Synchronizing Requirements
If you are using Team Foundation Server (TFS 2010) for both requirements capture and defect management, Enterprise Tester is fully integrated to support the synchronization of both requirements and issues. Enterprise Tester supports full bi-directional synchronization of requirements/work item with TFS. Key Features include:
- Configurable import filtering by: Type, Status, Priorities, Components, Affects Version(s) and Fix Version(s)and Priorities;
- Configurable Synchronization Schedules - Adhoc (manual), Periodic (set time interval) and Daily; and
- TFS work Item ID on the requirement in ET.
Creating your Project Link
Once the TFS connection has been created (see External Systems), you can begin associating projects in the defect tracker with projects in Enterprise Tester. Project links can be created and managed either from the Resources tab on your tree view navigator or on the External System Links tab.
External System Links Tab
From the Admin tab, Expand Extensions and double click on External Systems. From the External Systems summary grid, double click the External System you wish to create a link for. Then navigate to the Links tab. Click on Add from the tool bar.
