Test Director Defect Mapping to VSTS Work Item

We need to be able to map Mercury Test Director defects into VSTS Work Items for developers to work...has anyone written a custom conversion utility?

Both applications have an interface that can be used from C#, so it will only be a matter of time. I envisage myself writing one for the company I'm working at at some point in the future, but that may be about 8 months away.

We are looking at a similiar solution...also have looked at using replication between SQL Server and Oracle...

We have implemented 1-way synchronizer from TD/QC to VSTS which could pretty easily be converted into 2-way.

Was not that hard and we will probably turn this into small utility for others as well.

Do you happen to have this utility availability? We are needing to have a two-way synchronization between TestDirector and Team Foundation Server.

Yes we have this now working as 2-way synchronization.

What it does, it simply takes out new defect from TD and copies data into TFS. Then when TFS status is changed, it will be copied over to TD (not to system status field, but other one).

Works quite nicely, does what it supposed to be doing and gives developers the freedom of doing their work where they should be and testers to work only with TD.

You can contanct me at ilpo_juvander@hotmail.com and I will give you some more info.

First beta version of this tool has just been sent out. Waiting for feedback on how it will be working.

For others who are interested on this, just contact me and I will give further information or see here: http://onroad.juvander.fi/community/forums/permalink/123/33/ShowThread.aspx#33.

After some finger trouble with configuring this utility I now have this synchronization up and working between TD 8.2 and TFS (two way). Things seems to work correctly so far even if running on a beta version of the Juvander software.

Some experiences
