Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server offers a lot of goodies like source control, unit testing and automatic building.

I'm wondering the following: What alternatives are there for .NET developers that has all of this?

We're using

  • Subversion
  • TortoiseSVN
  • CruiseControl.Net (with NAnt)
  • Confluence and Jira (http://www.atlassian.com/)
  • Nunit
  • Microsoft enterprise library

It would be interesting to know how this product suite compares to TS/TFS

well, it appears to me much cheaper ;-)

Not realy true since Visual Studio ALM (used to be Team System) is now included with ALL MSDN subscriptions. And not just the Client, the server is also included and a licence to run SQL Server as long as its only use is for TFS. So its FREE :)

Source Control

Unit testing

Automated builds

Also check out Gallio, which has the aim of providing a common platform for multiple tools to plug into and use services from
