Testing Tools
Visual Studio 2010 Premium comes with standard testing tools to help ensure the delivery of quality code every time. Take advantage of coded UI tests, which automate the testing of user interfaces in Web and Windows-based applications, as well as unit testing, code coverage, and test impact analysis.

Database Development
Database development requires the same care and attention as application development. Visual Studio 2010 Premium recognizes this, and provides deployment and change-management tools that help ensure that your database and application are always in sync.

Debugging and Diagnostics
Code analysis tools help you avoid common coding errors before they get into production. You can quickly configure code analysis in Visual Studio 2010 Premium with sets of rules that are targeted at specific scenarios or areas of emphasis. Additionally, code metrics ensure that your code is not complex and is maintainable.

Integrated Development Environment
Visual Studio 2010 Premium puts you in control or your digital workspace. Take advantage of customizable features like support for multi-monitor, so you can organize and manage your work however you want. You can also unleash your creativity by utilizing visual designers to leverage the latest platforms, including Windows 7.

Development Platform Support
Bring your vision to life with Visual Studio 2010 Premium on a wide range of platforms including Windows, Windows Server, Web, Cloud, Office and SharePoint, and more, all in a single IDE.

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
Building successful applications requires a smooth-running process that benefits all team participants. The integrated ALM tools in Visual Studio 2010 Premium help organizations collaborate and communicate effectively at every level and gain visibility into real project status, thus ensuring the delivery of high-quality solutions while driving down costs.

Team Foundation Server
Team Foundation Server (TFS) is the collaboration platform at the core of Microsoft's application lifecycle management solution. TFS automates and streamlines the software delivery process, as well as provides full traceability and real-time visibility into project status, for all team members, with powerful reporting tools and dashboards.

Automate UI testing
Coded UI testing enables you to automate user interface testing in Web and Windows-based applications. These regression tests ensure that subsequent changes to the code do not break sections that already work.

Identify test impact from code changes
The code coverage tools in Visual Studio 2010 Premium ensure that you have tests that cover all of your code. Test impact analysis provides a list of recommended tests to run after a code change was made, enabling more accurate verification of your code thus reducing the number of tests you need to run.

Simplify database development
Apply the same lifecycle tools to your database development tasks that you do to your application code, including: offline development of database schema, the use of source code control to persist versioned database schema information, and participation in Agile or other process methodologies.

Discover common coding errors
Code analysis tools in Visual Studio 2010 Premium help you avoid common coding errors before they get into production. Code metrics measure the complexity of your code, ensuring that it is not complex and is maintainable.

Generate realistic test data
Sometimes, for privacy or other reasons, you don't want to use real data while developing. In Visual Studio 2010 Premium you can use database test data generation to fill a test database with test data that is appropriate for the schema of the database and that is related to the production data, but is not the actual data.
