TestComplete GIT VSTS

How can one utilize the GIT feature to hook into VSTS servers or even github? It seems as if the feature is creating a local repository. How can you hook it into a cloud based repository, if not then I can just use SourceTree

  • Hello Louis,



    Thank you for your post, please know that there are a couple ways of accomplishing this.



    - Using the "Fast Edit" under Defects, you would select "Update multiple items"

    - At the "Update Field 1" select "Update Field: Status" and at the "To Value: Closed"

    - At the "Update Field 2" select "Update Field: Resolution" and at the "To Value: Closed as obsolete by Louis per discussion during last week's meeting"

    - Please watch the following quick video I created for you: http://screencast.com/t/2S2vt26jx



    However Louis you can also add a custom field instead of using the "Resolution". Please see the steps and video below.



    - Under "Defects" click on the "Actions" drop down and select "Manage Custom Fields"

    - Add a new custom field, for example "Defect Closing Notes/Reason" with the "Field Type: Text" and the "Field Size: 100"

    - "Submit" the changes and return to the listing

    - Under Defects click on "Fast Edit" and select "Update multiple items"

    - At the "Update Field 1" select "Update Field: Status" and at the "To Value: Closed"

    - At the "Update Field 2" select your new custom field "Update Field: Defect Closing Notes/Reason" and at the "To Value: Closed as obsolete by Louis per discussion during last week's meeting"

  • Currently, TC only supports local repositories, it doesn't check in/check out of the cloud.  For example, I use bitbucket for my own development process.  I have Mercurial HG installed on my local workstation to handle the repository stuff.  So, I can check in/check out of my local.... then I need to synch up to the cloud manually outside of TestComplete.
