• KerryDBerry Web Recordings not getting inserted in script

  This may be a FAQ. I have just installed the release version VS2005 Team Tester and am trying to record a web test script. I press record (and also tried "add recording") IE pops up and I record a short series of URLs (yahoo, google) and press "Stop Recording" but nothing gets inserted into the test script. Seems to be a disconnect between IE and getting the steps back into the web test script. Is there something obvious I ...Show All

• Tim Droz TF output not conducive to efficient use from scripting

  Our builds are heavily scripted.  TF seems to output extraneous information which causes us to have to do unnecessary string parsing.  For instance, in over SCM tools usually there is a very easy way to get just the items in a directory that are under version control.  But in TFVC, if the best I can do is this: tf dir C:\proj\somedir but then I get this output to deal with: -------------- $/Proj/somedir foo.cs bar.cs baz.cs 3 item ...Show All

• wojtek suwala Is source code Safe?

  Work Items and Source code are stored in SQL Server database in TFS. If I backup all database files and restore them to another machine, could I "steal" the content(e.g. source code) of the project Thanks! Lei, The source code is only as safe as the machine which stores the source code.  If someone has obtained access to the back up of the SQL server then this is where the security breach has occurred. That being said, someone ...Show All

• yonatan_t Session Value in URL

  In a webtest I've recorded, a session value is present in the URL for some of the requests. When I replay the webtest, the test is marked as passed even though it does not complete the desired business scenario. I understand that when I replay the script this session value is no longer valid and in fact I can see a new value being returned in a response header (in the Location field). The session value in the very next request is replaced ...Show All
