Team System 2010 Beta 2 “Microsoft Test And Lab Management” - Introduction

Eran Ruso — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:58:00 GMT

I have posted about the “Microsoft Test and Lab Management” (MTLB) first when the Beta 1 was introduced.

In this post I will show the changes made since Beta 1, you can read my post here.

The menu in Beta 1 was this:

In Beta 2 you can only find 2 sections:

The Organize section is now part of the Testing Center sub menus.

lets take a peek at the sub menus in the Beta 2:

If you will compare that to Beta 1 you will see that the same functionality and menus stayed the same but is reorganized in the Beta 2.

I have already published posts of how to use the Organize section and its functionality, you can still use that in Beta 2.

Have Fun!!!

I have started to work on a Quick Guide for the “Microsoft Test And Lab Management” after a lot of users that likes to understand and try the tool.

The quick guide is posted in my personal blog here and will be spread on a few posts where the first one is published here.

There is also an introduction post here that can give a good idea on what this tool can do.

The quick guide will be published in the “Team System Guides” codeplex site here when finished, I will post on that too.

Team System 2010 Beta 1 “Microsoft Test And Lab Management” - Introduction

Eran Ruso — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:37:00 GMT

With the Team System 2010 Beta 1 the Manual Testers have received a great tool called “Microsoft Test And Lab Management”.

Every Microsoft tool has its code name and the “Microsoft Test And Lab Management is no different, the code name for this tool is “Camano”.

In this post I will give a brief overview of the tool, I will not show all the functionality of the tool in order to keep the post short and readable.

The tool is built of three main sections:

1. Testing Center – In this section the user can see the Test Plans, Run the Test Plan, Analyze the Test Results and manage the bugs.

2. Lab Center – Here the user can manage the different environments, machines both Physical and Virtual and Test Settings that defines the way the tests will run on each environment.

3. Organize – Here the user can manage its Test Cases, Shared Steps (Steps that can be sheared between different Test Cases), Configurations (Defines the content of the test environment, example: Win XP SP3 with IE 8.0) and finally the Test Plans that will be used in the “Testing Center”.

So where to start?

You need to start in the “Organize’ section where you plan your Test Cases, Configurations and Test Plans, you can choose the order.

How do I do that?

How to do it will be on my next “Camano” post…

Have Fun!!!

Team Build 2010 Beta 1 Log File

Eran Ruso — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:56:00 GMT

This morning when I worked with the Team Build 2010 Beta 1 I found a very nice surprise.

I work a lot with the Team Build and when I have a problem with the build I go to the log file, some of you that have encountered this “Monster” log file know that it is a “killer” for the eyeballs, it is a very long notepad file that lists all the steps made by the build engine and all the errors it has encountered.

You can see very short example of such a log at the end of this post.

So what is so exciting with the new Team Build?

The new Team Build presents the log file in a way that humans can read, the log has an hierarchy of actions and it hides the details so you can keep tracking of what happened during the build process.

What if you need the details? Just click on “Show Property Values” and you will have all the details shown in the hierarchy.

You can also navigate thru the log finding all the Errors and Warnings using the “Next Error” and “Next Warning” buttons.

Besides for the Team Build log there are many great surprises in the Team Build 2010, I will post more about it in future posts.

Have Fun!!!

This post was also published in my personal blog here.

Has promised here is the short log file example from the Team Build 2008, try to find something in it.
Tip: If you have troubles sleeping at night try to read one log file before bed time, It Works Like A Charm!!!

What Is A Good Build Machine?

Eran Ruso — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:52:00 GMT

When I come to work with customers on builds first I ask where the build machine is.

Most chances that I will get one of the following three answers:

It is on my Team System server.
It is on my computer.
It is on one of the developers computer.

All three situations are wrong when it comes to build machines.

What is a good build machine and where to install it?

My opinion is to put it on a “clean” computer that has no more then the minimum that is required for the compilation of the application and for running all the required tests.

The required tests are first all the Unit Tests made for the target application, in addition to that a team can require that more tests for example “Sanity Tests” will be executed as well.

So what is the minimum that is required for this “clean” computer?

The minimum is all the applications, DLLs, Compilers etc. when it comes to software and the minimum hardware that is required for the compilation.
When it comes to tests you will need to have the “Test Engine” installed on the build machine too.

It is important to keep the build machine has clean as possible, so when the build fails you will know that the cause doesn’t lies in something that is installed on the computer.

Back to the answers I get, it is now obvious why all three situations are wrong, all three situations are build machines that runs on a computer with a different purpose.
The first one is a server that runs the TFS and all its additions, and the other two are development computers.

What do you think?

Error: TFS55030 When Running RenameDT Command

Eran Ruso — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:40:00 GMT

“ERROR: TF55030: Rename Data Tier failed. Please verify that the supplied Data Tier name is a valid Team Foundation Data Tier name, that the Data Tier can be accessed on the network and that you have administrative rights.”

Most chances that the problem is because you have shutdown your old TFS.

In order to fix the problem just load your old TFS and rerun the command.

In case that doesn’t help run the following command line:

Set TfsDetailedErrors=1

Rerun the RenameDT command, now you will get more details on the error so you can troubleshot the problem.

How To Create A Branch In Team System 2008

Eran Ruso — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:15:00 GMT

Before I start with the how to create a branch step by step guide, I like to remind that creating a branch should be done by a SCM (Software Configuration Management) plan and not when ever you “feel” like creating a branch. It is very important to manage your branches or else you will have a big pile of branches that no one knows there purpose.

After saying that here is the step by step guide:

The demonstration will be for a demo project called "Web Sites".

Step 1: Right click the source folder that is candidate for Branch.

Step 2: Choose the Branch option

Step 3: Change the "Target" field to contain the Source Control path for the new branch.
By the SCM (Software Configuration Management) plan of this demo the path should contain the version number of the branch and it should be located in the "Test" folder.

Step 4: Make sure that the "Branch from version" field shows "Latest Version" in order to "branch" from the latest available version of code.

Step 5: Click the "OK" button.

Note: The “Create local working copies for the new branch” checkbox is optional, if checked it will automatically creates a new folder for the branch locally.

Step 6: Now you have the branch ready in the "Test" folder with the name "3.0 Web Sites" but it is a local copy and will not be shown by other users until you will check in the changes. Right Click the new Branch and choose the "Check In Pending Changes…" option.

Step 7: Add your comment and click the "Check-In" button

That is all, you have a new branch.

Have Fun!!!

WMI Scripts For Changing Physical Path Of IIS Virtual Directory

Eran Ruso — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:49:00 GMT

A customer asked me to write him a script that will set physical directories for his IIS virtual directories.

What was the motivation for that?

The customer worked with none dynamic URLs.
The customer started to work with SCM (Software Configuration management) plan.
Part of the SCM plan is a way to manage versions.
The customer is working with source control as a result he gets to situations where developers works on different versions simultaneously.

In simple words you get to a situation where you work on the same web project from different locations on your hard drive.

The problem is that you can have only one virtual directory for each URL in IIS.

Now that the motivation is clear lets look at the solution: I needed to create a batch file that will automatically change the physical mapping of the virtual directories.

In order to get the job done I used a WMI scripts.

The first thing I did was to search for a solution in Google just to find out there are many results and none to fit what I needed.

After a few phone calls to good friends of mine: Leon Lengleyben and Roy Elimelech we got to the solution.

To get all the parameters we used the sample in here.

How To Get A File History In TFS Source Control Using Code

Eran Ruso — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:06:00 GMT

A project I am doing these days requires me to get file history changesets using the API.

Sounds like a simple task right?

Apparently there is not a lot of reference to that in Google, so after almost throwing my computer out of the window (More than once I most admit) I found the answer.

Add the following references to your using list:

using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client;

The example function is very simple it gets a change and shows message boxes of all the changesets that have a change for the specified file up to the change transferred to the method.

Note: Change the [Server Name] with your TFS name.

public void GetChangesetsOfFile(Change theChange)

{

//Query History parameters

      TeamFoundationServer tfs new TeamFoundationServer
                    ("[Server Name]");

      VersionControlServer VCServer =
                    (VersionControlServer)tfs.GetService
                    (typeof(VersionControlServer));

      int changeId = (theChange.Item.DeletionId != 0) ?
                    theChange.Item.ChangesetId - 1 :
                     theChange.Item.ChangesetId;

ChangesetVersionSpec version = new
ChangesetVersionSpec(changeId);

ChangesetVersionSpec versionFrom = new
ChangesetVersionSpec(1);

string path = theChange.Item.ServerItem;

//Query History Command

      IEnumerable changesets = VCServer.QueryHistory(path,
               version, 0, RecursionType.None, null,
               versionFrom, LatestVersionSpec.Latest,
               int.MaxValue, true, false);

      foreach (Changeset cSet in changesets)
      {
        MessageBox.Show(cSet.Changes
            [0].Item.ChangesetId.ToString());
      }
    }

I hope I could help.

Have Fun!!!
