Work Item Moving Tool is back!

Hey guys, I've finally had a chance to update my work item moving tool to work with the RTM release of Team Foundation Server. Along the way, I made some modifications and changes that I've wanted to do for a while. I haven't thought of a better name

'Wall Time' as a way of determining correctness

Quite a few years back, I joined the Windows Server 2003 team as a developer. Windows Server 2003 is a massive organization – I was part of the UDDI team which resided under Directory Services. Our QA team had a suite of about 300 automated tests. The

Quick post - 2 really cool features about Work Items

I’ve just returned from Tech Ed Australia and New Zealand and I’ve got lots to blog about that. But before I do that, 2 features about Work Items caught my eye tonight that I really wanted to share. First, you can copy a single work item to another Team

You meet the nicest people on a Honda...

When I moved to Seattle, one of the most enjoyable things I learned how to do was ride a motorcycle. I really enjoyed the open air, speed and thrill of riding. Both of the bikes that I’ve owned – a Kawasaki Ninja 500 and a Ducati Monster 750 – were very

When to use Team Projects

Team Projects have turned out to a more confusing feature than was intended in Visual Studio Team System. We are in the process of building some guidance for when to create them, but in the meantime, I thought I would shed some light on how we use them

What does a Team Foundation Server CAL look like?

Much has been made about when and where you need a Team Foundation Server CAL; but until now, I don’t think anyone has talked about what one looks like. In my 8 or so years at Microsoft, I’ve never actually seen a CAL of any kind. So, a few weeks ago,

Thoughts on David Lempher's brainstorm about Impact Analysis

Rob Caron pointed me to David Lempher’s recent blog post about possibly doing impact analysis with Team Foundation Server. It’s a funny coincidence, because Bogdan Crivat and I were brainstorming about how we can take better advantage of the data mining

More on the Trend Calculation

One of the most useful aspects of the KPI is the ability to report a trend – that is, the value of a KPI compared to its value in the past. This is a really useful way to determine whether you are making progress or not. I had a chance to meet with Bogdan

Just a quick post about being more specific about what data you collect ...

The Performance Tools are an integrated part of Visual Studio Team System, but they are also exposed as command line tools. One of these tools - vsinstr.exe is used to insert timing probes into your binary. These probes report information to us that we
