Cowabunga! Visual Studio ALM Rangers Readiness “GIG” goes RTM!

With the RTM of Visual Studio 2012 and our Readiness “GIG”, we enter the next chapter in our mission to accelerate the adoption of Visual Studio with out-of-band ALM Ranger solutions for feature gaps and value-add guidance for the ALM community.

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK all ALM Rangers for their phenomenal work across the ALM Ranger solutions and their tenacity and endless passion invested for the ALM community. I am humbled and proud of what we have achieved during FY12 and am really looking forward to an exciting FY13.
