Hello, my name is Patricia Wagner and I'm an employee of Microsoft. I work in the Cloud+Enterprise division as a content publisher for Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server, and Application Lifecycle Management products. We are reviewing Wikipedia articles that relate to our areas and would like to update some to better represent the current state and features of our products. Please review the changes below and let me know if they are acceptable to you. Thank you very much for your consideration.

We are suggesting these edits to:

• Update current row for Microsoft Test Manager.
• Add a new row for Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services (new) because they have test capabilities that don’t require Test Manager.
• Update product names and versions.
• Fix typo in "Team Foundation Serve".
• Propose friendlier tone to replace “formal speak”.
• Propose replacing “interface” to describe Test Manager, which is just a tool that “works with” TFS and Team Services.
• Clarified ambiguous pronouns.
• Added links to existing Wikipedia pages and sections.
