Summary 694

OVER THE PAST DECADE, Microsoft has been creating development tools that have been designed for the ever-growing engineering teams of software developers, testers, architects, project managers, designers, and database administrators In the Visual Studio 2012 line of products, there are tools for each team member to use to contribute to a software release However, it’s not enough to allow for awesome individual contributions You must also organize the collaboration of those contributions across the larger team, including the stakeholders for whom the software is being built

Beginning in the Visual Studio 2005 release, Microsoft introduced a new server product named Team Foundation Server to complement its development products Now in its fourth release, Team Foundation Server 2012 has grown with all of the investment from the past decade and fi ts nicely

in the Visual Studio application lifecycle management (ALM) family of products Before the Visual

Studio 2010 release, the Visual Studio ALM family of products was given the brand of Visual Studio Team System, which is no longer used in the latest releases

As you will fi nd out, Team Foundation Server is a very large product with lots of features for aging the software development lifecycle of software projects and releases The authors of this book collectively gathered from their past experience since the fi rst release of Team Foundation Server

man-to document some of the tips and tricks that they have learned along the way The backgrounds of the authors are quite diverse—managing one of the largest Team Foundation Server environments, designing the collaboration pieces for non-.NET development teams, evangelizing the Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server products, managing releases at a software development company, and

a consulting background where customers are helped each week to solve real-world challenges by taking advantage of Team Foundation Server

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

If you have been looking to Team Foundation Server to meet some of your software development team’s challenges for collaboration, then this book is for you You may have seen the Team Foundation Server product in your MSDN subscription and decided to set up a new environment internally You may now be wondering how to administer and confi gure the product You may have also noticed the new, hosted Team Foundation Service offering by Microsoft and wondered where to get started

This book is for everyone ranging from the developer using Team Foundation Server for day-to-day development, to the administrator who is ensuring that the environment is tuned to run well and build extensions to the product to meet the needs of their software development team You may also

be preparing for any of the new Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Microsoft certifi cation exams for administering or using Team Foundation Server, and you will fi nd many of the exam top-ics covered in this book

This book does not require any knowledge of Team Foundation Server to be useful, but it is not meant for developers or testers who are just starting out their craft Team Foundation Server can be

www.it-ebooks.info

used for teams as small as one to fi ve team members to teams consisting of tens of thousands Code

samples in the book are presented in C#, but they could also be implemented in other NET

lan-guages (such as Visual Basic.NET)

You can fi nd a road map for the book based on your team role later in this “Introduction” under the

section named “How This Book Is Structured.”

WHAT THIS BOOK COVERS

This book covers a complete overview of the Team Foundation Server 2010 product and provides

hands-on examples for using the product throughout many of the chapters This book only covers

the latest version of Team Foundation Server 2010 (including Service Pack 1 in some areas) and does

not expose the reader to how to use earlier versions of Team Foundation Server

The book is divided into fi ve main parts, with detailed chapters that will dive into each of the

fea-ture areas of Team Foundation Server 2010

Project Managers and Business Analysts

As a project manager or business analyst, you will want to ensure that you have insight into the

soft-ware release or project, and be able to interact You may also be interested in what customizations

are possible with the process that Team Foundation Server uses for your teams Project managers

might also be interested in the capability to synchronize project data in Team Foundation Server

with a Microsoft Offi ce Project Server instance Business analysts may want to create and track

requirements, including the traceability options from inception to implementation Additionally,

project managers and business analysts may want to learn how to seek feedback from customers

and stakeholders and turn that feedback into new requirements, change requests, or product

backlog items

You might begin by reading Chapter 4, “Connecting to Team Foundation Server,” to get started

with exploring the different options available for connecting to your server All of the features that

would be relevant for project managers and business analysts are discussed in Part III of the book:

INTRODUCTION

Additionally, the two main blogs and RSS feeds we would recommend to you following for all of the latest news and updates are listed below as well

CONTINUOUS PRODUCT UPDATES AND RELEASE SCHEDULE

The one main thing to learn from Microsoft going forward for the Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server products is that the product teams will be shipping updates more frequently — roughly every three months These updates will include a roll-up of performance and bug fi xes as well as new features that are completed For those that will be using the hosted Team Foundation Service, new updates and features are automatically deployed every three weeks

The main thing to remember is that you will want to make sure you are always up to date on both your development machine where Visual Studio products are installed and also your Team Foundation Server environment servers This book was written for the released version and includes some content and features included in the fi rst quarterly update
