Check out Jason Zander talking with Richard Campbell about Visual Studio v.Next, specifically the upcoming ALM features.

Summary: The next generation of ALM brings stakeholders, developers and IT Pros closer together with new tooling, including connections to PowerPoint to allow stakeholders to build mock-ups of workflows, screens and other design elements that connect directly with ALM work items. On the operations side, the new ALM features connect to System Center Operations Manager, enabling operations personnel to report directly into Visual Studio any incidents in the operations of an application, including stack traces and current performance monitor data to speed the analysis and repair of production challenges.

ALM tools are critical for planning, development, testing, and maintenance of native code bases of every size. Visual Studio Ultimate offers many “out of the box” features for efficiently and easily managing a C++ code base. At Tech Ed North America, Terry Leeper and Rong Lu will be showing off these useful features and giving C++ developers a sneak peak at what's coming...

You should definitely check out the session if you are at Tech Ed. If not, you can watch the full session right here in a couple of days.

Can't wait that long? Well, no problem. Terry and Rong came to the C9 Studio a few days ago to share some of what they'll be talking about at Tech Ed in Atlanta. They've done some great work in VC10, but ALM tools for C++ developers in the next version of Visual Studio will be better, taking architectural visualization, unit testing (yes!), andmore to the next level for C++ developers. 

Tune in. The C++ Renaissance at Microsoft continues to be televised on Channel 9. 

Enjoy.

Jonathan Rozenblit, and my fellow Developer Evangelists, Christian Beauclair and John Bristowe, as we host this series of Development-oriented sessions. We’ll use real-world examples to demonstrate how you can minimize the time, cost, and risk of developing custom software applications.

This session demonstrates how third-party tools extend the functionality shipped with Team Foundation Server. Joel Semeniuk, Executive VP of Telerik and co-founder of Imaginet shares real world stories of working with Agile and features Telerik's TeamPulse, a solution for Agile project management with Team Foundation Server.

Delivering high quality software is a risky undertaking. Development and Quality Assurance Managers are in a tight partnership over the war against software bugs. Software quality issues not only delay the time to market for a solution while increasing costs, but they also delay the subsequent benefits to the business. In a business world of increasing focus on compliance and control, Development and QA Managers must balance the need for agility against the reality of quality control. High quality software is the outcome of applying the combination of sound methodologies, best practices and supportive tooling.

This session will outline how to deliver high quality software through Agile and will demonstrate how to apply its practices to your projects and having them supported through tools like Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server.

Development teams are constantly challenged to deliver highly secure, quality software in an environment of growing business demand and quick time-to-market. No matter what solution is being developed, from client software to applications that take advantage of the Cloud, development managers are looking toward holistic software development approaches and best practices to help create an efficient and effective development process.

This session concentrates on these processes and explores how the Microsoft platform will help you and your team in conquering these development challenges.

In this first One on One with Visual Studio conversation, we’re joined by two of Canada’s experts on Visual Studio and ALM (application lifecycle management). Etienne Tremblay and Vincent Grondin will be talking to you about how Visual Studio’s extensive integrated tools make you more effective and efficient, allowing you to collaborate better with the rest of your project team. They’ll show you how testing tools like MS Test, IntelliTrace, and Coded UI make it easier for you to test, and test often, while not increasing your workload; about Team Foundation Server’s work item management and it facilitates better communication between you, the testers, project managers, and development managers; Team Foundation Server’s version control, lab management, and team build tools and how they can automate many of the manual tasks that you’re required to do today; and lastly, about Visual Studio Test Professional’s Test Manager and Test Runner so that you can do your part in reducing testing efforts and as a resut, faster time to market.
