Summary

Team Foundation Server (TFS) provides the collaboration hub at the center of the Microsoft Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution. By automating the software delivery process, entire teams can track team actions, transactions, and project artifacts such as requirements, tasks, bugs, source code, build results, and test results. Collaborate, manage your repositories and automate build processes. Your team might be small and just getting started, but with Team Foundation Server, even the smallest team can go big.

Team Foundation Server 2015 is a source-code-control, project-management, and team-collaboration platform at the core of the Microsoft suite of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools, which help teams be more agile, collaborate more effectively, and deliver quality software more consistently.

CloudMint Provides Enterprise Ready images of Team Foundation on the cloud ( AWS marketplace, Azure and Google Cloud Platform).
