My primary use case for TFS is to track source code changes, including branching, merging, and comparing changes. I also use it to check in and out code, track changes, and maintain a history of modifications.
I've worked with TFS for source control and Agile project management. We also used TFS for seamless team collaboration and tracking. I used TFS for a couple of years. Now, we use Azure DevOps. It's a wonderful tool for source control and CI/CD pipelines.
My company uses the product for some of our developers who develop software on a server, after which they need to import it before collaborating with their teams. In general, the development team in our company uses the product.
We do a user story for a use case, which is like a snapshot of one pass through a use case. We tend to align them with the branches in Git. We have story branches created in Git and edited in TFS, which correspond to user stories based on a use case.

We use the solution for creating a by-log and setting up the IPV. Also, we use it for the two-part deployment process. It helps us with application life cycle management and task management.
TFS is useful for managing the code, such as code versioning, and managing where we store our soft-coding repository, which is where we can manage the versioning with the owner. The main purpose of using TFS is for managing our soft-coding, branching, and tracking of our different branches.
We use TFS for manual testing in our labs and as an automation tool., basically use TFS and we have the shared for that. The TFS was previously used for the build repository, but we have moved away from using it and we use other tools for builds. We are moving towards JIRA for other activities, such as cascade management, and test automation management.

We use TFS for all of our source code. We develop a software suite with about eight different applications that work together, and then we also do firmware development. We use it for our firmware development source code repository. It is deployed on a private server. We've gone all the way from version 2012 up to 2017, and we will be doing the 2019 upgrade very soon.
We use this solution mostly for our clients. It's a lifecycle management tool. We use it for the entire lifecycle of software development. Then we deliver it, and use it for production support. Basically, you can always use it for your requirements, as well as to track the health of your project.

The primary use for TFS is for event planning, including things like writing the user story and then assigning tasks to the developers. Another task is writing test cases, then recording test results, and sending bugs to the team members. The third thing is that we use TFS as part of our CICD pipeline. As part of our pipeline, we use it for checking in code and it acts as a repository. This leads to the fourth thing we use it for, which is to move the code from dev to QA to production. Essentially, we establish a complete lifecycle using TFS. We also use it in conjunction with Azure DevOps.
