1. SESSION CODE: DEV203 Introducing Visual Studio 2010: What It Is and Why You Should Care David Chappell Principal Chappell & Associates

2. Agenda • Understanding Visual Studio 2010: The Big Picture • Using Visual Studio 2010 • Adopting Visual Studio 2010

3. Understanding Visual Studio 2010: The Big Picture

4. Tools for Software DevelopmentAn evolution 1980s-1990s 1970s-1980s 1990s-2000s Editors Integrated development environments (IDEs) Compilers Team development tools Build tools Version control tools Testing tools Reporting and tracking tools

5. Illustrating Visual Studio 2010 Eclipse IDE Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 Visual Studio 2010 IDE Expression Studio Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 Microsoft Test Manager 2010 Web Browser SharePoint Microsoft Excel Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 Microsoft Project Visual Studio 2010 Other Microsoft Other Vendors and Open Source

7. Using Visual Studio 2010

8. Managing Requirements/User Stories • VS 2010 doesn’t define how requirements/user stories should be gathered • It does define how they’re managed • Using Requirement/User Story work items • Which can be linked to other work items • This provides requirements traceability Requirement Y Bug Requirement X Task Test Case Task Test Case Bug Task Test Case Task Test Case Bug Bug Task Test Case Test Case Bug Bug Test Case

9. Managing Requirements/User StoriesExample: Accessing User Story and Task work items from Excel User story Tasks linked to that user story

10. Architecting the Solution • Visual Studio 2010 supports UML modeling • With Class, Sequence, UseCase, Activity, and Component diagrams • A UML diagram can be linked to a TFS work item • Such as linking a UseCase diagram to a Requirement • Other design/visualization tools include: • Layer Explorer for creating layer diagrams • Architecture Explorer for creating dependency graphs • More

11. Architecting the SolutionAn example layer diagram

12. Architecting the SolutionAn example dependency graph

13. Writing CodeToolkits and designers • VS 2010 includes toolkits for: • SharePoint development • Office development • Windows Azure development • It also includes: • The WPF and Silverlight Designer • The Workflow Designer for creating WF workflows • The O/R Designer for creating LINQ to SQL object model mappings • More

14. Writing CodeTools for writing better code • Unit testing framework • Static code analysis • Examines code for security holes and more • Dynamic code analysis • Performance profiling • Code coverage, showing what’s being tested • Code metrics • Measuring complexity and maintainability • Debugging support • Including IntelliTrace

15. Writing CodeAccessing TFS information with Team Explorer User story This developer’s tasks linked to that user story Details about that user story

16. Testing Code • VS 2010 has lots of support for testing • It’s important • This release introduces Microsoft Test Manager (MTM), supporting: • Creating and managing test suites • Running manual tests • Running automated tests • More

17. Testing CodeGathering test results • Testers must provide good diagnostic data about bugs • So developers can reproduce, diagnose, and fix those bugs • VS 2010 provides diagnostic data adapters to do this R Application Under Test Visual Studio 2010 IDE 1) Run test T Test Agent 2) Return test results and diagnostic data Microsoft Test Manager Diagnostic Data Adapters (DDAs) Tester Test Controller

18. Testing CodeExample DDAs • IntelliTrace: Creates a detailed trace of an application’s execution, which a developer can replay • Action Recording: allows recording and replaying a manual test • Event Log: Collects information written to event logs during the test • Video Recorder: Records the screen of the computer the tested app is running on • Test Impact: Allows test impact analysis

19. Testing Code Using MTM: Examining a requirement’s test cases Requirement Tests linked to that requirement

20. Testing Code Illustrating Lab Management • Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 allows creating and managing VMs for a test lab • VMs can be created from predefined templates • The Lab Management client is part of MTM VM System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Lab Manager Lab Management Microsoft Test Manager Team Foundation Server

21. Testing CodeUsing MTM and Lab Management: Preparing to run tests Lab Management T T T T 1) Create test lab VMs T T T T Lab Manager Test Case Management 2) Create test plan DDAs Test Management Test Agent Test Agent Test Agent DDAs DDAs Microsoft Test Manager Team Foundation Server VM VM VM

22. Testing CodeUsing MTM: Running tests Build Management T T T T 1) Create and deploy test build T T T T R Test Case Management 2) Run test cases Test Management Test Agent Test Agent Test Agent DDAs DDAs DDAs 5) Access test resultsand diagnostic data 4) Return test results and diagnostic data Microsoft Test Manager Team Foundation Server 3) Execute tests, collecting test results and diagnostic data Test Controller

23. Testing CodeUsing MTM: Running manual tests Test runner Application under test

24. Testing CodeOptions for automated tests • Visual Studio 2010 supports several kinds of automated tests Coded UI Tests Web Performance Tests Unit Tests Database Unit Tests T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T User Interface Business Logic Database

25. Testing CodeIllustrating load testing Web Performance Tests Load Test Virtual User Pack Test Agent T T T T Test Agent T T Test Controller T T Test Agent T T T T Test Agent T T T T

26. Managing and Tracking the Project • VS 2010 provides: • Reports created using Excel or SQL Server Reporting Services • Dashboards created using SharePoint • The available reports and dashboards depend on what process template is used • They can also be customized

27. Managing and Tracking the ProjectExample report: Stories Overview Percentof work completed User stories Summary of current test results

28. Managing and Tracking the Project Example dashboard: Quality Code churn Bug reactivations Test plan progress
