Dynamic calculation of field values in TFS 2010

If you are here because you might want to ask TFS 2010 to auto-update some fields (such as remaining work vs. completed work), then you’re lucky because of there is a TFS Aggregator plugin:

Download link : here 

This server-side plugin let TFS does such things. Some of its nice features:

  • Update the state of a Bug, PBI (or any parent) to "In Progress" when a child gets moved to "In Progress"
  • Update the state of a Bug, PBI (or any parent) to "Done" when all children get moved to "Done" or "Removed"
  • Update the "Work Remaining" on a Bug, PBI, etc with the sum of all the Task's "Work Remaining".
  • Update the "Work Remaining" on a Sprint with the sum of all the "Work Remaining" of its grandchildren (i.e. tasks of the PBIs and Bugs in the Sprint).
  • Sum up totals on a single work item (ie Dev Estimate + Test Estimate = Total Estimate)

OK that’s it. Please visit the site for more info.

Happily working on Sunday.
