add TFS area parameter to TFS synchronization plugin configuration
General 58 votes · 0 commentsImagine a TFS project with multiple TFS teams (development of a product line with a shared code base - see ALM Rangers).

Allow linking and display of pictures (*.jpg, etc) from TFS repository similar to Gherkins
General 48 votes · 0 commentsWhen building a Feature tree of living documentation, beside the Gherkins the UI mockups should be also merged to reflect the current status of the system. It would be great to manage them together the same way and at the same place. Pictures could be stored in the TFS directory/sub-directory where Gherkin files are stored. When linking a Picture to a User Story, the picture is displayed within SpecLog (same as when attaching). History of UI mockups is also maintained this way and large pictures do not overstress the SpecLog database. -

Generalunder review· 42 votes · 2 commentsTo be able to communicate progress and re-negotiate scope using story maps, it may help to convey DONE state of items visually. E.g. by placing a small green traffic light on the card. To avoid excessive tagging we recommend mapping to your ALM state 'Done' which would be quite generic if you provide a simple mapping table per item type. This feature might be coupled with sister request on reporting test stability, but not necessarily mixed into same indication.
