Microsoft Solutions Framework

• Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) is an
  integrated system of process guidance
• It embraces both agile and formal methodologies
  and provides a framework to implement a
  customized solution for a wide variety of
  projects
• Team System ships with both MSF for Agile
  Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process
  Improvement

Lesson 3 Team System Components

• Team System Components
• Scalability and Performance
• Reliability of the Data Tier
• Reliability of the Application Tier

38
Team System Components

• Server Components
• Team Foundation Server
• Build Server
• Test Server
• Test Rigs
• TFS File Cache Proxy
• Server Integration
• Active Directory
• SMTP Server

• Client Components
• Team Editions
• For Software Architects
• For Software Developers
• For Software Testers
• For Database Professionals
• Team Suite
• Team Explorer
• 3rd Party
• MSSCCI Clients
• Client Integration
• Office Excel 2003
• Microsoft Project 2003

Only Team Foundation Server and a client are
required components. Excel and Project require
.NET Programmability Support, which is not
installed by default.
