As time passes, it is time again to release a new version of this popular tool.

Biggest change this time is internal: TFS Bug Item Synchronizer is getting new internal database.

Previous one had couple of issues that especially big installations are suffering from. These are things like

Fragmentation. As time goes by, database gets fragmented to to defragment database file takes time. On some cases this was taking 30-60 minutes which is quite a lot when it is done at DBService startup. File size. Database file size was on some cases growing quite a lot, especially if defragmentation was not run on regular intervals. So to fix these, we had to change internal database and it actually gives some more possibilities as well, but those are coming a bit later on.

Upgrade from version 2.4 and below old database to new need to be done extra carefully, all needed steps are already documented in the Release Notes...

Next major version of popular TFS Bug Item Synchronizer for Quality Center is now released.

TFS Bug Item Synchronizer is an tool which allows testing and development teams to work together using tools built for their usage. Testers enter defects in Quality Center and when defect is created and updated into TFS, developer can fix it, link all changes to it and mark it as fixed. After this the tester will continue process on Quality Center side to verify the fix. Similar to this developer can create a work item and have it synchronized over to Quality Center for testers to verify the fix.

With this tool it is possible to synchronize both Quality Center Defects and Requirements with TFS work items.

Testers will only need to use Quality Center and developers TFS, no need to have both applications on both teams as this tool works totally on the server side.

This version supports

Quality Center 11.0 Patch 1 Quality Center 10.0 Quality Center 9.2  Quality Center...
