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 Today I came to a customer for consulting and the customer told me that there is no Backups for TFS. So right away I told him this is very important and let’s create a Backup Plan for TFS. How To: Create TFS 2010 Backup Plan Problem So I’ve download TFS 2010 Power Tools, Install, Open TFS Administration Console, Click “Create Backup Plan” and Nothing happens. So I’ve started to investigate and saw some errors in TFS Event Log, of course I saw “Object reference not set to an instance of an object...
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 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...
Tweet I know this sound like something from computer games, but not. I was showing some demos on my machine and some one asked me during the demo: What is the “GodMode” folder on your desktop? GodMode is a nice trick I’m using from Windows Vista to manage my computer, GodMode lets me access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder. Create a folder, the name is not important. Rename the folder name to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} And Walla! Now...

Tweet מהרגע שחזרתי מכנס Build לקוחות שואלים אותי מה מחכה להם בגרסא החדשה של Visual Studio 11 ו – TFS 11? קצת היסטוריה – בעבר חברות רכשו מספר רב של כלים עבור כל תפקיד ייעודי בחברה, לאנשי פיתוח – Visual Studio, לאנשי בדיקות Quality Center ועוד כלים לאוטומציה, מנהלים עבדו עם Excel או MS Project ועוד ועוד כלים, הבעיה שלא היתה אינטגרציה ושיתופיות מלאה בין הכלים, מה שגרם לקשיים לא קטנים בתקשורת ובמעקב אחרי התהליך. ב – 2005 מיקרוסופט הוציאה לאוויר העולם את Team System כמוצר נפרד מ – Visual Studio שהיה חידוש...
Tweet לקוחות שעובדים עם Microsoft Test Manager לניהול בדיקות בעיברית נתקלים בבעיה נפוצה בתמיכה בישיר הטקסט מימין לשמאל. אפשר להחליף את כיוון הטקסט לימין אבל הוא ישר יקפוץ לשמאל כאשר נעבור לצעד הבא, וזה לא באמת פתרון… שעובדים עם עיברית ואנגלית ביחד קשה מאוד לערוך ולהריץ את התסריטים שלנו בצורה נוחה. אל דאגה יש פתרון גם לזה, אם נשנה את הערך של FlowDirection ב – Registry ל – 1 הכיוון של הטקסט ב – Microsoft Test Manager יתהפך ונוכל לקרוא את הבדיקות שלנו בצורה נורמלית. יש לסגור ולפתוח מחדש את Microsoft...
