Publishing button is disabled

I am not able to publish the test result.

I have some web tests and some load tests. The solution and its project are built with no errors. After running the tests, I am able to export the results to a file, but the Publishing button is disabled.

I changed the configuration from debug to release and rebuilt and it did not work.

How can I publish the result Would it be possible to send the result to any form of database (SQL, Access, and Excel)

What I need to accomplish:

1-being able to compare the results, and create progress report on it.

2-being able to share the result with team in any office related product.

Thanks,

ZE

Thanks for reply,

What shoud I do now I have installed the complete version of VS2005 since web and load testing was not available in other installations.

Should I create a new vmware and install the .net fundation and reload my project there

Do not install that on your dev machine. TFS is a server based product and needs to be treated as such. You will need either a seperate virtual machine or seperate box to install TFS.

I assume you mean by complete version of VS2005 means you have installed Visual Studio Team Suite. The web and load test features are in both Team Suite and Team Edition for Software Testers.

Team Foundation Server is the new collaboration platform that is part of the broader Team System offering from Microsoft. It includes features like Version Control, Work Item tracking, Build, Reporting etc.

You will still need your IDE to create and execute tests.

You can find out more details about Team Foundation at the developer center http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/team/.

For more information about licensing you should contact your local developer solution specialist.

One of the installation options from that DVD will be the team explorer client. This installs the necessary integration features into Visual Studio Team Suite that will let you connect to the team foundation server.

Once your server and the client is installed you will need to open the team explorer from the view menu in VS.

You should be able to find adiquate documentation on the help on how to connect to a server and create a project.

For more detailed help please contact your local solution specialist. If you let me know where you are I can proably direct you to the right person.

The Publish feature is designed to publish test results to a Team Foundation Server Build.

Once they are in TFS you can use reporting services to build reports to show progress or even pull the cube data into Excel and build reports from there.

Currently there is now way to build ad-hoc reports on test results from the VS IDE alone.

It will run TFS I just want to you be aware of what you are installing. Make sure you follow the installation instructions closely.

One of the major things to keep in mind if you want to install this on the same machine as your dev box is TFS uses Sharepoint Services and when you install WSS on a machine it takes over the default website in IIS.

This could cause problems with your ASP.NET sites if you are not careful.
