Tweet I consider myself a calm person with plenty of tolerance, I believe in productive discussion and love it – Part of my job as a consultant is to talk with Teams and explain them why you should choose a specific product over another, in 99.9% of those meetings there is one guy that don’t like the change (No One Like Changes) and you need in a calm way to explain and show him the benefits of the new tool – Forcing someone to do something is never a good thing. But sometimes there is no wining...
Tweet Quality Center vs. TFS is a question I hear a lot, each customer that works with Quality Center has faced this question when the development team has decided to work with TFS or the Testers want features to help them improve their testing quality.

Tweet I did some cool things lately with TFS Lab Management API, from connecting it to TFS Web Access and allow REST access to the lab (if you want to ask why – The customer is always right ). So this part of TFS API will deal with Lab Management API, although Lab Management API is not public I’ll show some cool things you can do but this will be under your own risk.

Tweet First, what is the Build Service Host or IBuildServiceHost ? The BuildServiceHost object represent the physical location of the Controller and/or Agent objects. The name property is usually the machine name that the Controller or Agent lives on. In earlier versions, this was simply the Machine Name property on the Agent. Now, I’m working with a customer works with Lab Manager and after upgrading the SCVVM and perform some port changes we faced an issue – The Build Service Host stuck in your...
Tweet A long time ago I wrote about SharePoint 2007 Files Restore Tool , tool that allows you to connect to SharePoint content database (not need to have SharePoint installation) and extract documents. The reason I wrote this tool was a customer that upgrade TFS and perform a new installation of SharePoint so he lost all his documents, this tool helped me to extract all documents and added them to the new SharePoint site. SharePoint upgrade/migration can be unpleasant and sometimes I prefer to do...

This is the best way I found how to do that, and it require to drill down to some file inside the Test Scribe. Make Sure you backup all files before doing any...
