TFS 2008 Admin – The Way It Was

− Installation not as easy as it should be− Upgrades even more difficult than

clean install− Scalability limited− Ability to move team projects is

difficult− Ability to isolate projects also difficult− Limited to Server OS’s

TFS 2010 Admin – The Way It Is Now

− Installation and configuration have been separated

− Introduction of TFS Administration Console

− Scalability greatly improved− Team Project Collections− Multiple Data Tier Support− Application Tier Load Balancing Support

− Can now be installed on client OS’s (e.g. Vista and Windows 7)

Installing TFS 2010

− Install TFS “bits”− Configure TFS based on hardware,

needs, etc.− Example screen shots follow…

Microsoft Test Manager

Test Manager – Data Collection

− “It works on my machine!”− Can’t reproduce− Steps not documented− No screen shots

Agenda

− Overview− Team Foundation Server− Testing− Development− Architecture− Miscellaneous− Questions

Unit Test Improvements

− Programmatically Control Unit Test Execution

− Support for Categories (instead of lists)

− Performance Improvements− E.G. using more than one core

− Extensible with Custom Attributes− Can Extend Unit Test Type

Test Impact Analysis

− Identifies tests impacted by code changes

− Significantly reduces test time

IntelliTrace

− Also known as “Historical Debugger”− Reduces debug “cycling”

− Start Debug− Encounter defect− Drop into debugger− Move back through execution history to

locate defect− Historical debug trace enables

debugging off-machine test runs

Database Features

− “Data Dude” built in− Support for non-Microsoft databases

now available via “Provider” model− Third-parties expected to build

providers− DB2− Oracle− Others?

Agenda

− Overview− Team Foundation Server− Testing− Development− Architecture− Miscellaneous− Questions

Architecture

− New Architectural Diagrams−Layer Diagram

− New UML Diagrams− Activity Diagram− Use Case Diagram− Logical Class Diagram− Component Diagram− Sequence Diagram

Layer Diagram

− Depicts application source as “Layers”− Several pre-built patterns included− Can associate source projects with

layers− Diagram can be validated

Three Layer Pattern

− Example Three Layer Pattern:

UML Activity Diagram

Use Case Diagram

Logical Class Diagram

Component Diagram

Sequence Diagram
