מפגש קבוצת ALM בנושא אוטומציה ב–Visual Studio 2012

shair — Mon, 20 May 2013 06:06:00 GMT

בשנתיים האחרונות שאני שומע רק על Coded UI ב – Visual Studio אבל יש עוד כ”כ הרבה מעבר, במפגש הקרוב אני אדבר על כל יכולות האוטומציה ב – Visual Studio 2012 עבור מפתחים ואנשי אוטומציה.

נדבר על Unit Test ויכולת ה – Fakes החדשה שמגיעה עם Visual Studio 2012 (מחליף את Pex & Moles)
ממשק Web Test Manager שמגיע עם Update 2, אשר מאפשר עבודה עם בדיקות ללא MTM.
חידושים ודרכים יעילות לכתיבת Coded UI ועבודה עם דפדפנים שונים כגון FireFox ו – Chrome.
Web Performance Test
Load Testing

בנוסף לא כדאי להפסיד הרצאה של ליאור פרידמן שידבר על ניהול פרוייקטי Agile.

אשמח לראותכם במפגש!

איך להגדיר ימי חופש של סבב פיתוח - יום שישי במקום ראשון

shair — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 10:42:00 GMT

אחד השינויים ב – TFS 11 מאפשר לנו להגדיר קבוצות פיתוח והגדרה של סבבי פיתוח עם תאריך התחלה וסיום (Sprint, Iteration וכו).

כאשר מתחילים לתכנן סבב פיתוח נראה חישוב של סה”כ ימי העבודה בסבב הנוכחי, אך סה”כ הימים לא יסתדר לכם כי הוא מחשב שיום ראשון אינו יום עבודה.

זאת שאלה שאני מקבל מהרבה לקוחות – איך אני משנה את תצוגת ה – Backlog שתתאים לימי המנוחה בארץ (שישי ושבת ולא שבת וראשון).

לדוגמא – אם הגדרנו סבב פיתוח מה – 3 לפברואר עד ה – 14 לפברואר – מדובר על 12 ימים סה”כ ו-10 ימי פיתוח אבל אנחנו נראה סה”כ 9 ימי פיתוח. (שני ימי ראשון + יום שבת = שלושה ימי חופש).

על מנת לסגר את TFS 11 שיתמוך בימי החופש בארץ נצטרך להשתמש בפקודת – witadmin שתאפשר לנו לשלוף את קובץ ההגדרות עבור ניהול הפרוייקט.

witadmin exportcommonprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsServer:8080/tfs /f:e:\projectConfig.xml /p:ProjectName

לאחר שהרצנו פקודה זאת ניפתח את הקובץ ונחפש את הטקסט הבא:

  <Weekends>
    <DayOfWeek>Sunday</DayOfWeek>
    <DayOfWeek>Saturday</DayOfWeek>
  </Weekends>
</CommonProjectConfiguration>

נשנה את הערך - Sunday ל – Friday, נשמור את הקובץ.

  <Weekends>
    <DayOfWeek>Friday</DayOfWeek>
    <DayOfWeek>Saturday</DayOfWeek>
  </Weekends>
</CommonProjectConfiguration>

לבסוף יש להריץ את אותה הפקודה אך במקום export נכתוב import:

witadmin importcommonprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsServer:8080/tfs /f:e:\projectConfig.xml /p:ProjectName

עכשיו אפשר להתחיל לעבוד!

תהנו!

Couple of months ago Sela Collage were a sponsor in Microsoft ALM Summit in Seattle, there we announced on ALM Products and the first version of Web Test Manager -

Innovative approach to managing and running your tests - Any Test – AnyWhere - Anytime (by Everyone) under TFS 2010.

Q: Work Item Definition - Layout Target Not Working

shair — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:43:09 GMT

Q: Work Item Definition - Layout Target Not Working

My post about How To: Manage Custom Controls In Team System and Web Access shows how to create Work Item Layout for Web and another for Team Explorer.

I got a comment from a reader that this Target layout is not working.

Reader:After exporting the Xml using Process Editor I’m editing the Xml file and inserting the new Layout, then I import it back to TFS and the Layout changes and only keeps <Layout Target="WinForms">.

Process Editor don’t know how to work item Target Layouts!!!

So even if you able to import the xml with those changes the next time you work with process editor all those changes will be erased.

The solution for this problem is to import the xml file using witimport to import the xml without Process Editor.

How To: Manage Custom Controls In Team System and Web Access

Shai Raiten — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:28:15 GMT

How To: Manage Custom Controls In Team System and Web Access

Here is couple of question I'm hearing from people about Custom Controls:

1. Why after I add a custom control to my work item I see an error message in the Web Access?

2. Even when I have Web Access Custom Control and Team System Custom Control I can't get them to work together, always one of them shows me an error, Why?

|

Answers:

1. Custom Controls for Team System and for Web Access are different!
How To Write Team System Custom Controls
How To Write Web Access Custom Control

2.Because those Custom Controls are different you need to modify the Work Item definition for Team System and Web Access.

This is how you do it:

First install TFS PowerTools 2008.

Use Process Editor to export the Work Item we want to modify.

After we export the work item to our local drive, open it for edit.

Inside the Work Item Definition Duplicate the <Layout> information and add Target Attribute.
One Layout with Target="WinForms"
And the other one with Target="Web"

Now you got two options:

1. If you only have Team System Custom Control, Remove the Custom Control within the <Layout Target="Web"> .
So now in the Team System you will see the custom control and in the Web Access this Custom Control will be gone!

2. If you have both Custom Controls , Web Access and Team System, just replace the name of the Custom Control.

After you finish modifying the Work Item Definition use process editor to import the changes.

Perform iisreset /restart to apply changes in Web Access.

Enjoy.

How To: Write Web Access Custom Controls

Shai Raiten — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:26:20 GMT

How To: Write Web Access Custom Controls

Before you start writing Web Access Custom Control install PowerTools 2008.

After installing TFS PowerTools 2008 open "Work Item Custom Control Reference.doc".
You can find this file in "Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Sdk"

"Work Item Custom Control Reference.doc" is a full tutorial on how to write Web Access Custom Control.

In the same folder you will have a project contains lots of examples for ready Web Access Custom Controls.

I'll soon publish my own examples on how to create Web Access Custom Controls.
