Microsoft ecosystem

TFS together with MTM or the Test hub allows you to leverage the test development and test run capabilities of TestArchitect with a host of software tools offered by Microsoft’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem. To fully exploit these offerings, it is helpful to have an understanding of the Microsoft ALM and its components.
