Branching Guidance now available
Few days ago was announced the availability in CodePlex of Branching Guidance for Team Foundation Serve. The purpose of this document is to build some insightful and practical guidance around doing branching and merging using Team Foundation Server. This was a collaborative effort between the TFS Product Team and members of Microsoft Consulting Services.
It includes the following topics:
· Introduction
· Parallel Development
· Branching Defined
· Creating Isolation in Team Foundation Server
· General Branching Structure Guidance
· Branching Strategies
· Broad Areas of Branching Isolation
· Creating Your Branching Strategy
· Defining Your Code Promotion Model
· Feature Crews: How Microsoft Does It
· End-to-End Implementation Scenario
· Appendix
This Project is one of those developed by an internal group known as Rangers who are focused on accelerating adoption of Visual Studio Team System and solving some of the challenges prior to the launch of the next TFS version.
