After two years, the Microsoft Scrum template for TFS is maintained.  You can read all info on Brian Harry's blog : http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2009/06/10/the-future-of-escrum.aspx

When you have queued a build and at the end you got following error :

TF214007: No build was found with the URI vstfs:///Build/Build/<Build Number>. Either the URI does not exist, or <domain\user> does not have permission to access it.

This error doesn't tell you a lot.  During the build, you can open the build window

Sometimes the link to the log file is availlable, but not always.  When it's availlable and you click on it to open, you got the message that the file isn't found.  You will also see that no files are copied to the droplocation, but everything (including the log file) is availlable in the build directory.

You will also see that the Build Definition isn't availlable. You can open it during the build, but that's all.

Mostly this happens when a build partially succeeded?

So be sure to check that all the permissions are set correctly (tfsservice account needs write permissions).  If this is OK, you also could check the retention policies.  Mostly you will see that the retention for Partly succeeded builds is set to "Keep none". In this case as soon as the build is finished and patially succeeded, everything will be thrown away.  And this even before the copy to the droplocation is done.

If your are looking for the Scrum template of Conchango, well read their announcement about the template : http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/archive/2009/05/19/scrum-for-team-system-v3-0-plans.aspx

TSWA was always available as separte toolkit.  Since VSTS 2010, TSWA is installed by default as a part of TFS.  You can connect to it by adding "/web" at the end of the TFS URL.  So you got following URL:

   http://<your servername>:8080/tfs/web

Be aware, TSWA is always installed on the application tier.

When you install the beta 1, there are some installation issues.  I will provide here a list of other blogs where you could find more info about the installation.

A new Typemock add-in is released: Typemock Racer 1.0.  using the Typemock Racer, you could do a parallel inspection on your multithreaded code.  Mailny, you can use it for finding and recreate deadlocks.  You create your code the same way as a unittest, but put the attribute [ParallelInspection]above your test.

After a long wait, it's announced by Soma Somasegar on his blog.

Together with framework 4.0 you can download it from the MSDN subscriber site.  And you can give your feedback.

More info on the product page.

Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never been this easy.

Typemock is launching a new product for ASP.NET developers – the ASP.NET Bundle - and for the launch will be giving out FREE licenses to bloggers and their readers.

The ASP.NET Bundle is the ultimate ASP.NET unit testing solution, and offers both Typemock Isolator, a unit test tool and Ivonna, the Isolator add-on for ASP.NET unit testing, for a bargain price.

Typemock Isolator is a leading .NET unit testing tool (C# and VB.NET) for many ‘hard to test’ technologies such as SharePoint, ASP.NET, MVC, WCF, WPF, Silverlight and more. Note that for unit testing Silverlight there is an open source Isolator add-on called SilverUnit.

The first 60 bloggers who will blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Free Isolator ASP.NET Bundle license (Typemock Isolator + Ivonna). If you post this in an ASP.NET dedicated blog, you'll get a license automatically (even if more than 60 submit) during the first week of this announcement.

Also 8 bloggers will get an additional 2 licenses (each) to give away to their readers / friends.

Go ahead, click the following link for more information on how to get your free license.

This morning I run across a new blog post on the IE blog (written by Dean Hachamovitch - General Manager, IE) about things you didn't know you can do with IE8.  I must say I did know most of them already, but if you're new to IE 8, this is a good starting point.  especially the part of Sessionstorage and how to open 2 webmail accounts at the same time.
