'''Azure DevOps Server''', formerly known as '''Team Foundation Server''' ('''TFS''') and '''Visual Studio Team System''' ('''VSTS'''), is a [[Microsoft]] product that provides [[version control]] (either with [[#TFVC|Team Foundation Version Control]] (TFVC) or [[Git (software)|Git]]), reporting, [[requirements management]], [[project management]] (for both [[agile software development]] and [[waterfall model|waterfall team]]s), automated builds, [[software testing|testing]] and [[release management]] capabilities. It covers the entire [[Application Lifecycle Management|application lifecycle]] and enables [[DevOps]] capabilities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/fda2bad5(v=vs.120).aspx |title=Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server |year=2013 |website=[[Microsoft Developer Network|MSDN]] |publisher=Microsoft |access-date=2013-10-15}}</ref> Azure DevOps can be used as a back-end to numerous [[integrated development environment]]s (IDEs) but is tailored for [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] and [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] on all platforms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413285.aspx |title=Adopting Team Explorer Everywhere |publisher=Microsoft |website=[[MSDN]] |date=28 April 2015 |access-date=26 May 2017}}</ref>

Using Git does not preclude the benefit of using Azure DevOps work item or build system. When checking code in with Git, referencing the work item ID in the check-in comment will associate the check-in with the given work item. Likewise, Team Build will also build Git projects.

One of the major reasons to use Azure DevOps as a Git repository is that it is backed by SQL Server and is afforded the same protection as Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC){{clarify|date=September 2024}}. This gives developers some choices when choosing the type of project and work style that works best for them.
