If your development team accesses TFS remotely, or you have a particularly large team<br />

that causes performance issues on your central TFS server, you can also set up a TFS<br />

proxy to help improve performance.<br />

Test Environment<br />

The test environment consists of one or more test workstations <strong>with</strong> <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> <strong>Team</strong><br />

Edition for Software Testers installed. This is used to manage the test life cycle and to<br />

perform functional testing, system testing, security testing, performance testing, and Web<br />

testing. <strong>Team</strong> members use TFS to manage work items, bugs, and test results.<br />

The test environment might also include <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> <strong>Team</strong> Test Load for performance<br />

testing.<br />

Summary<br />

VSTS and TFS are designed to support the software development life cycle by<br />

integrating various aspects of software development such as source control, work<br />

tracking, reporting, project management, and automated build process.<br />

TFS plays a vital role in collaboration between the test and development teams. A<br />

development team interacts <strong>with</strong> TFS throughout the development cycle, accessing bugs<br />

and work items to determine what work needs to be done and accessing source control to<br />

enable development. A test team interacts <strong>with</strong> TFS to run tests, upload test results, and<br />

log bugs.<br />
