Buenas,

as long that not writing anything new on Visual Studio 11, now I give a review to

Microsoft Feedback Client

It seems to me that there will be one or two posts on the subject so create you its corresponding TAG in the blog.

But first thing first, what is this? As well it a tool to manage the feedback from members of a team to level application on the usability or functionality thereof (something like the stakeholders). Usually they are usually end users who develop this role, but it can also open to new horizons. The good thing about this approach is that we can quickly validate that the application we are developing is not very different from the idea that they have in mind our stakeholders, etc. etc. etc. We will tell the roll of the advantage of iterations short and close to the Customer if you want, but I guess you already know.

MFC (Microsoft Feedback Client, not the other MFC) allows these users to provide its opinion thereon. This tool can be used in two ways: on a voluntary basis, i.e. without anyone request us opinion can comment on an application; or from an application, which is when requested us that we think about an application.

The first scenario is very simple, we are looking for and we launched the application and first thing we will see is that it does not request to connect to Team Foundation Server 11.

Once selected the Team Project, we will see that the application opens in SideBar mode to allow us to interact with other applications without interfering with them. It is also possible to put the application in "floating" mode so that it is not dockeada to the desktop.

As we launched the application without a request, we will see in the same "voluntary feedback mode" orvoluntary mode .

If what we want is to request the feedback of an implementation of one or more specific stakeholders, we can do so from the Team Project portal. Select the option "Request Feedback" in it and we will be able to start this process.

In the picture below you can see the form where begins the process of request for feedback

Once this process of request, send an email to the person or group of persons with the necessary information to launch a session of MFC. The mail that arrives is similar to the following:

As the link to launch the application requires special permissions, so first thing we will see is a Security Warning.

If the stakeholder does not have the tool, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28984

Once launched the application, already we can see how joins the stakeholder the information I request

Well, tomorrow more about the use of the application itself. Only today left us with
