• arthaskucarr Why doesn't a 'failed' web test 'fail' a load test?

  I setup a simple web test and then added a validation rule on it that said to Fail the test if a certain error message occurred on the page. I ran the web test by itself an it 'failed' due to the error message showing up (I pre-setup the system to always show this error message). I then created a simple load test to run this web test in. I setup the load test to run for 1 minute -- once the load test ran it ran through 20 or so of my trans ...Show All

• ruerue Build machine is not reachable

  I'm having trouble getting a Team Build type to run.  The error message that I receive is "Build machine is not reachable". I have defined the Build Machine as 'teamfoundation' in my build type, which is the name of the Team Foundation server (creative, I know).  I've tried various combinations of this, including the IP address, the FQN, and I've tried all of these from remote machines and on the server itself. Everything appears to be ...Show All

• Steve-x Is there any integration between Team Foundation Server and Project Server 2003?

  Let's say you have an organization that has Project Server 2003 deployed.  Individuals use PWA to see and report on the tasks assigned to them on ALL projects that they are working.  The way I understand Team Foundation Server is that it creates a WSS site for EACH VS team project.  So if a person works on multiple projects he/she does he/she need to browse to multiple WSS sites in addition to PWA   Is there any way to integr ...Show All

  I have a relatively small team project--maybe 20 code files so far and a handful of project documents--yet the backup file for the STS_SPARE6_1 database (SPARE6 is the server name) is over 7GB. In addition, the TfsIntegration database backup file is around 1.5GB. This seems extremely disproportionate to the size of the project. Why is this Hi Larkin, One possibility could be that you have multiple backup sets ...Show All

• Vizun Baseless merge ?

  I've been told a couple of times to workaround problems with branching via a Baseless Merge.  Now I'm pretty sure I can guess what this does based on the name, but I can't find any way to accomplish this through the VS2005 UI. I've read all the docs I can find and I've searched google and all I've come up with is the command line option to do "h.exe merge /baseless" from MSDN and the reference from Buck's blog.
