• simon mcinnes Is it possible to use internal data as a Data Source for data driven tests?

• zerodipesh Suggestion: add rule/warning for use of weak security algorithms?

  It might be worth adding a rule which checks for the System.Security.Cryptography namespace use of MD5 and weaker, and maybe SHA1 hashes (HashAlgorithm), and DES, TripleDES and weaker encryption (SymmetricAlgorithm), with a recommendation to use SHA256, or higher, and Rijndael [AES] instead. See the following article, which apparently reports on Microsoft internal guidelines.    http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759 ...Show All

• bhan What does MS use for Requirements Management?

  I know that Microsoft is dogfooding VSTS, but what are you using for requirements management I have seen on these forums multiple posts about Caliber RM for Team System and most say that if you are really serious about requirements, you won't use VSTS alone. I highly doubt MS is using Caliber for their requirements management, but I guess pigs do fly from time to time. When VSTS was used to build VSTS, did you just use scenarios to capture the r ...Show All

  If one were to [inadvertently] delete a file from the Team System Project Portal, how would one get it back J I tend to agree with Dave's comment about the need for an alternative that isn't as drastic as a backup and restore.
