Summary:

Make the Most of Visual Studio Team System in Real-World Agile Development Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) gives Microsoft development teams a powerful, integrated toolset for Agile development. Visual Studio Team System: Better Software Development for Agile Teams is a comprehensive, start-to-finish guide to making the most of VSTS in real-world Agile environments. Using a book-length case study, the authors show how to use VSTS to improve every aspect of software development, step by step–from project planning through design and from coding through testing and deployment. Agile consultant Will Stott and Microsoft development lead James Newkirk carefully integrate theory and practice, offering hands-on exercises, practical insights into core Extreme Programming (XP) techniques, and much more. Coverage includes Using VSTS to support the transition to Agile values and techniques Forming Agile teams and building effective process frameworks Leveraging Team Foundation Version Control to help teams manage change and share their code effectively Implementing incremental builds and integration with Team Foundation Build Making the most of VSTS tools for Test-Driven Development and refactoring Bringing agility into software modeling and using patterns to model solutions more effectively Using the FIT integrated testing framework to make sure customers are getting what they need Estimating, prioritizing, and planning Agile projects Preface Acknowledgments About the Authors Introduction: Broken Process Section 1: Apply Sharp Tools and Values Chapter 1: Introduction to Visual Studio Team System Chapter 2: Agile Values Review of Section 1: Sharp Tools and Values Section 2: Introduce Agile Development Chapter 3: Overview of Agile Development Chapter 4: Forming an Agile Team Chapter 5: Team Foundation Process Frameworks Chapter 6: Improving Your Process Framework Review of Section 2: Introduce Agile Development Section 3: Use Version Control Chapter 7: Managing Change Chapter 8: Setting Up TFS Version Control Chapter 9: Using TFVC in Your Project Chapter 10: Policing Your Project with TFVC Review of Section 3: Use Version Control Section 4: Build and Integrate Often Chapter 11: Building and Integrating Software Chapter 12: Working with Team Foundation Build Review of Section 4: Build and Integrate Often Section 5: Practice Test-Driven Development Chapter 13: Introduction to TDD Chapter 14: Developing Your First Tests Chapter 15: Learning to Refactor Chapt...
