Burndown progress

Team capacity at a glance

Task Management

• Accessed from the Team Web Access

• Daily and on-going task management from team web access

• Drag-and-drop to change states

• Easy updates for task assignment and remaining work

• View by requirement/PBI or by team member

DEMONSTRATION

• Team Web Access

• Task Board Overview

• State Transitions

• Modifications– Assignment– Hours

• Alternate Views

Visual Studio and Usability

• Metro UI based facelift – Themes (dark & light)

• Asynchronous / background processes– Reduced modal dialogs

• Project compatibility • Quick Launch• Tab pinning• Preview tab• Collapse All• Improved Navigation and

Searching• Graphics editor

• And more…

Team Explorer and Developer Workflow

• Work Item search

• Interesting developer functionality– Suspend / Resume– Code Reviews

• Pages target functionality– My Work– Pending Changes– Work Items– Builds– Reports– Documents– Web Access– Settings

Version Control Workspaces

Server Workspaces

• The only type of workspace available in prior versions for TFS

• Changes are tracked server-side by TFS

• Local files are marked read-only until checked out

• Great Performance (especially with very large workspaces)

Local Workspaces (New)

• Changes tracked locally• No Read-Only files• Changes can be easily made

outside Visual Studio• Great Offline Experience

Integrated Code Review

• Increase communications and quality

• Source changes highlighted and comments about the changes.

• Easy workflow for requesting and performing reviews

• Reviews tracked in TFS as work items

Code Clone Analysis

• Detect code blocks with common structure and approach

• Search is semantic, not just literal

• Detects ‘copy and paste’ errors

• Detects code fragments with a common logical structure

• Review common code and decide how to proceed

DEMONSTRATION

• Visual Studio changes

• Team Explorer and Workflow

• Local Workspaces

• Pending Changes

• Suspend and Resume

• Code Review

• Code Clone Analysis

Test Explorer

• Support for multiple unit testing frameworks– MS Test– xUnit– nUnit– And more!

• Both .NET and native C++

• Run tests on compile– Don’t wait for test results

• Run selected tests– Failed tests– Tests that haven’t been run– All Tests

• Easily enable code coverage

Testing Architecture

Testing and Isolation

• Isolation enables your unit tests to validate targeted units of code

• Microsoft Fakes– Based on and replaces

Moles– Integrated into VS 2012– Supports detours (Shims)– Supports Stubs

Fakes: Stubs and Shims

• Stubs are concrete implementations of interfaces and abstract classes that can be passed in to your system under test– Developers provide implementation via delegates or lambdas– Stubs provide simplistic, reproducible responses for you code

• Shims are run-time method interceptors (detours)– Provide your own implementation for almost any .NET– Target “legacy” code that was not created for unit testing– Supports Non-virtual functions– Isolation from static methods, .NET BCL and types– “Shims are Evil” (Microsoft’s Peter Provost)

DEMONSTRATION

• Unit Test Runner

• “Continuous testing”

• Using non-Microsofttesting frameworks

• Isolation with Fakes

Summary

• Visual Studio 2012 can improve developer efficiency

– User experience enhancements

– Improved workflow• Agile planning • Task management• Work management• Local workspaces• Interrupted workflow

– Facilitates best practices• Code reviews• Unit testing

– Isolation framework
