for debugging.

−Examine actual code execution.

REPORT ON YOUR PORTFOLIO

− Are we going to deliver a quality project on time?− What do I need to know now to course correct?− What ‘fires’ will we have to put out that we don’t

know about?− What can I do to reduce the risk?
