Currently, TFS integration supports the Microsoft technologies listed below:

• Team Foundation Server:

  • Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2018, 2017 Update 2, 2017 Update 1, 2015, 2015 Update 1 (learn more).

    Notes: 
    If you use TFS 2018, be aware of its substantial changes:
    • XAML Build has been deprecated. Furthermore, Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) no longer supports XAML builds
    • Using Test Center/Lab Center in MTM for automated testing is no longer supported by TFS, starting with TFS 2018. Accordingly Build vNext and the Test Hub in the TFS web portal are ideal replacements for respective XAML Build and MTM.(See also: Team Foundation Server 2018 Release Notes)
