Work Item Integration

[germano-silva]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Fortress from Vault and I am now trying to figure out how to best use Fortress, especially when it comes to assigning bugs to developers. Is it possible to for example assign a task to a developer, once that developer start coding have the checked-in code linked to the task as well as when we start testing and reprt bugs, have the bugs automatically assigned to whatever developer was assigned the task.

Thanks

have the checked-in code linked to the task

That happens after the task or bug is reported. Then as code is checked in, the developer will enter the bug or task to log it against. It's part of the check-in dialog.

have the bugs automatically assigned to whatever developer was assigned the task

You can assign developers to cover particular categories, so that when one creates a task or bug for a certain category, it's automatically assigned to that developer.

I don't see anything in the Check-In dialog to enter a work item number. I'm using the standlone fortress client

Never mind, I did see it in the fortress client, but we don't see it in Visual Studio 2005. Should it also be available there?

That option is available when you are using the Enhance Client in VS. In VS - Tools - Options - Source Control you can see what it's set for. If you decide to switch, ask for instructions first rather than just changing the setting.
