Microsoft Team System Custom Client
Software development in a team environment has the advantage of allowing talented engineers to collaborate their ideas towards a common focus. This design methodology helps TechSmith create cutting edge screen capture and recording software designed to help people communicate.
Team collaboration does, however, present some technological hurdles. Developing software in a team environment, engineers must worry about version control, progress tracking, build management, process guidance, and business intelligence. Bringing all of this information together in an accessible form proves to be difficult for software development.
At the core of their software development processes, TechSmith uses Microsoft Team Foundation System to collect and track collaborative development data from multiple individuals on multiple teams. Team Foundation System does not however, allow users easy and intuitive access to the information it collects.
With the Team System Client, users can access all of this collaboration data from one convenient web portal. From their computer workstation, users can view and modify information for key elements of software projects that they are working on.
This website application is created as a Microsoft Silverlight front-end to a C# .NET web service that can interact with Microsoft Team Foundation System 2008.
