TFS

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) is the collaboration platform at the core of Microsoft's application lifecycle management (ALM) solution. To use TFS as an artifact source, select TFS from the Source Config Type drop-down list box then configure the type-specific fields described here. For information about creating components, see Creating Components.

Note: This brings your built artifacts from TFS into Deployment Automation. If you want to bring TFS source controlled artifacts into Deployment Automation, see TFS_SCM.
