ARCast.TV - Improving Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio Team System

Bob Familiar — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:50:00 GMT

In this interview with Zhiming Xue at Microsoft, Mike Snell, VP Solution Services at CEI, Microsoft Regional Director and co-author of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Unleashed book, discusses five key issues that typically exist in the application lifecycle management (ALM) process – requirements tracking, code review, unit testing, automated testing (aka black box testing), and continuous integration. Mike speaks each of these five issues from his extensive customer experience and offers his domain expert views and recommended practices, including use of Microsoft tools and systems such as VS 2008 Team System, Team Foundation Server, MSBuild and some non-Microsoft tools such as Ravenflow and RequisitePro for advanced requirements management. If you are interested in improving the ALM process at your organization or for your team, check out this video and let us know what you think.

Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and Software Security Today

Charles — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:49:00 GMT

The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team recently released two new security tools, BinScope Binary Analyzer and MiniFuzz File Fuzzer, to help you write more secure code. Jeremy Dallman, Michael Howard, and Ivan Medvedev created these tools so we decided to pay them a visit to chat about what these tools do and why they matter. Of course, it's been way too long since Michael Howard has preached to us from his security soapbox so we just had to get him talking about the general state of software security today and where it's going!

For the Microsoft SDL team, SDL is as much a lifestyle as it is a software development lifecycle. Developers, thrive securely so that others may securely thrive. Oh yeah, brothers and sisters. I'm sensing the need for a security soapbox show on 9. We need more preaching. There's still far too many developers writing insecure code. "Reverend" Howard, are you game, sir?

Get BinScope and MiniFuzz on SDL Tool Repository. Please use them!!!

10-4 Episode 30: Database Schema Extensibility

Brian Keller — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:41:00 GMT

Visual Studio Team System 2005 saw the introduction of the Team Edition for Database Professionals product, which allows database developers to perform such functions as version control, unit testing, test data generation, refactoring and more against SQL Server databases. In Visual Studio Team System 2010, Microsoft made this area of the product extensible in order to support 3rd party databases. Quest Software is hard at work on a database schema provider to support Oracle database development from within Visual Studio Team System 2010.

In this 10-4 episode I sat down with Daniel Norwood of Quest Software to get an early look at "Project Fuze."

Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle Template

Larry Larsen — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:45:00 GMT

The Microsoft SDL Process Template is a new process template for Visual Studio Team System intended to ease adoption of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle. The template integrates the SDL directly into your software development environment, provides auditable security requirements and status, and demonstrates security return on investment.

I stopped by the Microsoft Security group and spoke with Jeremy Dallman about the SDL, and what it means for developers. The Process Template is free and can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/SDL/.
