Integration with Team Foundation Server (TFS)

[YogaMatt]

Having model elements to represent TFS stories, features etc in Sparx EA will support traceability and agile modelling.
We want to avoid rekeying and dual maintenance of the stories, etc in TFS and EA.
So, does Sparx EA integrate with TFS in such a way that TFS stories, etc are synchronised with model elements in Sparx EA? That is, model elements which are the stories and features, etc.

For anyone else reading this post later, and for completeness, does Sparx EA integrate with TFS for:

• For versioning the code generated from the model?
• For versioning of the model elements?

TFS version control is supported out of the box and works quite fine.
TFS integration for workitems (user stories, features, bugs, etc...) works using the Visual Studio MDG integration, but only up until version 2013 (I think)
VS version 2015 is no longer supported.

As an alternative you can use my free open source EA TFS connector
This tool uses the REST API of TFS so requires no local installation of any part of TFS or Visual Studio (and it support version 2015)

Many thanks Geert. That's brilliant.
