Visual Studio Team System by Chris Bowen On Tuesday, May 2, Chris Bowen will be presenting Visual Studio Team System as part of the Western Mass Dot Net User Group's ongoing open computer series. This is a great place to meet other people who share an interest in computer technology both as users and developers. Emphasis is on PC platforms and Window's related software. ========================================================================= Visual Studio Team System offers a wide variety of integrated tools and technologies to help improve the process of developing software. You'll see how integrated unit testing will make your code more reliable and maintainable, how static code analysis will help identify problems in your code and how profiling can identify performance bottlenecks - before your users do. We'll also cover the extensive web and load testing features of Team System. Along the way, you'll see how Team Foundation Server works to integrate these activities, tracking work items, storing code, collecting data and generating reports.
