Team Foundation Server, seven years in development, is considered crucial to Microsoft's ALM platform. Microsoft's impending delivery of its Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server is the culmination of seven years of planning the company's entrance into the ALM (application lifecycle management) space.
Serving as a data warehouse and collaboration hub, Team Foundation Server complements Microsoft's already shipping Visual Studio 2005 Team System client components for ALM. Team Foundation Server ships later this month. Microsoft's Rick LaPlante, general manager of the company's Visual Studio Team System group, is expected to discuss the product on March 16 at the SD West 2006 conference in Santa Clara, Calif.
Team Foundation Server reports on static analysis of code, tracks the software build process, and furnishes a history of software engineering efforts. It is considered crucial to Microsoft's ALM platform.
