Tech Ed 2004
Hi there!
We are all very excited with the announcement of Visual Studio 2005 Team System at Tech Ed 2004; and in special to see our very own tools reaching a broader public with the Community Technology Preview that is being distributed in the event.
This team is responsible for the tools that identify defects before they are ever executed: the code analysis tools. Visual Studio 2005 Team System Developer features two static analysis tools: FxCop and PREfast. The first one spots defects on managed code, while the latter targets common defects in C/C++ source-code. Not only are those tools well integrated with the VS IDE, but also in the life-cycle of the software development project through check-in policies or as part of a nightly build process.
Come back often to read about our journey in supporting the software development industry in the creation of robust and reliable applications. We’re looking forward to receiving your feedback and building a strong community to support our code analysis tools.
If you're attending Tech Ed, don't miss Rick LaPlante's session about VS Team System (DEV200) or Eric Lee's presentation about our tools for developers (DEV 302). As I work in the Quality Assurance over here, I cannot help but suggest you should also attend Tom Arnold's talk about the Team System's tools targeted at software testing :) (that one is DEV 301). None of them overlap, you can enjoy them all!
