| SSWUpdate - Do you keep chunks of work small, check in after completing each chunk of work? |
[the cutting edge ]G'Day Developers! Frequently developers work on long or difficult features/bugs and leave code checked out for days or worse still weeks.
That's why source code should be checked in regularly. We recommend a check-in:
If the changes would break the build or are in a state that cannot be put into the main trunk, then this code should be put into a shelveset (sometimes referred to as 'sandbox') in source control. Another good reason to check-in regularly is that it makes it easier to merge your changes with other developers. If all developers check-in lots of changes in one go, you will spend a lot of your time resolving conflicts instead of doing work. TIP: How can you enforce regular check-ins? Monitor them using a report to see who has not checked in. See more of the SSW Rules pages. Adam Cogan Got a comment for Adam? 6164616d636f67616e407373772e636f6d2e6175 |

Eliminating No-repro Bugs – A look at the new Microsoft Visual Studio� Team Test 2010 product. by Anthony Borton
The July Sydney .NET User group meeting looks at the recently released Microsoft Visual Studio� Team Test 2010 Beta 1 product and how it can drastically reduce the “find and fix” time for bugs that are raised by your testers. Today, significant time is often wasted trying to reproduce bugs with limited success and labelling bugs as “No-repro” can be frustrating for both testers and developers.
Microsoft’s new Test and Lab Manager Application allows testers to create, manage and execute tests quickly and easily in a dedicated user interface. Using Test Cases, Test Suites and Test Plans, testers will find the new features allow them to better participate as a full team member in Visual Studio Team System.
The session will touch on the following features of the Visual Studio Team Test 2010 product.
- Microsoft Test Runner
- Microsoft Test and Lab Manager application
- Bug Reporting and Data Collectors
- Unit Testing
- Coded UI Test
- Web Test
- Load Test
