In Detail

Team Foundation Server allows you to manage code repositories, build processes, test infrastructure, and deploy labs, all while easily collaborating and reporting status. Team Foundation Server supports your team, enabling you to connect, collaborate, and deliver on time. Microsoft s approach to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides a flexible and agile environment that adapts to the needs of your team, removes barriers between roles, and streamlines processes so that you can focus on delivering high quality software faster and more efficiently. In a world where software development is increasingly critical to business success, the ALM principles embodied by Team Foundation Server are more relevant than ever.

The main goal of this book is to educate software development teams to the capabilities of Team Foundation Server 2015 that make the job of delivering quality software easier, faster, and more fun.

The book begins with an introduction to creating and setting up team projects for scrum teams. From there, you ll explore various source control repositories, branching, and merging activities along with a demonstration of how to embed quality into every code check-in. As you progress further, you ll discover agile project planning and management tools that enable you to plan, track, and report on your product backlogs and sprints.

The examples covered in this book show you how to advance from continuous integration to continuous deployment and delivery of software. In the latter half of the book, emphasis is given to testing and release management features of TFS that facilitate the automation of the release pipeline to create potentially shippable increments, sprint over sprint. In the final chapters, you ll learn to extend and customize TFS plugins to incorporate them into other platforms and enable teams to manage the software life cycle effectively.
