How to debug and test with other member before deliver code to stream
Hi all,

Yes, you can set the deliver precondition on a specific stream, by creating a separate team area to own that stream.
Or you can have one team member accept the completed changes of another team member directly from that other team members workspace, do the testing/debugging of the combined code, and then deliver the result.
If you want the functionality of a "public repository workspace", you would use a stream.

Hi Geoffrey,
Team areas are cheap, so I wouldn't avoid creating new ones. To avoid the hassle of managing all the team members, just make the sharing team area a child of the primary team area for that project. Also, we can see if anyone else on the forum has a better idea (:-).
I agree with Geoff. The best approach would be to have a feature stream that is used for integration. You could use a repository workspace for integration. The developers can accept completed change sets from work items to get the changes of the other developers, but I find that clumbsy.
It would be possible to create custom preconditions that check for a specific stream and then call the builtin preconditions. I think it is way cheaper and easier to use Geoff's approach.
