I’ve been using Watin for quite some browser automation projects. But it seems that Watin is a bit dead in the water. No Chrome support. No Firefox 4 or higher support. It also seems to be an heroic effort of a few people.
So it might be time to move over to Selenium. Active development, wide browser support…
QuickLearn’s MVP Anthony Borton is scheduled to teach the pre-conference hands-on workshop Managing your Application Lifecycle with TFS at next week’s ALM Summit.
Audience
This pre-conference workshop has been developed as a level 200 event to help get conference attendees up to speed with TFS and maximize their understanding of the product and its features prior to the ALM Summit kicking off.
Course Abstract
Many organizations use only part of what Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) has to offer and as a result are not realizing the full range of benefits available to them. This workshop will give you a hands-on walk through of the many ways TFS can help your team realise more frequent successes with software development projects.
The workshop will start by evaluating and selecting a suitable process template for the project. We’ll work through an end to end project and examine the many capabilities of TFS that can help you start your project off on the right track and keep it there. Some of the key topics we’ll look at include:

I wanted to write about the topic of whether to repurpose system entities in CRM 2011 or create new custom entities. I know that there have been some blog posts about this before, but I can also reflect on this from personal experience.
There are many different points to consider when repurposing entities:
1. The out […]

Every time I suggest BizTalk as an alternative in a “bid” or project I feel like the guy to the right.

The new mapper in BizTalk 2010 is major improvement on the old BizTalk mapper but a couple of things real bug me. 1. In the old map if you had a greater than functoid on the page and you wanted to change it to say less than all you had to do was drag the […]

This is just a reminder for my self of how and why we do this.
We have 2 projects within a TFS project collection for our integration component developments. We have:
1. A project for .net based integration projects
2. A project for BizTalk based integration projects
The main reason we do this is so we dont have loads of TFS projects as we have a significant number of components but also we want some different rules around check in and source control locks etc etc…..
At this stage our build servers are still running cruise control rather than Team Build so one of the problems i was finding was when cruise control labelled a build in TFS i couldnt tell easily in the label search which component or folder the build label related to. We modified the build scripts to do a custom label with TF.exe so that we could put a specific label from each build. We used the following command:
<Exec Command=‘“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf” label “$(CCNetProject).$(CCNetLabel)” $(MsBuildProjectDirectory) /recursive‘/”/>
Using this command means that the build label is applied at the right place for the workspace but also the label includes the cruise control project name making it easy to workout what the label was actually for rather than just being a bunch of version numbers.
There is probably a better way to do this but its working fine for us.
