I recently announced the availability of the Visual Studio 2013 and Team Foundation Server 2013 previews. There are a couple of new features available with this preview that I’d like to talk a bit more about. Cloud Load Testing Now that the Preview is available, you can try out our new cloud load testing experience. We’ve been using it on...
Today at the Build conference, we announced the availability of Visual Studio 2013 Preview and Team Foundation Server 2013 Preview. You can download them here. You can also read my blog post from Tech Ed for a bunch of info on the new ALM features. You can also check out Soma’s blog for more on what’s in this release. ...
Today we officially released Visual Studio 2012.3 and Team Foundation Server 2012.3. All in all, these are small releases, mostly containing high priority bug fixes and a few changes to improve the compatibility/interop story with VS 2013. You can read all about it in the KB article or download it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?...
As with any significant change, there is a period of “burn in” the tune it. I want to thank everyone who has already provided feedback and ask that you please keep it coming. We’ve already released an update with some improvements for the “easy stuff” and the team has created a backlog for the next sprint to address ...
In my Visual Studio 2013 post from TechEd a couple of weeks ago, I made a very innocuous comment about including Git support in our TFS 2013 preview that will ship next week (at the Build conference). I wanted to take a few minutes to expand upon it. We first introduced Git support as a VS 2012 VSIX for Visual Studio and server side support ...
Today we updated the service with our sprint 49 work. You can read the details of the significant improvements on the news blog. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a comparatively small update. We released so much on Jun 3rd for TechEd, there’s just not a lot of new stuff to show :) Two areas worth mentioning are ...

I try to share some of the funnier and stranger stories from my life. Unfortunately, I don’t always remember to share them. I’m working from home today because I’ve got an all day phone call with people in Redmond. As I was sitting and waiting for my meeting to start this morning, the phone rang. It was the camp adjacent to our farm...
In VS 2012, we introduced the notion of “round-tripping”. This meant the ability for VS 2012 to load and save VS 2010 compatible solutions/projects. That was a huge customer ask and I’ve heard a lot of feedback since then that customers rely on it. At TechEd this week, I was asked what the story with 2013 would be.&...
Hold on to your seat, this is going to be a long one… Today at TechEd, I announced Visual Studio 2013 and Team Foundation Server 2013 and many of the Application Lifecycle Management features that they include. Today, we enabled some of those features on Team Foundation Service for you to try out immediately and I announced that a preview of ...
