Use Case

Section titled “Use Case”

Azure DevOps is appropriate for teams needing tools and a place to store and organize:

  • Track and manage team/project work - can use agile methodology
  • Continually build, test, and deploy - supports various languages and deployments to cloud and on premise
  • Manage code - store in git repositories, code scanning
  • Test planning and management - manual, user acceptance, automated, and ad hoc testing; traceability to user stories and work
  • Documentation
  • Dependency management, for example NuGet, npm, Python, Maven, Cargo, and Universal Packages

Infrastructure team use case:
