I just install a new copy of Azure DevOps Server (TFS) to my own computer.
the only work items I can use right now are: "Epic", "Issue" & "Task".
Now my Question is:
How can I add the work items "User Story", "feature"& "Bug"?
Thanks any help will be appreciated.
Because when you created the team project you chose Basic process template, you need to choose Agile/Scrum/CMMI.
Try to create a new project with Agile/Scrum/CMMI process template.
See here more info.
Agree with Shayki Abramczyk.
How can I add the work items "User Story", "feature"& "Bug"?
We could create work item via Agile process, then we could add work items User Story, Feature and Bug.
If you still want to use Basic Process template and your TFS version is Azure DevOps Server 2019 or later versions. You could create collection via Inheritance process model, then open Collection Settings->Process->select Inheritance process->click the button New work item type to add new work item type.
If you are using On-premises XML process model, you could refer to this doc to add work item type.
I am trying to set up the VS controller on a virtual machine, but it is giving me an error.
I have specified the lab account on the Configure Test Controller, but when I try to apply settings it is showing the error below.
Since you have not configured lab service account, make sure
a) test agent can communicate with the test controller,
b) test controller and test agent can access the build drop location, and
c) Microsoft Test Manager can connect to the test controller during manual test runs. Manual steps might be needed to setup the permissions mentioned above
Both users that I am using, are local admin, on the TFS server and also on the machine that I have installed the VS controller.

Can you someone help on this?
Tks in advance.
I am trying to set up a system where I can run selenium automated test from MTM.
The issue I am facing is I am not able to configure Test Controller successfully. I believe this is due to some permission issue. Below is the set up I am using
The error I am getting while clicking on Apply Settings is below

The log states that I need Edit collection-level information. I believe this is at the default collection level and I am afraid I will not get this persmission as this is something similar to super admin where I can have the power to delete/modify an existing project in the collection.
I believe this should not be provided to all the testers as this might lead to some accidental damages to the project.
Please correct me if I am wrong and advice as what I need to do next to make sure I am able to configure the test test controller successfully.
Thanks a lot for your help on this.
Your assumption regarding Edit collection-level information permission is wrong. It's not super admin. Please read https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252587.aspx carefully.
Just ask your TFS admin
to add your account to project collection's Project Collection Test Service Accounts group or
to tell you an existing service account used for this purpose.
I am getting an error while configuring test controller:
Failed to configure team project collection.
I have tried to look all question and answered posted on this blog but could not find one exact answer for resolution.
I am using my windows local user credentials and password.
I am very new to the whole team server foundation thing and I was hoping that you guys could point me in the right direction.
I have managed to successfully import a project from Microsoft Project 2010 into my VS 2010 tfs. Everything so far works great.
I was just wondering if it is possible to have a task that was completed by a developer to send a notification and assign a testing task to the tester.
In other words:
The developer completed his / her task.
The developer updates the task in TFS to “Completed”
The task gets assigned to the tester for testing.
Notification goes to tester of new task he / she must test.
Is this possible or must I manually assign the developers completed task to the tester for testing?. Or is it possible to set TFS up to automatically do this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
You can update the rule engine behind the work items. But how do you know the tester? I see two solutions.
Create a new field which has the tester in it. When the state is set to resolved the value of that field is copied to the AssignedTo.
Don't use the name of the tester but change the activity to Test when the state is changed to resolved.
In either way you can setup the work item alerts to get notified.
