Rally Integration with Visual Studio

[joao.pedroso.1]

Hi!

Anyone knows if is there any kind of integration with Visual Studio? Something where developers could link their User Stories / Tasks with generated code / changeset? Makes sense? Exists something like that?

Thanks!

Hi Joao.

We offer a list of IDE connectors. They are listed here.  Take a look. Let us know if it's helping.

Thanks,
Sagi

Hi Sagi.

I appreciatte your response, but in fact I am not looking for something paid, like de Tasktop options, especially nowadays.

Thank you anyway.

Thanks for clarifying Joao.

I thought you were asking about Rally's connectors to Visual Studio. What then did you mean?

Thanks,
Sagi

Hi Joao,
Actually, the connector is provided by Tasktop,  but it's free to users.  You can find the details and download it here.
Hope this meets your needs.

Hi Cali,

Is this connector still valid? Does it work with latest versions of visual studio code? I am trying to use this connector but it shows an error when I try to install it.

VSCode and Visual Studio have very little in common. That may be why you're getting the error "This extension is not installable on any currently installed products."

On the Tasktop page https://docs.tasktop.com/dev/tasktop-dev-for-rally-for-visual-studio-install-instructions they very clearly show screenshots of Visual Studio only, not VSCode.  I could be wrong but I think this means it is not intended for VSCode usage.
