Model-Based Testing with Spec Explorer announcements
-
Link
Hello! We are delighted to announce the newest version of Spec Explorer 2010, Release 3.5.
Spec Explorer 2010 Release 3.5 contains new features, improved documentation, plus over 60 bug fixes. Please consult the Release Notes and our Home Page to access this release.
This release contains new / enhanced features including:
· Model change detecting: The model change detecting feature detects all model changes and decides if Spec Explorer needs to re-explore the model. For specific machines, if Spec Explorer detects any change in the model code, cord script files, or other inputs, or detects a tool version change, Spec Explorer will start a new exploration; otherwise, Spec Explorer will use existing exploration result files for current exploration viewing, test code generation, and user customized post processing. The UI has been updated to allow you to force Spec Explorer to re-explore the machines. This feature greatly improves the user experience by preventing unneeded lengthy validation and exploration events, which frequently happened in previous versions.
· Multiple machine processing: Now you can select multiple machines in Exploration Manager and explore, generate test code, or perform post processing tasks on them. For multiple machine processing, Spec Explorer generates a summary including all information of the batch-processing.
· Cord context menu: Spec Explorer adds a new context menu item “Go To Definition” in the Cord editor, which enables users to navigate to specific configurations and machines. This is part of an ongoing effort to improve the Cord editing user experience and the general integration of the tool with Visual Studio.
We hope you enjoy this release and look forward to hearing feedback from the Spec Explorer community.

For those of you who haven't noticed, we're moving the Multimap Developer Forums over to Bing Community. This is in an effort to consolidate all Bing Developer projects into one place for all guidance, help, information, blogs, etc. For now, the threads that are here on MSDN will remain on MSDN - we'll move them over soon. For new threads on Bing Maps, please begin posting them to Bing Community. In addition to moving the forums to Bing Community, we've broken the forums up by API so if you're developing for a specific topic - AJAX, Siverlight, etc. - you can select the forum of interest as follows:
On behalf of the Bing Maps Team, we look forward to seeing your conversations moved over to Bing Community and thanks for using Bing!

NOTE: This was originally posted on the Multimap Blog - http://blog.multimap.com/2010/11/19/important-news-about-the-multimap-open-api/
The first post on this blog was the announcement of the Multimap Open API .
In the 3½ years that have passed, the Open API has attracted a passionate group of developers building some great apps, especially based around our Ordnance Survey and Collins Bartholomew maps.
It is therefore fitting that one of the last posts on this blog also concerns important news about the Multimap Open API.You may have seen earlier that we announced we are about to complete the movement of users from Multimap.com to Bing Maps . A number of you have asked on the forum whether this affects the Open API. We now have the last bits in place to provide you with a full reply.
To better serve you and all of our customers, our future investments will now focus solely on Bing Maps APIs and on closing any major feature gaps between Bing and Multimap. This will enable us to accelerate delivering you more mapping and location-based services innovation through one platform, across web and mobile.
Therefore, the Multimap Open API service will be discontinued on November 18th, 2011.
To prepare for this change, we will soon discontinue the registration of new Open API keys. Existing keys will continue to operate until the switch off.
We understand that this will be disappointing news for Open API developers, but there is a silver lining to this particular cloud…
Our colleagues at Bing Maps have just released a major update to the Bing Maps AJAX control . In addition to major improvements in performance, mobile support and imagery, the Bing Maps AJAX map control now includes support for Ordnance Survey and Collins Bartholomew maps .
Our commitment: We’re here to help . We have developed migration guides for both the AJAX map control and the REST web services to help get started with your planning process. The Bing Maps Developer Resources site , Bing Maps on MSDN , the Bing Community forums and the Bing Maps blog are also great resources.
From everyone at Multimap, thank you to all Open API developers for your support over the past 3½ years, and we hope to see you build some great new apps on Bing Maps. -

Hi everyone,
We've talked with some people experiencing problems when trying to install the MSF-Agile+SDL v5.0 process template. We believe these problems are a result of an incompatibility with certain configurations of Sharepoint, and we are working to correct the issue for the next release of the MSF-Agile+SDL template. In the meantime, you should be able to work around the problem by following these instructions to disable the Sharepoint features of the template:
- Uninstall the template if you've already installed it.
- Reinstall the template files, and uncheck the Additional Sharepoint Components feature during the installation process.
- Using your XML editor of choice, open the file <template install dir>\Process Template\Windows SharePoint Services\wsstasks.xml.
- Near the bottom of the file, you will see the lines:
<!--TfsDashboardSDLAgile -->
<feature featureId="3F6F501A-5DFF-4359-8ED8-232784DFF47E" />
5. Comment out the second line, ie:
<!--TfsDashboardSDLAgile -->
<!-- <feature featureId="3F6F501A-5DFF-4359-8ED8-232784DFF47E" /> -->
6. Save the file and close
7. Open the Process Template Manager in Visual Studio
8. Delete the existing "MSF for Agile Software Development plus Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) v5.0" process template.
9. Upload the process template again, browse for <template install dir>\Process Template\process template.xml.
10. Close the Process Template Manager.
You should now be able to create MSF-A+SDL projects. If you're experiencing the install bug, please let us know if this helps workaround the problem (or if it doesn't).
Thanks,
Bryan

I have had the pleasure over the past few months to spend some time playing with an early rendition of " Elevation of Privilege: The Threat Modeling Game". According to Adam, "Elevation of Privilege is the easiest way to get started threat modeling". I couldn't agree more. If you have a team that is new to the whole process of threat modeling, you will want to check it out. If you are at RSA this week, drop by the Microsoft booth and pick the game up for free. If you aren't, you can download it here.
EoP is a card game for 3-6 players. The deck contains 74 playing cards in 6 suits: one suit for each of the STRIDE threats (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of Service and Elevation of Privilege). Each card has a more specific threat on it. You can see a short video on how to play and some more information about the game by checking our Adam's post here. In the end, it is a game that makes it possible to have more fun when thinking about threats. And that's a good thing.
Even more impressive is that they have released the game under Creative Commons Attribution license which gives you freedom to share, adapt and remix the game. So you if you feel you can improve up this, step up and let everyone know!!
Congratulations to the SDL team for creating an innovative way to approach the concept of threat modeling. -

Please give the beta a download and check it out if you have open bugs. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll send it back up the chain within Microsoft!
Happy threat modeling!
