3 OUR DAILY MOTIVATION It s hard enough for software developers to write code that works on their machine. But even when it s done, there s a long journey from there to software that s producing value since software only produces value when it s in production. Martin Fowler 3

10 ALM OVERVIEW WITH TFS 11

11 CONTINUOUS VALUE PROCESS PERSPECTIVE Plan Agile portfolio management Kanban customization Work item tagging REQUIREMENTS BACKLOG Build Measure Learn Operate Visual Studio and System Center integration Performance events Develop Team Room Git Code Information Indicators.NET memory Dump Analyzer Load Testing as a Service Construct Collaborate Operate RELEASE WORKING SOFTWARE Release Integrated release management Configuration-based deployments

12 DEPLOYMENT COMPLEXITY Scripting Deployment script triggered by build process Automations Deployment automation triggered by an automation framework, i.e. TFS ASAP Workflow Fully configurable workflow with Release Management for Visual Studio Source: 13

13 MSBUILD VS. TEAMBUILD VS. RELEASE MANAGEMENT Release Management Teambuild Workflow MSBuild 14

14 NEWS IN BUILD PROCESS TEMPLATES WITH TFS

15 TEAMBUILD - NEW FEATURES GIT support Output location is configurable Script support (e.g. PowerShell) before and after Build and Test step Build results can be stored in Source Control; downloadable as zip file Standard templates stored centrally Windows 8.1 App support 16

28 DEMO - BASIC SCENARIO

29 LICENSING Team Foundation Server Drop Location RM Server DEV Visual Studio Ultimate includes a license for two deployment endpoints (environments) Triggering the release pipeline sequence Team Foundation Server CAL QA Approve stages or to sign off on a release No license required RM Web RM Client Create, update, delete a release sequence VS Ultimate with MSDN, VS Premium with MSDN, VS Test Professional with MSDN or MSDN Platforms 32

30 BENEFITS OF RELEASE MANAGEMENT 33

31 GOALS More productive employees Improve quality of software in production Faster time to market 34

32 BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION Minimizing of monotonous work More time for creative work Automated tasks are faster than manual tasks Improvement of quality In the long run: automated processes cost less than manual processes 35

33 CONCLUSION 36

34 SUMMARY Pros Another gap in ALM with TFS closed Powerful tool Full traceability Not fully integrated, yet Some difficulties in detail Cons Good starting point Deploy to production might not be suitable for all customers 37

35 ADDITIONAL TOPICS Outlook: Security concept Execute tests with Release Management Configuration of tokens (dealing with different settings on each environment) Deploy to Azure Whats happened since RTM version? Improvement in integration of external build deliveries Server tags - Copy & Paste of Workflows is no longer required Shipping with Update 3: Support of Desired State Configuration (DSC) 39
