It is clear that Visual Studio Team System is the future of development
from Microsoft’s perspective. 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
life cycle to life by making it part of the integrated suite. 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, Pro Visual Studio Team System
with Team Edition for Database Professionals, Second Edition will
provide you with a comprehensive overview. Furthermore, you will be able
to dive deep into any area with detailed descriptions, samples, and
walkthroughs. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a new way of
developing solutions!
What you’ll learn:
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 a
project manager, you will learn how create, manage, and assess 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 a real-time view of all project metrics. If you are a
developer, you will learn how to write higher-quality code, and ensure
that the code works and performs well.
