Could anyone give me a short explanation on the differences among bugs, issues, and tasks in TFS?
回答1:
For the Scrum TFS Process Template
Bug- Any problem in existing functionality, or missing functionality. Defect in code or requirement, error which is not designed to be.
Issue (Impediment)- Any problem which might block the development process, example : a third party driver you identified as dependency is not releasing on time, so it is an issue in your development process.
Task- Any work which is planned as part of development of your project, either as result of bug, or issue or requirements, including requirement analysis or development, or testing. etc.
For the Agile TFS Process Template
Bug- A bug communicates that a potential problem exists in the code that your team is developing.
Issue- An event or cause that may delay shipping.
Task- A task communicates the need to do some work. Each team member can define tasks to represent the work that they need to accomplish.

When we used TFS in the past.
ISSUE - Is a problem reported by a user of the software that requires investigation. This could be a code bug or a requirement change (prior to it been made a change request)
BUG - Is a problem "in the code" confirmed by a developer. Information can be provided like possible causes and workarounds. Can be marked as fixed and link to source code check ins.
TASK - Is a work item that is given to people to complete. Such as a feature that needs to be completed. If it is a programming task, it can be linked to source code check ins.
Update
See comment below. Just remember, use the system in a way that benefits your team. Everyone works differently.
ISSUE - Covers everything about the project which may require some work or investigation. It is not necessarily an issue with the code, but it creates a stating point for investigation. If an issue is raised, which requires a change to the project it may lead to a bug or task.
