This document provides an overview of how to use Team Foundation Server (TFS) to manage the development lifecycle of SharePoint solutions. It describes how developers can use TFS for source control, work item tracking, building and deploying solutions, running tests, and releasing to staging and production environments. Key aspects covered include integrating Visual Studio projects with TFS, running daily builds, testing using virtual machines, and deploying solutions using WSP packages.
