Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN also includes the most hours of Azure compute time, non Visual Studio access to Team Foundation Server through Teamprise, and Test and Lab Manager software. See the MSDN comparison chart for details. Building successful applications requires a smooth-running process that benefits all team participants. The integrated ALM tools in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 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. Debugging and Diagnostics Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate introduces IntelliTrace, a valuable debugging feature that makes the "no repro" discussion a thing of the past. Testers can file rich, actionable bugs so developers can always reproduce the reported bug in the state it was found. Other features include static code analysis, code metrics, and profiling. Testing Tools Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate comes loaded with all of our advanced 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 manual testing, Test Professional, Web performance testing, load testing, code coverage, and other comprehensive features not found in other Visual Studio editions. Architecture and Modeling The Architecture Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate helps you understand your existing code assets and their interdependencies. Layer diagramming helps ensure architectural compliance and allows you to validate code artifacts against the diagram. Plus Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate supports the five most common UML diagrams that live alongside your code. Database Development Database development requires the same care and attention as application development. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate recognizes this, and provides robust deployment and change-management tools that help ensure that your database and application are always in sync. Integrated Development Environment Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate puts you in the driver's seat. 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 Whether you're creating new solutions or enhancing existing applications, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate lets you bring your vision to life on a wide range of platforms including Windows, Windows Server, Web, Cloud, Office and SharePoint, and more, all in a single IDE. 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. Lab Management Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate offers a full suite of test lab features including provisioning environments from templates, virtual environment setup and teardown, and checkpoint environments. (Lab Management will be available as a Release Candidate at RTM and will ship later in the calendar year.) Eliminate 'no repro' with IntelliTrace The new IntelliTrace feature makes the "no-repro" discussion a thing of the past. Testers can file rich and actionable bugs with system information, and even include an environment snapshot. That way developers can reproduce the reported bug in the state it was found. Understand existing architecture The Architecture Explorer helps you understand and unleash the value of your existing code assets and their inter-dependencies. You can produce detailed models of exactly how an application is constructed and even drill-down into specific areas for a deeper understanding. Ensure architectural compliance Use the new layer diagram to define and communicate logical application architecture and to validate code artifacts against the required architecture. Layer diagrams help your development efforts stay on track so your application conforms to your original vision. Embrace Manual Testing Visual Studio Test Professional 2010, part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, provides you with a single tool to capture and update test requirements, automate navigation of manual tests, and speed up the fix and accept cycle by capturing the entire test context. This provides developers with everything they need to ensure that every error is reproducible. Be proactive about agile project management Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is optimized for today's iterative development process with features that help you remain productive and react to potential risks before they happen. You can monitor the health of your project using reports that are automatically generated. Plus manage your project's capacity with historical data and Microsoft Excel-based planning documents. |
