TFS Primary Use Case

CarlBrown - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President Engineering at Vertex Downhole Ltd

We use TFS for all of our source code. We develop a software suite with about eight different applications that work together, and then we also do firmware development. We use it for our firmware development source code repository.

It is deployed on a private server. We've gone all the way from version 2012 up to 2017, and we will be doing the 2019 upgrade very soon.

We do a user story for a use case, which is like a snapshot of one pass through a use case. We tend to align them with the branches in Git. We have story branches created in Git and edited in TFS, which correspond to user stories based on a use case.

KK
Asst. Vice president, Applications Architecture at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

The primary use for TFS is for event planning, including things like writing the user story and then assigning tasks to the developers. Another task is writing test cases, then recording test results, and sending bugs to the team members. The third thing is that we use TFS as part of our CICD pipeline.

As part of our pipeline, we use it for checking in code and it acts as a repository. This leads to the fourth thing we use it for, which is to move the code from dev to QA to production. Essentially, we establish a complete lifecycle using TFS.

We also use it in conjunction with Azure DevOps.
