Connecting to Team System Database

Applies to TestComplete 15.63, last modified on April 10, 2024

On the Team System Settings page of the Connection Wizard, you specify parameters needed to connect to the Team System issue-tracking database:

  • In the URL or the host name text box, enter the URL of the page that specifies the location of Team System's database or the name of your Team Foundation Server.

    If you want to connect to Team Foundation Server 2010–2018, specify the server name in the URL format: http://server_name:port/path, where

    • server_name is the name of the server.

    • port is the number of the port used by the Team Foundation Server (by default, 8080).

    • path is the path to the team project collections stored on the server (by default, tfs).

    For example, you can specify the server name as http://tfs2012:8080/tfs.

    If you want to connect to an earlier version of the Team Foundation Server, specify just the server name, for example, tfs2008.

    You can click the ellipsis button in the URL edit box and select the needed server from the Select Server dialog.

  • In the Login and Password text boxes, enter the user account and password that TestComplete will use to connect and work in Team System.

    Note: The Login field must not contain a domain.

    If the computer where the Team Foundation Server is running and the computer where TestComplete is running do not belong to the same domain, use a Team Foundation Server computer’s local account to connect to Team System.

If you are not sure which values to specify, ask your system administrator.

Once you set up all connection parameters, click Next. TestComplete will test the connection.

Known Issue

If Visual Studio 2012 or earlier is installed on your computer, you may get the following error when connecting to your Team Foundation Version Control repository:

The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

To resolve the problem, install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 on your computer. You can download the packages from the Microsoft web site:
