Preface

Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)


VSTS stands for Visual Studio Team services and is also known as Visual Studio Online (VSO). It's a collaboration to manage the aspects of your project, including planning, execution/delivery, and support.  

The top two benefits of leveraging VSTS with Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition and LCS are as follows:

  • Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): Management of business and requirements in LCS, using the same for delivery in VSTS
  • Continuous delivery: Seamless code and data movement across environments/projects

To connect and manage your BPM library artifacts in VSTS, the LCS project must be linked to VSTS. If your project team has already deployed a DEV/build environment using the LCS project, your LCS project is most probably already linked to VSTS. You can utilize VSTS capabilities to manage all configurations, data, business, integrations, reporting, or any other requirement in your Dynamics 365 implementation.
