For questions about Microsoft's Azure DevOps Server, previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS).

Team Foundation Server is a Microsoft product which provides source code management (either via Team Foundation Version Control or Git), reporting, requirements management, project management (for both agile software development and waterfall teams), automated builds, lab management, testing and release management capabilities.
