  • How testers can use VSTS to manage test cases for unit testing, web testing, load testing, and manual testing
  • How Domain Specific Language tools allow you to create a custom graphical designer using a domain model
  • The two flavors of the Microsoft® Solutions Framework and how the associated process guidance is included in the toolset
  • How software development artifacts and process-specific work items are contained and controlled in the centralized Team Foundation Server

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep-dive technical usage on implementing and maximizing VSTS, May 31, 2006
This is the book for leverage the power of VSTS. It covers setup and install of VSTS, specific Visual Studio tool enhancements, implementing methodology, extensibility, and overall team integration.

Each of the authors are experts in specific technologies/methodologies that VSTS addresses and they take you through the insides of all the major components of VSTS.

- Sam Guckenheimer's book "Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System" is focused on software engineering and project management using VSTS.

- Richard Hundhausen's "Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System" is an introduction to "What is Team System?"

This book is the technical ins and outs of Team System.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Big Book on a Big Software System, July 2, 2006
Big software systems such as an operating system, a database, or an integrated business package have grown where they cannot be the product of a single individual. Hence programming teams have been forced to develop. Teams have been forced to further divide into specialties such as architect, developer and tester. With all this has come the problems associated with integrating the output of the members of the team who may well be geographically dispersed (Did anybody mention India?) and may have communications difficulties.

Microsoft's answer to this is the Visual Studio Team System. It's a quite sophisticated system for the record keeping and organizating of a team programming system. Neither the software nor this book is aimed at the complete beginner who has other problems rather than team efforts.

This is one of Wrox's Programmer to Programmer books. It is written by professionals with a view to its use by other professionals.

The one complaint I have, and it's a complaint about the software, not about the book, is that this software system is very Microsoft dependent. Microsoft wants to supply all the system you have on your computers, so instead of standards like UML, Microsoft has re-invented the wheel to use their own technology.

This is a big book, about a big software package. If Visual Studio Team System is what you have decided (or been told) to use, this book is an excellent place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but lacks integration, April 4, 2007
By Thiago V. Temple (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very good book, and covers a lot of information and has a very easy to understand language.
But it could have a sample project covering all steps from the beggining to the end.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much overview, no real life examples
This book is just one of those books covering everything, and actually nothing in detail.
