    <p>I'm evaluating Microsoft Team Foundation Server for my customer, who currently uses Visual SourceSafe and nothing else. They have explicitly expressed a desire to implement a more rigid and process-driven environment as their application is in production and they have future releases to consider.</p> <p>The particular areas I'm trying to cover are:</p> <ul> <li>Configuration management (e.g., source control)</li> <li>Change management (workflow and doco for change requests, tasks)</li> <li>Release management (builds and deployments)</li> <li>Incident and problem management (issues and bugs)</li> <li>Document management (similar to source control, but available via web)</li> <li>Code analysis constraints on check-ins</li> <li>A testing framework</li> <li>Reporting</li> <li>Visual Studio 2008 integration</li> </ul> <p>TFS does all of these things quite well, but it's expensive and complex to maintain, and the inexpensive Workgroup edition doesn't scale. We don't get TFS as part of our MSDN subscription.</p> <p>Those problems can be overcome, but before I tell my customer to go the TFS route, which in itself isn't a terrible thing, I wanted to evaluate the alternatives. I know Subversion is often suggested for its configuration management/source control, but what about the other areas? Would a combination of Subversion/NUnit/Wiki/CruiseControl/NAnt/something else satisfy all of these requirements? What tools do I need to include in my evaluation?</p> <p>Or should I just bite the bullet and go with TFS since we're already invested in the Microsoft stack?</p>

    1. COMy personal experience with TFS vs. Svn et al, is that initial setup for TFS is cake and provides excellent integration out of the box. My Svn/VisualSVN/CC.NET/NAnt implementation took me days to get installed and integrated (first timer!). Once up and running, they both work well, but prefer TFS.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
