Yesterday the ALM Rangers released a new guidance project, this time around how to use IntelliTrace to enable better developer-operation scenarios. I’ve had the opportunity to work in this project and I recommend you take a look at what the team has put together. IntelliTrace can be difficult to get started with but these guides should help get the concepts right and get started in a good way.

I’ve worked on a couple of hands-on labs to walk you through setting up IntelliTrace, capturing IntelliTrace logs in production- and test environments and finally analyzing the IntelliTrace logs in Visual Studio.

• The Epics included in the guidance are:
  • As Bill, the ALM Ranger, I would love practical and exciting DevOps & IntelliTrace Posters.
  • As Abu the Build Master, I would like practical guidance on how to to configure my TFS Build server to support IntelliTrace.
  • As Doris, the Developer, I would like practical guidance to resolve a bug in DevOps using IntelliTrace.
  • As Jane, the Infrastructure specialist, I would like practical guidance to implement IntelliTrace in DevOps.

• The guidance includes the following artefacts:

  • Cheatsheet – Build Master DevOps and IntelliTrace Checklist
  • Cheatsheet – IntelliTrace Cheat Sheet
  • Cheatsheet – Ops view of DevOps and IntelliTrace
  • Hands-on Lab – Build (Symbols Configuration & Build)
  • Hands-on Lab – Dev (Client Side No Symbols Found Resolution)
  • Hands-on Lab – Ops (Collection for WPF Rich Client)
  • Poster – Encountering IntelliTrace technology in DevOps
  • Poster – Resolving bugs in DevOps with the help of IntelliTrace
  • Quick Reference Guide – Developer view of DevOps and IntelliTrace
