Visual Studio Team System 2008 is an integrated software development platform. It is composed of a set of client tools, packaged together as Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite (Team Suite), and a server component Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server (TFS). Built upon the foundation of Visual Studio 2008 Professional, Team Suite contains tools architects, database professionals, developers, and testers. TFS provides the core infrastructure to manage and track progress as your team builds solutions. This course provides end-to-end coverage of both the client and server functionality. During the class, the hands-on lab exercises allows your team to role-play and build a software solution using the tools, taking advantage of requirements management, bug tracking, testing and builds. The course exposes them to what’s built-in and what they need to add through customization. By the end of the week, you and your team should have the knowledge and hands-on experience to implement Team System in your projects.
