{{request edit}}

Hello, my name is Patricia Wagner and I'm an employee of Microsoft. I work in the Cloud+Enterprise division as a content publisher for Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server, and Application Lifecycle Management products. We are reviewing Wikipedia articles that relate to our areas and would like to update some to better represent the current state and features of our products. Please review the changes below and let me know if they are acceptable to you. Thank you very much for your consideration.

We are suggesting these edits to:

  • Update current row for Microsoft Test Manager.
  • Add a new row for Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services (new) because they have test capabilities that don’t require Test Manager.
  • Update product names and versions.
  • Fix typo in "Team Foundation Serve".
  • Propose friendlier tone to replace “formal speak”.
  • Propose replacing “interface” to describe Test Manager, which is just a tool that “works with” TFS and Team Services.
  • Clarified ambiguous pronouns.
  • Added links to existing Wikipedia pages and sections.

Microsoft Test Manager Microsoft proprietary Yes Yes Yes Yes 2010

Microsoft Test Manager is included with Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 - 2015, Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 - 2013, and Visual Studio Enterprise 2015. Test Manager works with features in Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Visual Studio Team Services, and so requires TFS or Team Services. Test Manager supports these testing activities: exploratory testing, test management: test planning, test case generation, manual testing, test automation, integration with build servers for continuous integration and continuous delivery, bug creation and tracking, test results reporting, automated testing in parallel on multiple computers, plus setting up and managing environments. (Visual Studio Lab Management)

Team Foundation Server Microsoft proprietary/SaaS Yes Yes Yes Yes 2005 / 2013 Team Foundation Server (TFS) supports these testing activities: test case creation, test management, manual testing, test automation, including automated execution during builds and releases for continuous integration and continuous delivery, and also testing in parallel on multiple computers bug creation and tracking, test results reporting, and automated testing in parallel on multiple computers. Visual Studio Team Services supports these activities as cloud services, plus web performance and load testing.
