We have again listened to Your valuable input on what new features there should be on TFS Bug Item Synchronizer. So keep these coming in towards us through our support.

We are now almost done with the next TFS Bug Item Synchronizer version.

Here’ some of the highlights on what will be in it:

• Support for multiple TFS servers, mainly due to getting ready for TFS2010 version but current TFS2008 and TFS2005 will also benefit from this
• Support for QC10 with version control enabled for requirements
• Added possibility to combine fields from QC into TFS field. This is implemented so that QC field is left as undefined and default value for field contains QC fields in following format (this is from requirement): #RQ_REQ_ID# #RQ_REQ_NAME# RequirementType #RQ_TYPE_ID#. So this can include fields which are replaced when updating and also fixed values
• New UI for setting properties:

• Makes now possible to define Related workitems in Quality Center requirement and defect. This works by adding new field in QC – Related Items – in which related workitems are listed like ‘1919,1918,1817’. During next synchronization these are then linked to found workitems on TFS side
• Valuemapping added also for Destination Workitem Type, which is used to select workitem type that is created from Quality Center item
• Added possibility to copy value from another QC field based on valuemap
• Include attachments –option is now project specific feature

Timetable for getting this out is by end of January 2010.
