These are very exiting times and a lot of things are going around technologies and businesses. The competitive market is demanding continuous, improved, innovative and affordable products. There is race among companies to introduce next big thing in there respective arenas. Need for continuous release of products in market to get early feedback and rapid prototyping, demands tools and processes that will facilitate rapid development, resourcefulness, optimized cost and better project tracking.
This led me to explore Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (Visual Studio Online) for complete Application Life cycle Management (ALM) solution. Experience was quite good with my setup of Visual Studio 2014 CTP and Visual Studio Online.
Here is the snapshot of Visual Studio 2012 team explorer that integrates with Visual Studio Online portal for our team project. There are options to choose Version control system for code repository from : VS TFS and Git
We can easily navigate to Visual Studio Online to get the project stats. Below is the home screen for portal.
Here on portal you can see link Home, Code, Work , Build and Test. These are the base categories which are fully configurable to individual project requirements. On home screen we can find various options for :-
1) Managing Team members
2) Managing Work areas
3) Creating Schedules and iterations.
4) Managing Backlogs and sprints.
5) Kanban Boards
5) Team Boards etc
Once code has been uploaded to repository on TFS or GIT here is view under code menu.
From home screen we can configure our Sprints and schedules, below are screenshots from sample project:-
Once we have planned our sprints, we can manage backlogs, assign work items and track sprints.
An intuitive interface to manage all the project activities.
Automated build process and testing, these are the areas which I still need to explore, but overall a good experience so far. Will keep on posting about further exploration.
