  Are there any APIs to access the WebTest scripts   Would I be able to create my own Test Type (when documentation is ready) and somehow manipulate an existing WebTest programatically The kind of things I'd like to do is to add validation rules, modify form parameters, insert new requests, etc. If so, are there any current documentation on that   Would there be documentation later on (if not ready now) Although I understand that WebTe ...Show All

• Chris Dodd Exclude File Types from Source Control

  In the "Add to Source Control" dialog, there is an exclude text box which lists "*.pdb;*.obj;*.dll;*.exe;*.res;*.resources" by default.

  I've been thinking a little bit about what it would take to support a single centralized TFS configuration for an environment like my current workplace, and there's one thing I'm curious about. Our environment really wouldn't be too taxing in general: Around 150 users (tops, and that only in a few months), and projects are generally not too big. However, the thing that I'm curious about is how the number of Team projects might affect performan ...Show All
