Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a Microsoft product that provides version control, work tracking, reporting, and project management capabilities. It integrates these features into a single collaborative platform that can be accessed through Visual Studio and a web interface. Key capabilities of TFS include version control, branching and merging, work items, builds, and extensible customization options. TFS aims to provide an integrated experience for development teams to collaborate on software projects.
