Visual Studio Team Services
Visual Studio Team Services is a Microsoft based software that allows developers to test and deploy their codes quickly and efficiently. You can start small and increase the scale of your project as it evolves to suit your unique needs. VSTS is optimized to work with the tools that developers already have. You can build and program your applications using your team's preferred coding language, regardless of whether that language is associated with Microsoft. You can also deploy your completed application to any cloud provider, app store, or platform by using your DevOPs infrastructure. VSTS is an ideal software because it allows people to connect from anywhere in the world. The service also updates every three weeks, so it's constantly improving. The Visual Studio Marketplace comes with over five hundred extensions that can be integrated with VSTS for a more comprehensive user experience. A few of those extensions are: SonarQube - a way of tracking bugs and vulnerabilities in 20 different programming languages WhiteSource Bolt - a program to detect and fix security vulnerabilities Redgate ReadyRoll - a program to develop and deploy your databases in Visual Studio by using migration scripts Jenkins Integration - a program that provides continuous integration between related apps and software VSTS allows you to use all the features of TFS while connected to the cloud. This makes it a great tool for multi-platform development and collaborative projects. There's no need to manage upgrades, data backups, or data restoration. Microsoft provides free support for VSTS users, and the VSTS software has an intuitive interface that's easy to learn and use.
