dbMaestro’s TeamWork has a closely coupled integration with VSTS, providing a more complete solution for software project development and deployment. VSTS customers now have the ability to track database modifications in tandem with application source code changes resulting in entire projects being deployed in a process-controlled, audited and compliant fashion.
TeamWork is a database development management solution that provides developers and DBAs a traditional source control management (SCM) model for database development. TeamWork extends the check-in/check-out metaphor to database objects. Under TeamWork control, database schemas object and relevant data are locked (in read-only mode), until a developer actually checks-out an object and then makes a change to it. The developer can then check-in the new object, which is locked again.
The key features of the integrated solution are:
- Correlate Microsoft VSTS projects with TeamWork projects.
- Link database changes/updates (TeamWork check-ins) with VSTS work items.
- Save extended information about database activities within VSTS.
- Deploy database modifications in tandem with MS work items.
The integrated solution provides a single point of management (and audit) for application source and database changes. Users have access to aggregated information about code and database changes within VSTS. Other important benefits include a single vocabulary to drill down into project tasks and impact analysis (what was changed when feature X was developed or bug Y fixed – from code and database perspectives) and a single process to achieve code and database deployment based on Microsoft VSTS definitions (activities and work items).
