We are looking into the possibility of upgrading to Team Foundation Server 2008 for our development team. One of our primary reasons is some of the deployment capabilities surrounding BizTalk 2009, but I am curious what other benefits there are for other projects outside of BizTalk.

Some of our interests so far are moving to a one click build and deploy process, the addition of unit tests, and continuous integration. Some definite steps forward for the company I work for.

What other benefits or information should I look at as I pitch this to upper management? I am looking for technical reasons, money is a not really a concern for this discussion.

    You have a lot of the great features of TFS nailed already (continuous integration, team builds, unit test integration). Some of the other features the teams I’ve been on have included:

    • Great branching and merging support, which is great for teams supporting multiple versions of software concurrently.
    • Custom check-in policies to help enforce a stable codebase in your source control.
    • Built in support for your QA team via work items which can be accessed via a SharePoint 2007 portal which TFS creates for you, or via TFS Explorer in Visual Studio.
