Hi,

I would like to integrate the new process model in VSTS, which already exists in my organization named as Pbook.

How can I integrate Pbook with VSTS without customizing the given two process (Agile and CMMi )

Well I can edit the XML file after downloading it and then will upload it but it is the customization process. I don’t want to do this, because this will work fine for work item and basic configuration setting, all the process guidelines may not fulfill (which is defined in Pbook process model).

like, i want to use Pbook manual test templete while creating new manual test in Tester edition.

I want to do the fresh start. Is there any process template tool where I can create the new process model Also let me know can we do this

Kindly suggest how can I proceed.

Regards,

Amol Puri.

You have Process Template Editor in gotDotNet, take a look at it:

The latest version is:PTE0.9.2263.536

Hi Amol

even so it's nice to start up from zero it is not suggested to do this for the creation of process templates. It is very hard to debug a process template, therefore you should only change small pieces at one time. Then you should do an upload of the template and test your change.

The process template editor already helps a lot especially for visualization but it won't help you to debug the process template.

Chris Menegay explains the basic steps of process template customization in his vido "Customizing Process with VSTS" on http://teamsystemrocks.com/tutorials/
.

If you like to change the template of the manual test you might want to look at Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\1033\ManualTestWordFormat.zip In that particular zip you can find the template for the manual test. The same thing is true for the ...\ManualTestTextFormat.zip. I haven't tried to change those templates yet, but this might be a good starting point to search for a solution.

Pls let me know if you manage to change the manual test templates for your process.
