Agenda and Goals of This Session> Motivations and objectives for

integrating Runtime Intelligence and Visual Studio 2010

> Demonstration and code walk> Key takeaways and summary

Runtime Intelligence

> Application, feature-usage, & environmental data collected from the field> Dotfuscator (Suite and CE in Visual Studio

2010) injects instrumentation> Runtime Intelligence Service aggregates,

analyzes and distributes runtime intelligence data allowing you to make better decisions faster.

Motivations and objectives> Improve software quality and

developer productivity> Higher return on development

investments> http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/10-4/10-4-

Episode-35-PreEmptive-Solutions-Runtime-Intelligence/

“With Visual Studio 2010 and Runtime Intelligence, usage data can be surfaced throughout the development lifecycle for all developers

to help them further improve software quality based on real-world usage patterns.“

Jason Zander, general manager Visual Studio at Microsoft Corp.

“Developers no longer need to rely solely on spotty support tickets and in-house testing to gauge what features are really being used and to what end.” – Gabriel Torok

Helping You Build Better Software

• Application, Versions, Features, and Methods

What’s Running?

• Stability, Performance, and Patterns / Practices

How’s it Doing?

• Hosted vs non-hosted, across application versions

How’s it Compare

?

• Business Outcome, and R&D ROI

Is it Making a

Difference?

• Measure stability and quality• Measure usage, patterns and coverage• Reduce end user burden and improve

participation

Beta Cycle

• Automate end-user experience improvement program

• Measure business impact• Measure and improve R&D ROI

Production Lifecycle

• Connect usage to sales cycle• Manage de-activation and/or extension

Evaluation Process

Use Case Scenarios

Any extension of Visual Studio should provide actionable value, not just eye candy.

Key Takeaways> Our integration not possible with VS

2008.> Amount of work to enable extension is

very reasonable – most work is in data management, parser, WPF controls, etc.

> WPF makes it easy to look like a rock star.

> If you can’t sing get a voice coach. Involve a UI Designer to help you look like a rock star.

> “No blinky tags”

In Summary> Two predictions for when we meet

here again at the next PDC:1. Many of you will be using runtime

intelligence to make better decisions faster.

2. There will be lots of cool VS2010 code editor extensions available.
