Microsoft Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers

Today's software systems are comprised of numerous distributed services, spanning platforms, protocols, and programming languages, all with significant impact on the operations environment. Moreover, teams have become increasingly specialized and geographically distributed. Successful deployment of modern solutions depends on bridging the communication gap between development and operations so that the entire IT department is represented early and often throughout the software lifecycle. The new Visual Studio Team System expands significantly on Microsoft's demonstrated successes in delivering highly productive tools, by offering businesses tightly integrated and extensible lifecycle tools to increase the predictability of their software development process. Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers provides integrated unit test and code coverage tools for ensuring the quality of applications, code profiling tools for ensuring the best possible performance of applications; and static code analyzers to diagnose critical security and performance errors before they creep into production.
