Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this tfs training:

Team Foundation Server 2017 and Visual Studio Team Services offer many features to help make developers more productive. This 2-day course has been designed for developers wanting to work efficiently with Team Foundation Server 2017 or Visual Studio Team Services. All examples are shown using Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).

The course starts by getting developers familiar with the product suite before creating a new Team Project to organize their work. We then move onto Work Item Tracking, which is where requirements, tasks, bugs, and more are defined and tracked throughout the project.

The central part of the course provides a deep dive into version control topics that are vital to a developer’s day-to-day work. This includes how to branch and merge following best practices before moving into unit testing and code quality features. We will examine the new build system and how to configure continuous integration (CI), and the final topic in the course looks at the new Package Management features introduced in TFS 2017 to allow teams to easily reuse packages across their applications.

Team Foundation Server or Visual Studio Team Services: This course is applicable for teams using Visual Studio Team Services or an on-premises Team Foundation Server. 

At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
  • Create, configure, and manage team projects
  • Use Team Explorer to navigate project content
  • Manage work using work items, including how to configure links correctly
  • Use work items such as Task and Bug to provide traceability
  • Create and customize work item queries to find and organize work
  • Set up and manage their own custom alerts (notifications)
  • Understand core version concepts and how they apply to TFS or VSTS
  • Use the Source Control Explorer
  • Configure source control folder structures
  • Use the version control system effectively, including branching and workspaces
  • Use the MSSCCI provider to enable backward compatibility for maintaining legacy code
  • Work with unit tests and the Test Explorer window
  • Use Code Metrics and Static Code Analysis
  • Use the new build system and configure Continuous Integration
  • Improve team collaboration using Package Management
Audience: This course is designed for all Visual Studio 2017 developers who are starting work in a team with either Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server. The course focuses on features common to both the professional and enterprise editions of Visual Studio 2017.
