Foundational Session: The future VS ALM

A quick summary of the Foundational Session presented by Cameron Skinner. This is all about Visual Studio "vNext"

• Inteletrace in production <= this is like a "vcr" for your app. It replays the steps that were used in creating the error. This can then be run in VS





• TFS Portal has some new very powerful time/asset management tools




• Search for cloned code or similar code




• TFS items will be able to be searched easier




• New code review tool that has a very cool "diff" feature, where the changed code is right on top of the original




• A new tab called a provincial tab that contains the latest window but doesn't remain open after you are finished with it




• New feedback session tool, this is great for recording clicks and submitting screen shots. "Actionable"


• Oh yeah, one other very cool thing: There will be, in Team Navigator, a "pause" feature, which will allow you to save off what your working on, including break points, windows that are open, and other stuff, as well as your code. Then work on something else, then when you are ready you can "unpause" and it will load your windows, break points, code, etc back into Visual Studio.
