Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a platform for collaboration and management of software development projects. It integrates version control, work item tracking, reporting, and project management tools. TFS allows developers, testers, managers, and designers to collaborate through features like version control, tracking work items and bugs, and using reports and dashboards to monitor progress. TFS provides a single system to manage the entire application lifecycle from start to finish.
