It is clear that Visual Studio Team System is the future of development from
Microsoft's perspective. We agree. Development is no longer a personal pursuit
by one developer in a darkened room; it is a collective effort by a team of
peers. VSTS supports this broader vision by providing a complete collaboration
platform for the entire project team. VSTS takes a services-oriented approach
leveraging Windows Sharepoint Services and SQL Server Business Intelligence
Suite. Additionally, VSTS brings the lifecycle to life by making it part of
the integrated suite.
This book will guide you through the entire breadth of VSTS. If you are a stakeholder,
you have a portal that gives you instant access to project documents, status,
and performance indicators. If you are primarily a project manager, you will
learn how create, manage, and assess the team performance. As VSTS is integrated
with MS Office, you can quickly assign tasks and gather work status. With reporting
from the data warehouse you get real-time view of all project metrics. If you
are a developer, you will learn how to write higher-quality code, ensure that
the code works, and that it performs well.
For those seeking to use test-driven development, VSTS is the tool for you.
If you're an architect, there is a new set of domain-specific modeling tools
that makes it easy to visualize systems, determine application relationships,
and deploy into a logical datacenter. For testers, Microsoft's new suite of
test tools provides a powerful web testing environment with virtually unlimited
extensibility. In addition, the new load tools allow you to perform world-class
scalability testing.
Even if you are just considering adopting VSTS, you will be provided with a
comprehensive overview. Further, you will be able to deep-dive into any area
with detailed descriptions, samples and walk-throughs. Roll up your sleeves
and get ready for a new way of developing solutions!
