What's new in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium
Database Development Made Easy
Apply the same life-cycle tools to your database code that you apply to your application code. This includes offline development of database schema, use source code control to persist versioned database schema information and participation in Agile or other process methodologies and use of the associated work items.
Identify Test Impact from Code Changes
Test Impact Analysis provides a list of recommended tests to run after a code change was made. Developers know immediately which tests are impacted by a given code change and testers know exactly which tests to run to verify a given build.
Profile Application Performance
Measure the performance of your applications and locate performance bottlenecks in CPU utilization, Memory consumption, database interactions, Jscript/Ajax call patterns and concurrency synchronization. Use the performance profiler in conjunction with Load Testing to identify performance bottlenecks under stress and load.
Discover Common Coding Errors
Code Analysis is now simple to configure with customizeable rule sets that can be targeted at specific scenarios or areas of emphasis. Enforce rule sets with the code analysis checkin policy to reduce common coding errors in application or database code before they get into production.
Automate User Interface Testing
Use Coded User Interface Tests to automate the testing of UI elements in your applications. Visual Studio 2010 automatically generates test code that can be executed manually or incorporated as part of your build process to automate UI regression testing.
Generate Realistic Test Data
Use data generation to fill a test database with data that is appropriate for the schema of the database but unrelated to the production data.
Test First Development Made Easy
Focus on your application logic while all the stub code necessary for your unit tests to compile is generated by Visual Studio.
