Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server.
You create a new project using the default Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 template. You want to inform the product owner when a Product Backlog Item (PBI) is ready for testing.
You need to ensure that when the development of a PBI has been completed, the tester is able to change the state of the item to be Ready for Acceptance Testing. You need to achieve this goal without developing custom code.
What are two possible ways to accomplish this goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C,D 🗳️
To support your development team's upgrade from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2012, you also upgrade from Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 to TFS 2012.
You need to provide a TFS 2012 test environment that:
- Includes data and source code from your existing TFS 2010 environment and - Allows your developers to test the new TFS 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 features while keeping the current TFS 2010 environment intact.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
You are configuring a Team Foundation Server (TFS) Agent, which will execute an application on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
You log on to the Windows 7 desktop computer as the user who will execute the test. The test controller machine and the Windows 7 desktop computer are in the same domain.
You need to enable the TFS Agent to execute the application on the Windows 7 desktop computer.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Correct Answer: B,C 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for Actual4Labs members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 (TFS) server and several TFS 2012 build servers configured.
You need to ensure that developers compile their own code against the latest code before checking their changes into source control.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 (TFS) server. A single build machine is installed with one controller and two agents. The working directories are configured to use the following working directory:
$(SystemDrive)\Builds\$(BuildAgentId)\$(BuildDefinitionPath).
Your system drive is running out of space and some builds often fail with the following error:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
You need to meet the following requirements:
- Point the working path to drive D.
- Construct a working directory that can be used to define the shortest unique path for each build agent it is used on.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
