Introduction to Visual Studio Team System

[LINK]

200

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast details an end-to-end software development lifecycle scenario that demonstrates major components of Team System and illustrates the value to the team of having a customizable integrated process in breaking down silos of information and providing friction-free flow of data between team roles.

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast covers the tools and technologies available to support the Team Architect in their role. We examine the Distributed Systems Designer, Logical Datacenter Designer and the System Definition Model in detail. We also look at how the Architect can begin the code generation process by using the Class Designer tools.

How and Why Process Guidance Matters in Visual Studio 2005 Team System

[LINK]

200

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS) allows teams to select a process template to shape how the team works together. This session will help you understand key considerations in selecting the template best suited to your team and the project you are working on. Learn how process templates affect the way VSTS works and why it is important for your team to select the appropriate process for your projects.

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast will detail the tools and technologies available to support the Team Tester in their role. We look at best test case scenarios and unit tests, and show how to check for code completeness with the code coverage tools. We also examine the various types of reporting that are available in Team Test.

Implementing and Customizing MSF 4.0 Process Guidance within Visual Studio 2005 Team System

[LINK]

200

Visual Studio Team System provides a rich environment and integrated support for software development processes. While this new development platform ships with two predefined software development processes, some organizations will choose to incorporate their own "secret sauce" to add competitive advantage. This presentation and demonstration will show you how to make modifications to the existing processes, Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development and MSF for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Process Improvement, as well to incorporate your software development process into Microsoft Visual Studio Team System.

Test-Driven Development Using Visual Studio Team System

[LINK]

200

Why test-driven development? Although developers have been unit testing their code for years, tests are typically performed after the code is designed and written. As a great number of developers can attest, writing tests after the fact is difficult to do and often omitted when time runs out. Test-driven development attempts to resolve this problem and produce higher quality, well-tested code by putting the cart before the horse and writing the tests before we write the code. This webcast demonstrates how you can use Microsoft Visual Studio Team System to implement test-driven development in your organization. Jim Newkirk, author of "Test Driven Development with .NET", will be discussing how you can use Visual Studio Team System to implement test driven development in your organization.
