Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS) helps project heads and developers work together more efficiently when they create enterprise level applications. Unlike many other products, VSTS is designed to work across the whole of the project?s life cycle. As a result, many applications are included within the system, including a suite of modeling tools, a logical operations manager, a source-code control and versioning system, and build, unit and load testing software. This book will help readers grasp the complexities of the new software and maximize its potential. TOC:Introducing the Visual Studio Team System The Software Development Lifecycle What is VSTS?
