You can have the best coders in the world working in your teams,
but if your project management isn't up to scratch, your project is
almost certain to be delayed, to come in over budget, and in some
cases to fail entirely. By taking precise control of your
application development process, you can make changes, both large
and small, throughout your project's life cycle that will lead to
betterquality finished products that are consistently delivered on
time and within budget Application lifecycle management (ALM) is an
area of rapidly growing interest within the development community.
Because its techniques allow you to deal with the process of
developing applications across many areas of responsibility and
across many different disciplines, its effects on your project can
be wide ranging and pronounced. It is a project management tool
that has practical implications for the whole teamfrom architects
to designers, from developers to testers. Pro Application Lifecycle
Management with Visual Studio 2012focuses on the most powerful ALM
tool available for the Microsoft .NET Framework: Visual Studio Team
Foundation Server. It demonstrates the key concepts and techniques
of ALM at first with a guide to the overall methodology, and then
delves into architecture and testing--illustrating all of the
concepts, tips and tricks using the tools TFS provides. The book
serves as a complete guide to the ALM style--with no fluff and many
relevant code samples and examples. What you'll learn What ALM is
and what it can do for you How to achieve traceability in your
projects How to improve your development process Why TFS is so much
more than just a version control tool The new features in TFS that
help encourage ALM best practices, especially within Metro and .NET
