Users can configure alerts for various projects, work item, and build event notifications. Although you can specify the SMTP server during Team Foundation Server installation, you might want to change the STMP server later. Similarly, if you to change the application pool service account by using the TFSAdminUtil Change Account command, you must manually change the sender account e-mail address to the new service account's e-mail address.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> Cheers <img alt="" src="http://www.iotap.com/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/Fck/FCKeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_up.gif" />,<br />  Mahesh R<font face="Arial"> </font></font></p> <p>&#160<a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/39/Enabling-Email-Functionality-in-the-Team-System-Web-Access-TSWA.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/39/Enabling-Email-Functionality-in-the-Team-System-Web-Access-TSWA.aspx VSTS - Testing mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/39/Enabling-Email-Functionality-in-the-Team-System-Web-Access-TSWA.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/39/Enabling-Email-Functionality-in-the-Team-System-Web-Access-TSWA.aspx Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:37:00 GMT 0 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=39 A test strategy is a planning document that provides the overall direction for the software testing needs of a project. Developing a test strategy is about setting direction and resolving high-level testing questions. The value of the test strategy isn’t in the wording, the writing, or the format of the strategy; the value is in planning an approach for testing.<a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/38/What-are-Test-Strategy-Test-Approach-and-Test-method.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/38/What-are-Test-Strategy-Test-Approach-and-Test-method.aspx Quality Assurance & Quality Control mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/38/What-are-Test-Strategy-Test-Approach-and-Test-method.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/38/What-are-Test-Strategy-Test-Approach-and-Test-method.aspx Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:52:00 GMT 0 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=38 <p> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12" /> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12" /></p> <p> <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_filelist.xml" /> <link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_themedata.thmx" /> <link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_colorschememapping.xml" /><font size="3" face="Arial"><strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt">Equivalence partitioning:</span></strong></font></p><a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/95/Equivalence-partitioning-and-Boundary-Value-Analysis.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/95/Equivalence-partitioning-and-Boundary-Value-Analysis.aspx Quality Assurance & Quality Control mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/95/Equivalence-partitioning-and-Boundary-Value-Analysis.aspx Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:28:00 GMT http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=95 <p> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Generator" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Originator" /> <link href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /> <link href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData" /> <link href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\jnehal\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping" /></p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves /> <w:TrackFormatting /> <w:PunctuationKerning /> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas /<a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/35/Smoke-Testing-Vs-Sanity-Testing.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/35/Smoke-Testing-Vs-Sanity-Testing.aspx Quality Assurance & Quality Control mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/35/Smoke-Testing-Vs-Sanity-Testing.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/35/Smoke-Testing-Vs-Sanity-Testing.aspx Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:25:00 GMT 0 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=35 <p style="" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A framework that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of a project. It minimizes risk by developing software in short amounts of time. A development accomplished in one unit of time (generally up to four weeks) is called iteration. Each iteration is a project with analysis, design, coding, testing and also documentation all the required functionality may not be covered in one iteration for releasing the project. But it will be covered in multiple iterations. The idea is to have a defect free release available at the end of each iteration. </span></font></p><a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/31/What-is-Agile-methodology.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/31/What-is-Agile-methodology.aspx mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/31/What-is-Agile-methodology.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/31/What-is-Agile-methodology.aspx Tue, 19 Aug 2008 10:06:00 GMT 2 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=31 <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">This blog clarifies that you can access Team Foundation Server project data through a web browser (Team System Web Access) to perform following features create, view, query and track work items, manage the build process and document libraries and no need to install visual studio client on each one machine.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Cheers <img alt="" src="http://www.iotap.com/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/Fck/FCKeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_up.gif" />,<br /> Mahesh R<font face="Arial"> </font>  </font></p><a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/19/Team-System-Web-Access-2008.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/19/Team-System-Web-Access-2008.aspx VSTS - Testing mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/19/Team-System-Web-Access-2008.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/19/Team-System-Web-Access-2008.aspx Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:57:00 GMT 0 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=19 <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Following Metrics will be used to assess the project health.</font></div><a href=http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/12/Quality-Metrics.aspx>More...</a> http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/12/Quality-Metrics.aspx Quality Assurance & Quality Control mrajagopal@iotap.com http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/12/Quality-Metrics.aspx#Comments http://web.iotap.com/Blogs/tabid/277/EntryId/12/Quality-Metrics.aspx Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:39:00 GMT 0 http://web.iotap.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=12
