Visual Studio 2010 Version Control and Bug Tracking capabilities

We are considering purchasing Perforce and OnTime for SCM and Bug Tracking respectively when discovered that with Visual Studio 2010 we'll get both Source Control & Bug Tracking integrated into it and for free (if you are a MSDN subscriber).

More in general, does it still worth to invest in these standalone and expensive tools? What are the benefits compared to what Visual S开发者_如何学JAVAtudio 2010 Team System has to offer?

I found this document but still refers to VS2008: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/comparisons/perforce_mstfs.pdf

Thanks,

To get the Team Foundation Server (TFS) Client Access Licence (CAL) each use will need at least MSDN-Professional (if I recall correctly). Other users will still need a separate CAL.

TFS does include both version control and work item tracking (and bugs are one kind of work item).

There are a number of reasons to prefer PerForce (or any other alternate ALM suite), includingL

• It does something you need that TFS doesn't. (Note "need", you might like it, but will you really use that feature having paid for it).
• You need to work with tools or people that use PerForce.

The starting point for TFS documentation is:

• Product Overview and more marketing/sales/overview information: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-gb/products/2010/default.mspx#overview
• MSDN Documentation (details of usage, administration, customisation, ...): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/fda2bad5(VS.100).aspx

With the VS2010 Release Candidate about to be freely available (tomorrow) why not give it a try. For some scale (evaluation use) it will run on a fairly low powered VM.
