Home > Services > TFS Source Control and Bug Tracking
Overview
SSW has been developing software since 1990, and has perfected the art of managing our code, as well as
managing the code of all our many clients.
With source control (we use TFS), we can share project code and cooperate with other team members. Using
it allows us to track changes, compare code and even roll-back if required. Moreover, it keeps our code
safe; that is the most important part.
Benefits
- Check in/out policies
- Code Metrics
- HTTP access via web services
- Integrated Build Server
Technologies
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a team collaboration platform
that combines team portal, version control, work-item tracking, build management, process guidance, and
business intelligence into an unified server.
If you are a SourceSafe user you know VSS is an easy-to-install and easy-to-use source control system.
TFS gives you a much more powerful system including not only source control but also work item tracking
and build support. There is now an installation option of TFS called TFS Basic which simplifies everything
for you. Some features include:
- You can use SQL Server Express (free) as the database.
- The install runs in about 20 minutes and configures everything for you automatically.
- It can run on your client machine.
- Implementing TFS or TFS Basic.
- Migrating TFS 2008 - 2010.
- Migrating Source Safe -> TFS 2010.
- Migrating Subversion -> TFS 2010.
