Microsoft Visual Studio Team System is an integrated Application Life Cycle Management (ALM) solution comprising tools, processes, and guidance to help all members of a development team improve their skills and work effectively together.

Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition provides developers with an advanced set of tools to identify inefficient, insecure, or poor-quality code, specify coding best practices, and automate software unit testing. These tools help team members write better-quality code, reduce security-related issues, and avoid bugs later in the development lifecycle.
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition helps identify inefficient, insecure, and poor-quality code. It automates software unit testing and, with Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server, automates compliance with coding best practices. These tools help everyone on the team write better code, mitigate security risks, and deliver customer value in less time.
