The test migration of our TFS 2008 went extremely well (the import command processed nearly 7GB of data from our TFS 2008) in less than half hour, and all running in my notebook (not some kickass server...). Today I executed the script published by Hakan Eskici to upgrate the process template from v4.2 to v5, by simply running a BET file. The process is very simple and fast, and after that we now have the updated process template with all the TFS 2010 goodies enabled. Check out the process and download the script from http://blogs.msdn.com/hakane/archive/2009/10/19/sample-script-to-enable-new-features-in-upgraded-team-projects-tfs-2010-beta2.aspx After the upgrade I created a new TASK and found the new "Original estimate" field, and...

I was fiddling around with the typemock API, see what it would belike to use it in a more MOQ like manner: to support this, all the code you need, including the Faker class exists here . you’d need to reference the typemock dll and the typemock c# API dll to make it work.

Few minutes ago, I saw @mShady , my dear friend (Real life friend, not just on twitter ) tweeting: RT @ASGEgypt : RT @scrum_coach : Should the team be allowed to drop the retrospective? http://bit.ly/bkOgv   #scrum #agile #lean #xp #kanban I checked the post and found the options are: Yes, It’s their process why not? No, explain to them and work through why the retrospective is so important. Maybe, if they are no longer a team then why continue with Scrum? Only do retrospectives once a quarter and build up a good list of things to change. Yes, the process will take care of itself we don’t need to watch it that closely. After all it’s common sense! Interesting question! Not the most important topic in Scrum but like the way Agile works in...

A unit of work is any functional scenario in the system that contains logic. it can be as short as a function, or it can span multiple classes and functions, and it provides internal or business value to the system under test.
