As the TFS usage increases over time, the TFS instances can build up very large volumes of data files, builds, releases, Work Items, and so on. For the most part, this is a very good thing – a big part of the value of many Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) features, after all, is maintaining a reliable history of the various artifacts involved in a producing software. At some point, however, there are implicit and explicit costs involved in maintaining older data, such as performance impacts and increased time spent on upgrades, in addition to the increased disk space requirements. In this recipe, you'll learn how to analyze the TFS database size and set up test retention policies for a Team Project.

Overview of this book
Team Foundation Server (TFS) allows you to manage code repositories, build processes, test infrastructure, and deploy labs. TFS supports your team, enabling you to connect, collaborate, and deliver on time. Microsoft's approach to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides a flexible and agile environment that adapts to the needs of your team, removes barriers between roles, and streamlines processes.
The book introduces you to creating and setting up team projects for scrum teams. You'll explore various source control repositories, branching, and merging activities, along with a demonstration of how to embed quality into every code check-in. Then, you'll discover agile project planning and management tools. Later, emphasis is given to the testing and release management features of TFS which facilitate the automation of the release pipeline in order to create potentially shippable increments.
By the end of the book, you'll have learned to extend and customize TFS plugins to incorporate them into other platforms and enable teams to manage the software lifecycle effectively.
