The great majority of software today is created by teams. Given this reality, modern software development to ols are used primarily by people working together . One approach to designing these tools is to create a separate tool for each part of the development process. Everyone on the team might then agree to use a particular tool for versioning source code, ano ther for tracking bugs, and a third for managing tests. This approach can certainly work — it’s much better than having no tools at all. But what happens when a developer needs to determine which test found a particular bug in code that addresses a specific requirement ? Or what if a project manager wants to get a view of the project’s overall code quality over time, looking at bug counts, test progress, code churn, and more? Answering these kinds of questions requires integration across the team’s tool set. Even though each tool might be great at what it does, development with a set of disconnected tools has limit s . An alternative approach is to create an integrated set of development tools explicitly designed to work together . While a particular member of th is tool set might not have every feature found in a standalone version of that tool, the connections between the tools let the team work more effectively. Answering questions that span tools gets easier , as does handing off work between different team memb ers . S ince the goal is to optimize the development process as a whole, this integrated approach can make the process of creating software significantly more effective. Achieving this is the goal of Visual Studio 2010. This latest release of Microsoft’s fl agship development environment aims at providing a unified set of tools for a variety of development needs. The intent is to be useful in a range of situations, from a large development team spread across three continents to a solo developer working on her own . It’s meant to be a modern foundation for what’s become known as Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) . Visual Studio 2010 is the successor to both Visual Studio 2008 and Vi sual Studio Team System 2008. ( Microsoft chose to drop the “Team System” labe l with this release . ) The product is large, and so it’s available in several different configurations, each with a specific set of functionality. How those configurations look and what’s in each one is described at the end of this paper. The goal now is to describe Visual Studio 2010 as a whole, painting the big picture of what this technology family is and how it can be used. UN DERST AN DI NG VI SUAL ST UDI O 2 0 1 0 Modern software development is anything but simple. Accordingly, the tools that support today’s dev elopment teams have many moving parts , and Visual Studio 2010 is no exception. One way to get a handle on this product family is to start with a broad look at the components and how they fit together . Once we’ve done this, we can look more closely at the p iece that ties everything else together: Team Foundation Se
