Team System Web Access for Bug Tracking

Posted in team foundation server by Sydney du Plooy on August 15, 2008

If you are looking for a neat customizable bug tracking system that integrates smoothly with Team Foundation Server, then Team System Web Access is for you! What makes it very nice in particular is that there are no extra licensing costs to use this for bug tracking. The licensing scheme was extended to accommodate this specific scenario.

There is one caveat with this approach though. It is very easy to move outside the bounds of this licensing agreement and therefore Microsoft is planning a new power tool codenamed “TFS Bug Submission Portal Power Tool” that will ensure the proper use within the licensing framework.

From the link above the power tool will allow the user to create new work items, edit and view the work items created by the user. The user cannot see work items created by others, list, view, edit, or run work item queries nor can the user add, edit, or remove work item links (except attachments or hyperlinks),  access documents, access reports, access source control or access team build.
