Hi!

My project has taken over a rather large VB.NET application (one solution 42 projects) that builds two windows clients, 6 windows services and one asp.net app.

We use VS2010 Ultimate for dev environment. We use TFS 2008, and I think they plan to upgrade to 2010 within a few months.

The problem is that they have no test cases what so ever. We are quite frankly not really sure how they have done QA before, but I think they wrote some manual test cases on A4 papers they had, then executed those tests, then threw them away... What we need to do now is set up a baseline of test cases. First of all manual tests, then in step two we will start to develop test cases that can be automated.

Is there anythin in TFS or VS2010 we can use to put all test cases in, because right now we have no tools at all for developers and testers to use. We need some place we can define test plans, test cases, and report back on test cases passed/failed and if additional bugs where found during ad-hoc testing, the testers should be able to report them and somehow link them to a system module, say "Reporting" if bug was found in that module.

Our test leader need some kind of dashboard view to quickly see testing progress, how many test have passed, faulted and how many new bugs have been found.

We would like to use MS tools if possible.

what are your thoughts, suggestions? I relaise we have a steep mountain to climb...
