TargetProcess now integrates with TFS

Just wanted to post that TargetProcess now finally integrates with TFS source control management! I can now check in my changes to TFS and update my User Stories/Tasks in TargetProcess from the checkin comments, like:

#1234 time:0.5 state:done comment:Foobar!

This is a huge, time saving WIN(!), since I don’t have to navigate within TargetProcess just for updating a task with time/state/++.

More details can be found in the documentation for integrating with TFS.

So want to attend: TDD Masterclass in the UK

Roy Osherove is giving an hands-on TDD Masterclass in the UK, September 21-25. Roy is author of "The Art of Unit Testing" (http://www.artofunittesting.com/), a leading tdd & unit testing book; he maintains a blog at http://iserializable.com (which amoung other things has critiqued tests written by Microsoft for asp.net MVC – check out the testreviews category) and has recently been on the Scott Hanselman podcast (http://bit.ly/psgYO) where he educated Scott on best practices in Unit Testing techniques. For a further insight into Roy’s style, be sure to also check out Roy’s talk at the recent Norwegian Developer’s Conference (http://bit.ly/NuJVa).

I’m currently reading Roy’s book now and it gives heck of a lot of good advise to a TDD novice like me when it comes to writing good and maintainable unit tests, and to have 5 days with this guy would be awesome to progress further in the TDD space :)
