Microsoft Test Manager 2010 - Tips and Tricks
Editing Manual tests in TFS 2010 from MS Excel 2010
Manual test cases created in Team Foundation Server 2010 can be easily edited from MS Excel. The TFS 2010 and Excel 2010 integration is native.

( 1 Vote ) Test Planning in TFS 2010 Test Manager
 There is a new and better way for planning and managing manual test passes/runs with TFS (Team Foundation Server) 2010. The first most important change is that, there is no more a need to maintain thousands of .mht files in test projects for manual tests like in version 2008. You also don’t have to maintain your manual tests in via Test list editor (.vsmdi). Now, all the manual test cases reside in TFS database and are maintained there. A manual test case is just like any other workitem. The Test Edition or Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate comes with a new tool called Microsoft Test Manager 2010. Lets see some of the basic test planning features.( 0 Votes ) TRX to HTML generator
Its been long that I wanted to document about this command line utility developed in C# to generate html report file from Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 report file (trx). It is compatible with TRX merger utility, which means it can consume the output file of the merger to produce html files for reporting.

( 0 Votes ) LINQ to XML
After I built the TRX to html report generator, there was a little obvious need to have it centrally available so that team members can upload the results to a central place and manager(s) and PMs can view them. The requirement was a web-based report viewer. I could have built it using the same old tool with some web-pages to give links to the reports, but I also wanted to take out the tester's dependency to have the html generator tool. I turned to develop a simple web-app to do the job.

( 0 Votes ) Sample of Pivot SQL
As a part of reporting, my friend faced a simple looking problem. He was struggling for almost half a day to solve this by a SQL query. When he showed me the problem, I just realized that it is something that we usually do in excel called pivot tables and I asked him to look over the internet if there is something called "pivot query" and to our surprise there is something called as that...we just didn't know, so I am going to document it.

( 0 Votes ) What are webtests in Visual Studio Team System
Visual Studio Team System 2008 offer variety of tests that you can create depending on the application and your testing needs. I recently came across a scenario where I want to test basic functionality of our home grown proxy server. The testing focus was to make sure that the server behaves as expected on the GET and POST requests send to it. I quickly figured out that I am going to need some tool with with I am able to record/capture HTTP request going to and coming from the server. OpenSTA was an obvious choice, as I knew I can do that in OpenSTA, but when you have a powerful tool like VSTS, you may want to think twice. Also, as all the other tests for the project were in VSTS umbrella, it made more sence to include these server tests to the same suite. VSTS offers a kind of test with which you can record/capture the HTTP/S traffic to your webserver or website or for that matter any such server that is communicating on HTTP protocol.

( 1 Vote ) TRX to HTML using XSLT and JavaScript
Here is another simple way to generate HTML reports from Visual Studio Team System 2008, test execution result files (.trx). I have already described how you can use only XSLT to convert TRX to HTML in my earlier write up - Generating HTML reports from TRX using XSLT. This article describes another similar method which requires xslt, but using JavaScript on the HTML page. Now, the difference here is to make the trx and xslt files independent.
