 WHAT ARE
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
Software management tools are software applications or
platforms designed to help organizations and teams efficiently
plan, develop, deploy, and maintain software projects. These
tools typically provide features for project planning, version
control, bug tracking, collaboration, and automation, facilitating
the software development and maintenance process.

TEAM FOUNDATION
SERVER (TFS)
 WHAT IS TFS?

Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a collaborative software

development tool that helps teams manage their projects and
code. It provides a centralized location for storing and
tracking changes to code, as well as tools for planning,
tracking, and reporting on project progress.
 KEY FEATURES OF TFS
Work Item Tracking
TFS provides a centralized platform for tracking and managing work items,
including bugs, tasks, and user stories.

Version Control Build and Release

TFS offers robust version control
Management
functionality, allowing teams to manage TFS provides a streamlined process for
source code and track changes over time. building and releasing software, including
continuous integration and deployment
functionality.

Reporting and Analytics

TFS offers robust reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing teams to track progress, identify
bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.
 BENEFITS OF TFS
Project Management and Tracking
TFS provides a centralized dashboard for project
management and tracking, allowing teams to easily
collaborate and stay on top of project progress.
 TFS ARCHITECTURE
1. Server Tier
The server tier of TFS includes the TFS application tier and the TFS data tier. The
application tier provides the web services and application logic that enable client
access to TFS. The data tier provides the SQL Server database that stores all TFS
data.
2. Client Tier
The client tier of TFS includes the TFS client applications and the web
interface. The TFS client applications include Visual Studio, Team Explorer,
and Test Manager. The web interface provides a browser-based interface to
TFS.
3. Data Tier
The data tier of TFS includes the SQL Server database that stores all TFS
data. The database is organized into several key areas, including version
control, work item tracking, build automation, and reporting.

JIRA
The Ultimate Project Management Tool
 WHAT IS JIRA?

Jira is a powerful project management tool that helps teams plan, track, and manage their work. It is
designed to be flexible and customizable, making it ideal for a wide range of projects and teams.
Whether you're working on software development, marketing campaigns, or anything in between, Jira
can help you stay organized and on track.
 KEY FEATURES

AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Jira is a powerful tool for agile project management, allowing teams to plan, track, and
release software with ease. Its agile boards provide a visual representation of tasks and
workflows, making it easy to manage projects and keep everyone on the same page.

CUSTOMIZABLE WORKFLOWS
Jira's customizable workflows allow teams to tailor the tool to their
specific needs. Whether you're working on software development,
marketing campaigns, or HR initiatives, Jira can be configured to match
your team's unique workflow.
 BENEFITS OF USING JIRA
INCREASED
PRODUCTIVITY
Jira's user-friendly interface and
customizable workflows streamline
project management, leading to
increased productivity and faster
delivery of projects.
IMPROVED
COLLABORATION
Jira's real-time collaboration tools,
such as comments and notifications,
enable team members to communicate
and work together more effectively,
leading to better outcomes.
 JIRA ARCHITECTURE
1. Client Tier
The client tier is the user interface of Jira, where users interact with
the system through a web browser or a mobile device. This tier is
responsible for rendering the user interface and handling user input.

2. Application Tier
The application tier is the core of Jira, where the business logic and
processing takes place. This tier is responsible for managing user
authentication, data storage, and communication with the database tier.

3. Database Tier
The database tier is where Jira stores all of its data. This tier is responsible for
managing the data and ensuring that it is available to the application tier when
needed. Jira supports several databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
Oracle.

RALLY SOFTWARE
Revolutionizing Agile Development
WHAT IS RALLY SOFTWARE?

Rally Software is a leading provider of Agile software

development tools that help organizations improve productivity,
predictability, and overall business performance. Our platform is
designed to empower teams to work together more effectively,
streamline workflows, and deliver higher quality products faster.
 KEY FEATURES

AGILE

Supports Agile methodologies like Highly customizable with
Scrum and Kanban apps and add-ons

INTEGRATION RELEASE PLANNING

Connects with various development and business Plan and track releases, sprints and
tools milestones
 BENEFITS OF RALLY

1 Agile Project Management

Plan, execute and track agile projects.

2 Visualizations
Provide visual project data
representations for clarity.

Collaboration
3 Facilitate real-time team
communication and coordination.
 RALLY ARCHITECTURE
1. Microservices Architecture
Rally Software is built on a microservices architecture, which allows
for scalability, flexibility, and easy maintenance. Each service is
developed and deployed independently, making it easier to update and
modify the system without affecting other services. This also makes it
easier to add new features and functionality to the system.

2. Service-Oriented Architecture
Rally Software is designed using a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
This architecture allows for the creation of modular, reusable, and
scalable software components. Each service is designed to perform a
specific function or task, and can be combined with other
Services to create a complete solution.

DEVOPS
 WHAT IS DEVOPS?

DevOps, a portmanteau of "Development" and "Operations," is a set of practices,

principles, and cultural philosophies that aims to improve collaboration and
communication between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. The
primary goal of DevOps is to automate and streamline the software delivery and
infrastructure management processes, resulting in faster, more reliable, and more frequent
software releases.
 CORE DEVOPS PRINCIPLES

Automation of the
software development Collaboration and
lifecycle communication

Continuous improvement Hyperfocus on user needs

and minimization of waste with short feedback loops
 Faster Time to Market
DevOps accelerates the delivery of software,
allowing organizations to respond quickly to
Improved Quality market changes and customer demands.
Automation and rigorous testing
result in higher code quality and
fewer production defects.

Increased Efficiency
Automation reduces manual,

Greater Reliability
BENEFITS OF DEVOPS error-prone tasks, improving
efficiency and reducing
operational costs.
Continuous integration and
deployment practices ensure
reliable software releases.
 GOAL

The primary goal of DevOps is to bridge the gap between

development and operations, allowing organizations to deliver
high-quality software quickly and reliably, with a focus on
collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.
 DEVOPS LIFECYCLE
The DevOps lifecycle encompasses the entire software
development and delivery process, from initial planning and
development to continuous deployment and ongoing
monitoring.
It is a cyclical process of continuous improvement, with
feedback loops at every stage to drive refinements and
enhancements in each subsequent cycle. The DevOps lifecycle
follows the phases mentioned earlier (Plan, Develop, Test,
Deploy) and integrates feedback from production (i.e.,
monitoring and operations) to inform future planning and
development efforts, creating a seamless, iterative process of
software delivery and infrastructure management.
