In this session of our conversation, Bridging The Gap Between Developers and Testers Using Visual Studio 2010, Etienne and Vincent work through a situation that we are all very familiar with – a bug in production code! But how do we deal with defects in code after modifications have been made in support of new features? Branch the code. Etienne and Vincent explore the concept of branching and then show us how to branch code in a project.

With that, Etienne and Vincent, back to you.
