Anyway to test the TFS Api without installing local TFS Server

Question

I need to write a proof of concept with the TFS API (fetching data from tfs server regarding workitems and put this data in our tables).

Can Any body suggest a way to do this without setting up my own TFS Server.

Answer 1

You can just set up one on the MS Cloud TFS which is now on tfs.visualstudio.com (previously called TFSPreview.com.

With TFS, your code is accessible from anywhere. You can check in code directly from Visual Studio and Eclipse, or you can use command-line tools to check in your code from Xcode and other IDEs. Since it's all in the cloud, your team can get started quickly with no infrastructure to manage.
