visual studio 2010 - Can TFS2010 be set up locally in order to use Test Manager but still tie into work items, bugs, & source code residing in a remote TFS2008 instance? -


We currently use TFS2008 for our source control, bug tracking, and functions. The TFS2008 server is located in the remote data center. Locally, we have Visual Studio 2010 Developer Machines installed on one of the methods to install TFS2010 so that we can run Test Manager, but still tie into items and source code working on Remote 2008 instances / databases?

Yes, no more.

First of all - you can not connect the work items with two examples of TFS. You can not connect between two team collections on the same Sharepoint server if you do not really need it or you If you can upgrade your TFS 2008 to 2010, stop reading. Yes - If you are a local TFS 2010 example you can setup a sync between work items and the source control of the TFS 2008 box. Note that this will be difficult because TFS 2008 probably uses MSF Playful 4.2 templates and you have an MSF AGV 5.0 template on your local TFS 2010. You have to set up mapping between work item types and for this, the zero mapping work item type that is not present in the box of 2008 (test case is one)

To do this, you will be able to do TFStoTFS Migration comes with the tool, but you will need to setup mapping. If you have two identical TFS boxes, this is not required, but you should be able to synchronize both work items and source controls to keep attachments and links in place.

Then you can check and the items related to work will be sent to your local TFS 2010, which will again sync that change in the remote TFS 2008 box.

Use only if there is no check in the remote box! You have to solve the opposition on the server that you use to sync if you do so as if you were checking.
