Main Features
Visual Studio Team System features a world-class development environment built on top of Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. With Team System, you can publish and administer Web sites more easily with the powerful combination of ASP .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. With the built-in publishing features, such as integrated File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can keep files in your local project and synchronize them with files located on a remote Web server. Visual Studio automatically logs copied files, which helps you to identify whether the remote site has been updated with the latest files.
Team System also gives you the ability to clean all those unwanted files out of your solution in a one-click operation. Simply choose Clean Solution from the Build Menu and all the intermediate files and output directories in your whole solution will be removed.
The Deployment Designer in Team Edition for Software Architects allows application designs to be validated for deployment within a particular datacenter, identifying possible issues before the deployment begins. Service oriented applications often involve multiple components that may reside on different servers and have a variety of configuration and communication requirements.
The Team Edition for Software Architects Deployment Designer can be used to validate an application for deployment in a particular datacenter. Validation detects many common deployment issues, allowing the development team to resolve them before deployment occurs. This has the potential to greatly reduce the complexity of service oriented application deployments.
Visual Studio Team Edition for Testers provides the ability to gather and store detailed information about how an application performs under different types of load. Team Edition also lets you customize Visual Studio with your own internal tools or use supplemental products from more than 190 Microsoft partners, optimizing your teams development flexibility.
