Editor's Notes
- Querying enhancements @CurrentIteration Share Personal queries (30 days) Text filters Templates The name of the templates will change from the verbose names that includes the version name (for example, "MSF for Agile Software Development 2013.4") to simply "Scrum", "Agile" and "CMMI". The templates are now locked, which means that you cannot make changes to the shipped templates. To create a custom process template based on a shipped template, simply export an existing template, give it a new name and version, and then reimport it by using the Process Template Manager. Existing projects are unaffected by this change, which means that they can continue to have their process customized by using witadmin.

- Intellitest. Intellitest is a way to automatically create unit tests from your code. You need Visual Studio Enterprise for this. Load Testing We are announcing new capability for running Cloud-based load tests as part of the new Build system. There are two parts: Cloud-based Load Test allows you to execute an existing Load test project as part of your CI/CD pipeline. Cloud-based Web Performance Test executes a simple load test against an App URL, with the basic load test parameters being configured in the task itself. Automated testing We are announcing new capabilities for running unit tests on the build machine, functional automation runs on remote machines, and browse test results as part of the new Build system. Read more details in this blog. There are now two test tasks: VSTest Task runs tests locally on the build machine, and typically, you'll run only unit tests with this task. VSTest Remote Task runs tests on remote machines in a distributed fashion by using test agents, and you can run either functional, unit tests or UI tests. Additionally, we are announcing a Machines hub, and a Runs tab in the Test hub. Machines hub. You'll use the Machines hub to create and manage remote machines. Runs tab. This tab in the Test hub acts as a a single repository for all test results in the system. You’ll not only be able to browse automated test results from VSTest and VSTestRemote tasks, but also from legacy workflows such as XAML Builds and Build- Deploy-Test workflows. Additionally, you can choose to integrate publishing test results into you custom tasks by leveraging REST APIs to publish Test Results. The ‘Runs’ hub today supports querying on test runs and test results, assigning owners to test failures, tracking their analysis, and filing bugs.
- The license model There are a few rather god changes in the license model, the biggest one is that if you are an acceptance tester running test from TFS Web Access you don’t need Visual Studio Test Professional any more, you just need a TFS CAL (client access license). Team Rooms and Chart Authoring are included in the TFS CAL. Visual Studio Ultimate and Premium will be merged to Visual Studio Enterprise Wiki A wiki is included as part of the Team Project, you use Markdown language to write your content and you can create and edit files directly from TFS Web access. It’s of course possible to edit any file the same way. Change project name It’s finally possible to change a projects name.
