Do you get lost in the myriad of tools that congregate under the banner of Visual Studio Team System (VSTS)? Perhaps you don't, but I do!
Today David Reed pointed me at a resource on MSDN that does a good job of unmuddying the waters as regards these tools. Head to Visual Studio 2005 Team Editions Comparison for an explanation of the various offerings for each of the following roles and/or tools:
- Database folks
- Software architects
- Software developers
- Testers
- Team Foundation Server
- Team Explorer
- VSTO
- the whole blummin' lot
There's also a link on there to a pricing comparison but I think that these are just guides so don't expect that these will be the price you pay. Obviously there will be deals for volume licensing.
Thanks David. That might not be useful to anyone else but it is to me!
