Transcript Visual Studio “Whidbey”

The Visual Studio Vision
Build the right product for customers
Reduce development complexity
Improve software team communication
Foster a vibrant partner ecosystem
The Software Lifecycle
What We’ve Heard
 “Building software today is very
difficult”
 “My team is spread out and
specialized”
 “Tools today don’t work well together”
 “I need to be able to predict the
success of my projects”
 “My organization needs customizable
process guidance”


Reduce complexity
through operations
knowledge
Pockets of information within disciplines
Unclear delineation of responsibilities
Conflicting best practices and architectures
Conflicting strategic goals and objectives
Core Tenets to Success

Tools need to…



…reduce the complexity of delivering
modern service-oriented solutions
…be tightly integrated and facilitate better
team collaboration
…enable customization and extensibility
by organizations and ISVs

Problem Space

Customers have communication problems
between

Architects and Developers


Development and Operations


Deployment problems caught too late
Customers recognize value of modeling tools




Developers do not work within architectural guidelines
Visualization of designs
Higher level abstractions simply design and development
Generation `of code and other artifacts can improve
productivity
Modeling tools have poor history of success


Positive: good for documentation
Negative: CASE baggage, round-tripping complexities,
not used for software development

Problem Space

Customers lack predictability and
productivity in the lifecycle of their
applications




Customers are forced to context switch
between coding and lifecycle and other
engineering activities
Customers are forced to use multiple tools
Customers are forced to enter project-specific
data many different times in many different
places
Customers want to avoid defects

Defects are caught late, sometimes too late for
action

Team Test Edition
Problem Space


Poorly written applications reflect poorly on
the platform
Testers are underserved and second class
in Microsoft’s tools



Testing tools products lag behind Visual Studio
Little integrated support for developer testing;
defects are caught late, sometimes too late for
action
Testing is not integrated into the lifecycle



Developer Tools and Testing Tools vendors are
rarely the same
Testing is isolated from development by
processes and tools
There is no common vocabulary or view of data
for rich analytics

Fragmented information




Communication is manual




Can’t relate and query work items, work, processes and
artifacts
Tools sets are incomplete or poorly integrated
Difficulty integrating tools with existing infrastructure
People use the phone or face-to-face
Information is not captured
Distributed development aggravates the problem
Life cycle tools are expensive and complex



Tools are difficult to learn and use
Developers view tools as “overhead”
Administration costs are high
