SmartVisio4TFS (an Office plugin - part of SmartOffice4TFS)

SmartVisio4TFSTM, a Microsoft Visio plug-in, enables users to link and analyze Visio diagrams and models with TFS work items. Product owners, business analysts, developers, architects and process engineers can use Visio models to create new or link existing Work Items in one interface, SmartVisio4TFS provides users with time saving capabilities to perform state analysis, auto-detect usage scenarios, and automatically produce test cases and use cases with a click of a button

Benefits and Features

Define requirements in a connected manner by using a joint process in one system. Business analyst, process engineers and architects can use their existing and new Visio diagrams to connect to TFS and drill down on process flows, activity diagrams, use case diagrams and more. . .

Maintain Traceability between Visio elements and Work Items

Link Visio elements, including page, shapes and connectors, from UML models and other diagrams with work items on Team Foundation Server.

RAPID STATE VISUALIZATION

Visualize and review the working states of each requirement within Visio using color codes; enhancing the TFS capability of work item state identification. Each shape is colored based on the state of the linked work item.

AUTO DETECT USAGE SCENARIO

Amazingly, SmartVisio4TFSTM automatically identifies Usage Scenarios from diagrams like swim lane, flowchart, functional flow, activity and BPMN. These scenarios can be published to TFS as work items.

GENERATE USE CASE SCENARIOS

Generate use cases of the modeled diagram along with Basic, Alternate and Exception flow and publish them as a work item on team project

GENERATE TEST CASE SCENARIOS

Generate test case scenarios along with test steps for any modeled diagram and publish them on team project as a Test Case work item.
