V-Model® XT Generator

UPDATED RELEASE: Version 1.0.1 (Jun 06, 2008)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:18:50 GMT

Release 1.0.1 is our second full release of V-Modell® XT Generator including sources and a demo of a generated V-Modell® XT TFS Template.

This release contains differnt ZIP packages for the different possible usage scenarios Level 1-3.

We have added full support for TFS2008 including a valid SharePoint (WSS3.0) Template as well as a VS2008 compatible Linker. There are no further restrictions using TFS2008 with the current release 1.0.1. Additionally we made a few fixes: See a list of all fixes in "README Release 1.0.1.txt".

The Linker utility is now based on TFS 2008 Client bits. If you still use TFS2005 CLient please use linker from release 1.0. Template generator as well as templates both work on TFS2005.

Level1: You can just go ahead and download pregenerated V-Modell XT Process Template and use it right away in a TFS environment. Please have a very close look to Prerequisites before starting.
After Instantiating the V-Modell® XT Team Project be sure to use the TFSLinker utility delivered with the release. The Linker stablishes intensive linking between "Entscheidungspunkt", "Aktivität" and "Produkt" Work Items and delivers core value for out-of-the box usage of the instantiated Team Project.

You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) (begin with slide 18) and the following ZIP files:
TFS Process Template AGAN.zip
vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip

You have to install the WSS Template (see Quickstart) and then you can right away upload the process template you find in TFS Process Template AGAN.zip. After sucessfully instantiating a project use the Linker in vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip to enable tracability Links in your new project.

Level2: You can get the fully functional generator and transform your tailored V-Modell® XT into a valid Team System Process Template, afterwards you just go ahead an instantiate it like a Level1 usage. Be sure to look into DOC\Readme before starting.

You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) and the following ZIP files:
vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip
scaffolding-v1.0.1.zip

You don't need the ZIP: TFS Process Template AGAN.zip because this is the one you will be generating.
Please follow the detailed instructions in the Quickstart Guide.

Additionally we deliver a release that includes Process Template Merging. Be aware that using the process template merge functionality will break V-Modell® XT conformity. If you need conformity you will have to get it through a assessment. More details see V-Modell XT website. Loosing conformity has nothing to do with the generator itself, this warning is due to the fact that merging in further process elements may break existing conformity if you do this without a clear understanding and with strict knowledge about the process change you affect.

If you want to use the process merging functionality please download the file vmxt2tfs-merge-v1.0.1.zip instead of vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip!

Level3: You can get the generator source code and change it for your specific requirements. We highly suggest, that you discuss your ideas with us beforehand, perhaps what you need is already in or in work.

You will need the following ZIP files:
vmxt2tfs-src-v1.0.1.zip
collabxtTFS-src-v1.0.1.zip

Please follow instructions in README files!

Microsofts V-Modell® XT to Team Foundation Server Process Template Generator

Project Description

The “CollabXT for TFS” Project offers a generic way for transforming a V-Modell® XT Process into a valid Team Foundation Server Process Template . Therefore the project offers a generator to automate this step and a few tools to enable additional Visual Studio Team Foundation Server features like Work Item Linking. The initial release also offers the possibility to enrich the high level V-Modell® XT process with other more detailed micro process elements. This will really add value to the V-Modell® XT and will enable to implement best practice methodology into V-Modell® XT process model.

Related Technologies an Topics: V-Modell, V-Modell XT, Team System, Visual Studio Team System, Visual Studio Team System 2008, Visual Studio Team System 2005, Team Foundation Server, TFS, .NET, Process Template, SCRUM, MSF, ZÜHLKE, Microsoft, TU München, ZFS, Process Automation.

The Generator was developed in cooperation between the following partners:

How to start:

The CollabXT V-Modell® XT generator project can be used by yourself in three different usage levels:

Level1: You can just go ahead and download pregenerated V-Modell® XT Process Template and use it right away in a TFS environment. Please have a very close look to Prerequisites before starting.
After Instantiating the V-Modell® XT Team Project be sure to use the TFSLinker utility delivered with the release. The Linker establishes intensive linking between "Entscheidungspunkt", "Aktivität" and "Produkt" Work Items and delivers core value for out-of-the box usage of the instantiated Team Project.

Level2: You can get the fully functional generator and transform your tailored V-Modell® XT into a valid Team System Process Template, afterwards you just go ahead an instantiate it like a Level1 usage. Be sure to look into DOC\Readme before starting.

Level3: You can get the generator source code and change it for your specific requirements. We highly suggest, that you discuss your ideas with us beforehand, perhaps what you need is already included or in work.

Release 1.0.1 bits

RELEASED: Version 1.0.1 (Jun 06, 2008)

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:03:29 GMT

Release 1.0.1 is our second full release of V-Modell® XT Generator including sources and a demo of a generated V-Modell® XT TFS Template.

This release contains differnt ZIP packages for the different possible usage scenarios Level 1-3.

We have added full support for TFS2008 including a valid SharePoint (WSS3.0) Template as well as a VS2008 compatible Linker. There are no further restrictions using TFS2008 with the current release 1.0.1. Additionally we made a few fixes: See a list of all fixes in "README Release 1.0.1.txt".

The Linker utility is now based on TFS 2008 Client bits. If you still use TFS2005 CLient please use linker from release 1.0. Template generator as well as templates both work on TFS2005.

*Level1:* You can just go ahead and download pregenerated V-Modell XT Process Template and use it right away in a TFS environment. Please have a very close look to [Prerequisites] before starting.
After Instantiating the V-Modell® XT Team Project be sure to use the TFSLinker utility delivered with the release. The Linker stablishes intensive linking between "Entscheidungspunkt", "Aktivität" and "Produkt" Work Items and delivers core value for out-of-the box usage of the instantiated Team Project.

*You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) (begin with slide 18) and the following ZIP files:*
TFS Process Template AGAN.zip
vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip

You have to install the WSS Template (see Quickstart) and then you can right away upload the process template you find in TFS Process Template AGAN.zip. After sucessfully instantiating a project use the Linker in vmxt2tfs-v1.0.1.zip to enable tracability Links in your new project.

*Level2:* You can get the fully functional generator and transform your tailored V-Modell® XT into a valid Team System Process Template, afterwards you just go ahead an instantiate it like a Level1 usage. Be sure to look into DOC\Readme before starting.

*You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) and the following ZIP files:*

You don't need the ZIP: TFS Process Template AGAN.zip because this is the one you will be generating.
Please follow the detailed instructions in the Quickstart Guide.

Additionally we deliver a *release that includes Process Template Merging*. Be aware that using the process template merge functionality will break V-Modell® XT conformity. If you need conformity you will have to get it through a assessment. More details see V-Modell XT website. Loosing conformity has nothing to do with the generator itself, this warning is due to the fact that merging in further process elements may break existing conformity if you do this without a clear understanding and with strict knowledge about the process change you affect.

UPDATED RELEASE: Release 1.0 (Nov 16, 2007)

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:52:54 GMT

Release 1.0 is our initial fully ready release of V-Modell® XT Generator including sources and a demo of a generated V-Modell® XT TFS Template.

This release contains differnt ZIP packages for the different possible usage scenarios Level 1-3.

*Level1:* You can just go ahead and download pregenerated V-Modell XT Process Template and use it right away in a TFS environment. Please have a very close look to [Prerequisites] before starting.
After Instantiating the V-Modell® XT Team Project be sure to use the TFSLinker utility delivered with the release. The Linker stablishes intensive linking between "Entscheidungspunkt", "Aktivität" and "Produkt" Work Items and delivers core value for out-of-the box usage of the instantiated Team Project.

*You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) (begin with slide 18) and the following ZIP files:*
TFS Process Template AGAN.zip
vmxt2tfs-v1.0.0.zip

You have to install the WSS Template (see Quickstart) and then you can right away upload the process template you find in TFS Process Template AGAN.zip. After sucessfully instantiating a project use the Linker in vmxt2tfs-v1.0.0.zip to enable tracability Links in your new project.

*Level2:* You can get the fully functional generator and transform your tailored V-Modell XT into a valid Team System Process Template, afterwards you just go ahead an instantiate it like a Level1 usage. Be sure to look into DOC\Readme before starting.

*You will only need Quickstart Guide (PPTX) and the following ZIP files:*
vmxt2tfs-v1.0.0.zip
scaffolding-v1.0.0.zip

You don't need the ZIP: TFS Process Template AGAN.zip because this is the one you will be generating.
Please follow the detailed instructions in the Quickstart Guide.

*Level3:* You can get the generator source code and change it for your specific requirements. We highly suggest, that you discuss your ideas with us beforehand, perhaps what you need is already in or in work.

*You will need the following ZIP files:*
vmxt2tfs-src-v1.0.0.zip
collabxtTFS-src-v1.0.0.zip

Please follow instructions in README files.
