TFS – Work Items
 Work items assist teams to manage their work

 Common elements:

 Fields
 Rules
 Form
 State-transition model

 Common characteristics:

 Share a set of common system fields.

 Track comprehensive history of changes
 Support links and attachments to other artifacts

 Although two team projects might start with the same work item type
definition, over time, they might diverge as project administrators change the
definitions to suit the requirements of each team project. A change in one
team project's work item type definition does not affect the other.

 Build Type
 Provides an interface which allows the user to define the build
steps and build parameters needed for their builds.

 Build Execution
 Leverages the build type to generate build outputs
 Executes build steps including execution of test code with
coverage data, updates work items, and calculates metrics.

 Build Report
 Provides a view into the execution of the build.
 The report lists the overall build status including detailed build
steps, work items resolved, code changes, and summary of test
execution.
