Cognizant’s FDD process is a full-cycle development process based on defining the application as a collection of individual “features”, where each feature is a verifiable client-valued function. It also takes into account well defined roles.

Cognizant FDD integrated with Microsoft VSTS provides the automated process infrastructure for large-scale, feature-driven development that can enhance the productivity and quality with reduced overhead. It also provides a great degree of automation to manage the allocation, tracking and implementation of different features across different roles. This increases the productivity drastically and ensures that the whole team completely adheres to the process and the process is highly automated ensuring less time per feature creation.

Cognizant FDD implementation further proves that it is easy to implement a custom development process using VSTS.
