As we’ve seen, once Operations send to Engineering issues, they are just Team Foundation Server’s Work Items.
This specific Work Item Type is tailored on the need of explaining a production incident, probably a bug, so it features several useful information out-of-the-box. It’s tied to the AVICode informations, and the most important thing here is the state:
After we acknowledge we are on the Issue itself, we have a broad range of states to be set: this is essential for organizations with a structured process (think about ITIL).
Apart from that, it’s a standard WIT, so there is not so much to say on the Engineering side. Hey, we are who were already working with Team Foundation Server! ![]()
There is an IntelliTrace file too, as mentioned. In the next post we are going to see how to better capture all the information we need.
