Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System
Visual Studio Team System was used by myself in our local development team, and much wider in the company for most development teams. When working on most products within the company Visual Studio Team System was the development platform of choice. Visual Studio Team System provides an excellent all-in-one solution for development which is why it stood out at the best solution for most projects we worked on.
- Coordination of development between local and remote teams
- Centralized build process with a particular good focus on test driven development
- Good selection for technology platforms from a single IDE
- More support for non-Microsoft development languages
- Wider integration with build tools (such as Jenkins)
- Allows faster code development in team environments
- Can be an expensive initial outlay
There is little sensible competition for Visual Studio Team System as it offers a unique solution for Microsoft development. It is possible to build a similar solution using various open source technologies, but the will never compete in terms of unified solution.
