Prioritizing development artifacts is a common and important practice, regardless of the development methodology you use. TestTrack allows you to quickly rank items in a folder to establish a priority or order of execution among artifacts. This video provides an overview of how to rank items in TestTrack 2011 and later.

StumbleUponTestTrack’s cumulative flow chart and folder task board reports group items in a selected folder into Not Started, In Progress, Done, and Accepted categories. At first glance, you may think the categories are related to an item’s workflow state, but they are not.

You can view the new and old values for each change made to an item on the History tab. Enhanced email change notifications can now highlight exactly what changed, even if it’s only a couple words in a long description field or a simple priority change.

This is a console application, so you can create a batch file and use Windows Scheduler to run it at pre-determined times. The application is written in C# using the .NET framework version 3.5. The email is sent using the System.Net.Mail namespace, specifically, the SmtpClient class. If you’re not sure whether this will work in your environment, you can find more information here.
