It is the fall conference season, which means that this blog may be brought to you from a different geographical location every week. This week I had the privilege of speaking at All Things Open<\/a>, and a chance to visit our Raleigh, NC office for the first time ever. Are you participating in any fun events this fall?<\/p>\n

To mix things up, this week’s newsletter is featuring a few videos, but we will start with some blogs.<\/p>\n

Azure DevOps Migration Tools<\/a>
\nAzure DevOps Migration Tools is a community project building tools that allow you to migrate Teams, Backlogs, Tasks, Test Cases, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps \/ TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. It’s been very useful to people in this community who are working with large organizations. The new version v8.3.0 came out a few days ago! It supports restarting the migration, and migrating work items between Team Projects. Huge thanks to all the project contributors!<\/p>\n

Azure DevOps \u2013 how to package a simple DLL?<\/a>
\nMany organizations are starting to move towards internal open source, but the most common way of sharing code across the organization is still via shared libraries. This post from Antti K. Koskela shows a YAML pipeline for building a NuGet package and pushing it to a NuGet feed. Needless to say, the package feed could be hosted on Azure Artifacts. Thank you, Antti!<\/p>\n

Tasktop Integration Hub – ServiceNow to Azure DevOps<\/a>
\nIn many cases, software development bottlenecks are caused by process and communication issues, rather than technical challenges. Tasktop is a product that helps integrate enterprise software delivery tools with operations management tools. This short video features an integration between Service Now and Azure DevOps using Tasktop. The Tasktop Integration Hub provides a two-way sync between Service Now and Work Items in Azure Boards, automatically synchronize IDs, progress statuses, comments, attachments, and other information. So much less process overhead!<\/p>\n

Fortify on Demand – New Azure DevOps Features and Functionality<\/a>
\nApplication security is the top of mind for tech leads and executives alike. Fortify on Demand is a Micro Focus product that offers application security as a service, providing a range of security assessments. This video walks through the integration between Azure DevOps and Fortify on Demand (FOD), kicking off an FOD scan from an Azure Pipeline and verifying that the FOD policy was met before the Build can pass.<\/p>\n

Three things to keep in mind when using Azure DevOps Pipelines<\/a>
\nWhen introducing team members to new technical tools, we often focus on step by step instructions and forget the bigger picture. This video from Matthew Shiroma at Nebulaworks dives into three important concepts for setting up Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery using Azure Pipelines – variable scopes, CI\/CD triggers, and Task Groups. Thanks for a great conceptual overview, Matthew!<\/p>\n
