CREATED ISSUE: updating the 2 fields should be done in one transaction

jleonov — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:07:13 GMT

when you look at the history - you see 2 updates:
one for the completed work and one for the remaining.
Those 2 fields should be updated together.

COMMENTED ISSUE: Manual update of Remaining Work

Handleman — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:17:58 GMT

Automatically decrementing the Remaining Work field is a poor assumption that the estimate is accurate from the very beginning. It would be idea if the user was prompted on a stop event for the current estimate of Remaining Work.

If somebody really found it valuable to automatically decrement the remaining work, this dialog could have a check box to automatically decrement, and to "not show this dialog again". This would be more useful if the remaining work is being used as a budget. It might be useful to give popup alerts in this case when they are getting near the estimated time.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Handleman **

In our case we'll probably leave the work remaining field being auto-decremented by this app, but add a "budget" field to the work item which is the original estimate/budget - mostly for historical purposes.

But I agree that there should be warnings to the developer if the work remaining is zero or near zero and require a re-estimate of the work remaining.

CREATED ISSUE: Streamline build detail retrieval

BruceJohnson — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 21:02:47 GMT

At the moment, all of the build details for a build are retrieved as part of the build polling process. It would be nice of only the most recent build information could be requested from TFS.

CREATED FEATURE: Retrieve build results through systray icon

BruceJohnson — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 21:01:30 GMT

It would be useful if the current results of the build could be retrieved through a context menu assocated with the build notification icon.

CLOSED FEATURE: Display status of builds

BruceJohnson — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 21:00:12 GMT

Along with tracking time, it would be useful if the TimeTracker application also tracked the status of certain builds. A visual representation of the build's status is placed into the systray.

Implements build watching notification. An icon is added to the systray for each build that is being watched. Different icons represents whether the build is successful, failed or in process.

Added support to log into a TFS server that is not in the current domain. The credentials are stored in the app.config, which should be encrypted as part of the installation of the application.

VSTS Time Entry

This is a System Tray application that connects to your TFS Project and allows you to select a project, Query and Work Item. You can then hit Start which begins keeping track of the time you spend working on the selected Work Item.

Currently when the user hits Stop the application updates the Completed and Remaining Hours for that Task Work Item Type.

Some enhancements I would like to make given time.

Set the Project and Query off the right click on the system tray (similar to the Server)
Make the list of work items a long list so you can just click on the item to start timing. (Or perhaps a clock next to it)
Make the fields it updates configurable in case you have customized the WorkItem.
Configure the Work Item types that should show in the list. For now the Query can do that.
Make it an add in for VS
Add it as a control to the Work item field it self.

CREATED ISSUE: Prompt for Work Item History Comment on any updates

bgervin — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:26:59 GMT

Whenever you update a work item, it would be beneficial to prompt for a history comment. For example, if a work item has an estimate of 10 hours, and you complete 5 hours, when you stop the work, it would prompt for all this information, and a comment to explain what you did, and why the estimate & completed fields have changed the way they have.

CREATED ISSUE: Prompt for Estimate on Work Items

bgervin — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:25:42 GMT

If you are starting a work item that has a 0 remaining work estimate, then we should prompt them before they begin of the estimate.
