What's new in version 2.0.0.0

 

Custom forms and controls can be configured to appear as part of the standard workitem form with in the Visual Studio Environment. Most of the integration operations can now be performed from these new controls.

The version 1 integration relied on a floating interface dialog to support it’s link creation and management operations. Version 2 makes use of the embedded controls for most link management operations. Because of this, the version 1 interface was replaced with a new floating menu which is used mainly for performing Synchronize and Linking operations on multiple workitems or DOORS objects.

New workitems of type ‘Task’ can be generated from DOORS objects. This can be used to initially populate your projects or quickly add and link new requirement initiated tasks to existing projects.

When links of DoorsLinkType are edited, a custom form is provided to allow integraton operations on a single link level. Viewing imported attributes, synchronizing , and navigation are available from this single form.

Workitem custom link attributes are not available for reporting in a standard configuration. TFS DOORS works around this problem by providing a new workitem type ‘Doors Proxy’ where the imported data from DOORS is stored. Since this is a form of workitem type it’s data fields can be included in standard queries.
