Description

Seeking a Programmer Analyst for TFS2010 support for and a number of its features and functionality. Some of the key features currently utilized are source code management, defect tracking, and test case documentation. The company is currently tracking a significantly large amount of defects ad test cases for a CIS consolidation project. That project is requesting numerous reports, customizations, and enhancements to track these test cases.

The work can be group into 3 categories:
1) Maintain and enhance custom reporting application:
We are using Microsoft Test Manager to capture the test data and test cases for a very large project. We began utilizing the existing TFS warehouse to provide reports for the project. The project soon began requiring very detailed test step statistics and MTM metadata that we could not easily obtain from the warehouse. A custom application utilizing the TFS APIs was created in order to satisfy the reporting requirements. The application delivers several reports but there are a number of requests outstanding. We are looking for a contractor to continue to enhance and maintain the applications.

2) WIT Customization:
We have customized the BUG to create 2 distinct Work Items in TFS 2010. The project has frequent requests to update fields, workflow, states, etc. We are looking for a resource to process, test, and implemented these customizations to the WIT.

3) Assessment of the analysis needs and recommendations for improvement:
As mentioned above we are tracking a significantly large amount of defects and test cases for a CIS consolidation project. The project is looking to enhance, Review our MTM and TFS setup/configuration and identify and scope potential changes that will increase Test Team productivity and effectiveness. This would be a very focused proactive assessment based on input from the project team that would apply to the application of MTM and TFS to our Test Methodology. The resources would assess the projects use of the test cases and bugs to determine recommendations and additional configurations. Review the Reporting Metrics tool that was developed (see #1) and recommend any refinements in the test case/step reporting based on feedback from project management. Assist the test team to tackle the problem of understanding how to become aware of status changes in Work Items that are tied to Bugs/Test Cases to be able to take action on the Bug and/or Test case based on the status change of the work item. Currently this is a manual, labor intensive activity
