Thanks man that's really helpful.

when would you consider it "mature enough"?

Simple : When I run intellitest, it runs well enough, create lots of test cases, but when I save them, it confuses some of classes with same name as some .net classes and do not even provide a way for me fix it : thus not mature enough. Now, I know I probably should avoid such names, but it's a legacy code.

Hi all, Thanks in advance.. Has anyone tried Visual Studio's new feature "Intellitest". I was trying it out, and it dose not look mature enough. Please let me know if anyone of you guys have any better insight.

The part where you cannot control or stop updates? Just go for Professional Edition and you'll be in control...

Insider? Me too... have to say, I am not very happy with it...

Windows 10 is about to release and it looks promising to me. What about you? Would you upgrate to Windows 10???

Agreed, but have you used ClearCase, it's the same only worse. :(

Merging between branches is not as simple either

I might want to contradict with you about that. I find it rather simple, I wonder, what might be bothering you.

I agree, and have to say, that the TFS is compelling to anyone who ever used it. I have used it in my previous company and fell in love with it, and now I cannot work in other environment. It's like going to Notepad after using VisualStudio :(. However the learning curve involve in this is very less compared to other similar tool, i.e ClearCase, Git, Subversion etc.

Me too, and miss TFS (As I do not get to use it in my company-or rather in my project.) I miss the sheving the pending changes feature and code review work item feature. I belive if you make the tool easy to follow the processes. people we do it, and they will do it gladly.

How can you use TFS and not use it? I mean

I do not integrate TFS with my Visual Studio projects, because that's not how I work.

VS comes with TFS support build in. How can you not use TFS in VS and use it from outside?

Ok, so TFS is not so good with huge team and different servers? I don't know I am asking, because that's what I need to do, choose a proper source control system. Have you ever used ClearQuest?

Exactly...

Anything that is harder to use than an Excel spreadsheet get's thrown in the bin for us. TFS / VSO has great potential, but not until they focus on the data (ie tasks) instead of the process (ie their overly complicated workflow and terrible UI)

I understand the complexity involved in managing tasks, but let's agree that "no" software does it better, everyone have some advantage and disadvantages over one another. But when you are in BIG team that's spread over 3 different CONTINENTS, you need something to manage your task and then the process eats up your time rather that the work itself. But you know that. You have one thing to manage you task and other thing to keep track on developers daily tasks and for his billing, and them something else for code review tracking and something for you source control. this is even more complex than the most complex net to entangled threads. That' where TFS Kicks in, it has everything in it. you don't even have to leave the VS. code review, tasks, work items, User stories hell it even has the track of which line was added for which code review and the reviewer with his comment, what method what changed by how many people and for what all reasons. This makes it easy, all the info in available at one place. That's what I like about TFS, but unfortunately I do not know what real benefits are we getting from ClearCase over TFS.

ust about every developer I've worked with dislikes using TFS - me included X|

I understand the feeling, but try using ClearQuest, TFS will be heaven for you. :(

Yes Code comparer is a great tool. Even in VS13 the inbuild comparer has the similar interface.

I suppose ther might be a lot drawbacks in TFS. I think some of you points contradicts with the reality. (Please correct me if I am wrong about any).

TFS needs to be connected constantly to your network

TFS has work offline feature which will be activated when you loos the connectivity and it asks you if you want to continue working in offline mode and when you reconnect it shows you all the file you have changed in offline mode - This is same in ClearQuest - so that'll not be a problem.

If you have used VS 10 or above, In those versions, TFS does actually suports a really nice (the Best I've ever seen) interface to merge file in, the compare tool of VS is the best, it also support editing the files right in the mearge tool, also the navigation between changes in awesome- atleast heavenly better that ClearQuest. Now I have not used SVN that much, so may be I dont know exactly how it might be bettern in SVN. but please let me know if TFS is bettern than ClearQuest in this sense.

Hello all, I am doing a small research in my company to switch from ClearCase(IBM's Source Control System) and ClearQuest(IBM's task/project/backlog management system) to Team Foundation server. I till now found out that TFS is much more fast in terms of checking out, checking in functionality and have great in-visual-studio interface, also that it's compare and code review functionality is great. As we use VS-13 and our project is completedly in C#. I want to know what you guys suggest about TFS' Task management. is it reach in features and also have you found out it's drawback? Thanks in advance.

So then out the wood in fire, try out the betas which are released, or wait till next week and try out the letest beta which will come out with the cool new featurs. :)

Yes me too, I've been using it since September-14 when it was first amounced. I do realy care about it, because I strongly think that my career is tightly coupled with the progress of Windows :).
