Roadmap
The patterns & practices team is working with the Visual Studio Team Architect team to enhance the functionality provided by the Guidance Automation Extensions and Guidance Automation Toolkit to provide a strong foundation for the Software Factories initiative and integrate with future releases of Visual Studio. There are no planned updates to GAT or GAX for Visual Studio 2005.
