Apress - Pro Visual Studio Team System

Software development is undergoing a huge revolution right now. That is not to say that this is different from any other time in the history of software development—it is always undergoing a revolution of one type or another. This “new” revolution is a shift in development methodologies from teams working in tightly knit groups in geographical proximity to a global development strategy. Software development teams are now faced with communicating with each other from half a world away.

This book talks about how to perform this work effectively using the new Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) product. This book covers all areas of VSTS, from the basics to tips and tricks to make it easier to use. Because of our work with the development team at Microsoft, we have been able to include several undocumented features and describe some of the thought processes involved in developing various portions of VSTS. In addition, as architects in a Fortune 500 company, we have a unique experience in starting to implement VSTS in an enterprise environment.

The book is organized into five parts.
Part 1: Team Foundation
Part 2: Team Edition for Software Architects
Part 3: Team Edition for Software Developers
Part 4: Team Edition for Software Testers
Part 5: Team Edition for Database Professionals
