Do you Use Scrum?
84% of agile projects use Scrum
► In a fixed chunk of time (2 or 4 weeks)
– Sprint Planning
– Sprint
• Daily Stand Ups
– Sprint Review
– Sprint Retrospective

Future Thinking. Immediate Results.
Agenda
► Project Managers
– Project Dashboard
– TFS is the source of truth
► Developers
– Rich Web
– Continuous Integration
– Debugging
► Testers
– Go from a manual testing to
a functional testing
– Focus on UX
Project Managers
www.ssw.com.au/8Steps
There are 3 kinds of project managers…
The Manager from Detroit
► Emails
► Word docs on C:\
► Sticky Notes
► Spreadsheets on C:\
The Manager from Chicago
► Excel + MS Project
on fileshare
► Manually updates
Excel + MS project
► Constantly asking
devs for updates
► Calls a lot of adhoc
meetings
The Manager from Trump Tower
► During sprint- Project Dashboard

Daily - Stories Overview Report
Automated http://rules.ssw.com.au/Management/Ru
lesToBetterScrumUsingTFS/Pages/setup-2-key-reports.aspx
► Excel + MS Project Integration
► Task Board (Physical or Electronic)
► Have the team replying “Done” on each
task or story
► Have the testers testing on the “Done”
of each story
► Wiki
► Fixed 2 week sprint
► Uses TFS and SharePoint as a single
source of truth
Problems
The common problems that project managers face in their development life cycle
Moving from Harlem to Trump Tower
#1 Problem - Communicate and be visible
► Do you have a war room?
► This is going to be where all the action happens
What’s missing?
The Roadmap
Do you have a war room?
► Mockups
► Product Roadmap
► Definition of Done
► Task Board
► SSW Scrum Image
► http://rules.ssw.com.au/Management/RulesToBet
terScrumUsingTFS/Pages/WarRoom.aspx
#2 Problem – How do you manage tasks?
How do you keep track of tasks?
Email
Sticky notes
Some list
– Excel
– Word
Solution: Enter the tasks into TFS
► Excel
► Visual Studio
► MS Project
► Web Access
► Third Party Tools
– TeamCompanion*
– Telerik TeamPulse
– SSW SmashingBarrier
With TFS 2010, in regards to
“companies
that were using work
items, 90% of their use was in
Excel or the Visual Studio UI
”
Adam Cogan
Marlon
Marlon
John
MS Project Integration
MS Project 2007
MS Project 2010
Project Server 2010 Integration
Then in MS Project
► Organise the user stories
► Plan resources
► Add costs
Project automatically worked
out the best way to schedule
these tasks between the
developers
TFS vNext
► New TFS Web Access
– Built in MVC
– Metro UI
“
Once the next version of TFS is
released (say TFS 2012), then I predict
users will quickly discover the web UI
is the richest experience. Then we will
see 90% of web item use will be in the
browser
”
Adam Cogan
Drag and drop
reprioritizing
Drag PBI into sprint to
assign it
Burndown
Quickly break down PBIs
into tasks
Capacity Planning
(aka Who’s not pulling
their weight)
Drag and drop to change
state
#2 Problem - How do you know where the project is at?
How do you report progress?
Ask the developers
– “We’re 90% done”
► Or Schedule these two reports
– http://rules.ssw.com.au/Management/RulesToBette
rScrumUsingTFS/Pages/set-up-2-key-reports.aspx
► Or Dashboards
– Excel Services
– Reporting Services
Reporting Services Reports
http://rules.ssw.com.au/Management/RulesToBetterProjectManagement/
Pages/FindOutWhereTheProjectAt.aspx
Excel Web Services
► Allows customization of built in Excel
reports
► Allows you to upload new reports to your
portal
Do you use Project Server 2010?
How long will it take?
Project Blowouts
#3 Problem - Get your timesheets in!
Our office manager Ulys sends this
every Friday
Developers check in and update hours in TFS
Timesheets are already done (just need to
Send Timesheet)
#4 Problem – Where do you keep project related
files?
Where do you keep project related files?
Word Doc on C:\
Email
Working papers - Filing cabinet
SharePoint
www.ssw.com.au/ssw/standards/rules/rules
tobetterprojectmanagementwithtfs.aspx#
WikiOrDocLibrary
Solution: TFS Project Portal (SharePoint)
► Documents
– Requirements/Specifications
– Mockups
– Additional Information
► Server settings
– Username/Password
SharePoint Wiki
► Allows collaboration from Developers,
Project Managers and other stakeholders
► Quickly store important details:
–
–
–
–
Server details (Dev, Test, Production)
Usernames/Passwords for testing accounts
Change logs
Upcoming features
Developers also get quick access to docs
from Visual Studio 2010
#5 Problem - Communicate and be visible
► How do you know when your developer is
“Done”?
There are 3 levels of “Done” emails (missing
from Scrum)
1. Sending a “Done” email
2. Sending a “Done” email + screenshots +
code
3. Sending a “Done” email + video + code
1. http://screencast.com/t/ps17fqsV

story?
► Acceptance Criteria

Q:\ Do you know how to improve your
Javascript and CSS?
► A:\ CoffeeScript, SASS or Less
► It’s the C# or VB.NET equivalent of writing for IL
► Abstractions for JavaScript and CSS
► Reduce lines of code
► Make JS & CSS manageable
How do I get it?
► Extension Manager
► http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2b
96d16a-c986-4501-8f97-8008f9db141a
CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript:
outer = 1
changeNumbers = ->
inner = -1
outer = 10
inner = changeNumbers()
Javascript:
(function() {
var changeNumbers, inner,
outer;
outer = 1;
changeNumbers = function() {
var inner;
inner = -1;
return outer = 10;
};
inner = changeNumbers();
}).call(this);
http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/
SASS
► Syntactially Awesome StyleSheets
SASS – Giving you structure to CSS
SASS:
CSS:
#navbar {
width: 80%;
height: 23px;
ul { list-style-type: none;
}
li {
float: left;
a { font-weight: bold; }
}
}
#navbar {
width: 80%;
height: 23px;
}
#navbar ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
#navbar li {
float: left;
}
#navbar li a {
font-weight: bold;
}
SASS
► Also does:
– Variables
– Mixins (CSS class inheritance)
– Selector Inheritance
http://sass-lang.com/
LESS
Less – Variables & Functions for CSS
@the-border: 1px;
@base-color: #111;
@red:
#842210;
.header {
background-color: @red;
border-left: @the-border;
border-right: @the-border * 2;
}
.footer {
color: @base-color + #003300;
border-color: desaturate(@red, 10%);
}
LESS
► Does not compile on save
► Supported by Javascript less.js
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href=“teched">
<script src="less.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Do you use HTML5?
Why write legacy?
Why HTML5?

Development lifecycle
We have built our
code
Q: We are now ready
to give it to testers.
Right?
Bad test
Good test
Development lifecycle
We have built our code
Wrong. We are now ready to give it to testers
The first thing you should be doing is to
create unit tests on fragile code
http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/Standards/Rules/
RulesToBetterUnitTests.aspx#RegEx
Why create automated tests?
► No resource needed
► Quicker feedback
► Tools are more
reliable
► Test on multiple
operating systems
and configurations
with Lab manager
► Testers can
concentrate on
usability
Types of tests
► Smoke testing
► Unit tests?
► Integration testing
► Functional testing
► Load testing
Web Tests
► Basic web URL testing
► Able to post forms and check returned
content
► Cannot interact with web page (e.g. AJAX)
01
Web Test + Load Test
► Checks the main pages load correctly
► Can test every page (e.g. Products)
► Can simulate some load
– Note: Limited to about 100 test users per computer
before the network fails, run on many computers to
simulate more users
– Load Test Feature Pack http://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/gg701769.aspx
Coded UI Tests
► Can test win forms and web forms
► Imitates a physical user interacting with an
application
► Can interact with webpage (e.g. AJAX)
► Test IE and FireFox
02
Javascript Unit Tests with QUnit
► http://docs.jquery.com/QUnit/
function calculateSalesTaxWithRounding (amount) {
return amount * 0.1;
}
$(document).ready(function () {
test("Calculate Sales Tax Test 2", function () {
var expected = 10;
var actual = calculateSalesTaxWithRounding(9.08);
equal(actual, expected, "We expect actual to be " + expected);
});
