• pehaada Can I disable Deployment?

  Deployment seems to be a great idea, and will go a long way in providing a robust testing environment. But in a TDD environment where developers are running tests very often it is not very practical.

• Jo?ko Associating data with a test - selected records

  Is there a way to select what rows are used on a data driven test I made the mistake of connecting to a table witn 10,000 records! Yes, you should be able to use a view for data-driven unit tests. With SQL Server 2005, at least (I tried this on the Express edition), views should appear in the dropdown for the Data Table Name property (they may actually appear twice, due to a known bug, but both copies will work).

• NimbusSoftware .vsmdi file with large number of tests and testers

  Our QA team (~50 people) have been adding, organizing and running test cases in VSTS for weeks now. Since the number of test cases is pretty big (~5000+ manual) they always have problems with the .vsmdi file. Every time they create a new test case the .vsmdi is checked out automatically by VSTF because test solution is under source control. In most cases several test cases are created and added to lists by different testers at the same time, ...Show All
