Visual studio vnext

At the TechEd conference taking place today, Microsoft finally opened the maps to the next version of Visual Studio (codename so far - vNext). The main development vectors were indicated, five major features were announced and a couple of screenshots were shown. If there is a desire - you can read about this large or even larger document in English, but I will make a short squeeze in Russian. And soon there will be a video, but not yet.

Agile Planning

Microsoft was finally imbued with the idea that the future was behind flexible development technologies. In the TFS web interface, you can see the backlog, the division into sprints and other Scrum attributes. Looks pretty. How usable - on the screenshots is not clear.

Rapid prototyping

Microsoft agreed with the idea that it was not so easy to quickly sketch out a prototype of the application in the Studio to demonstrate to the customer and released a separate tool for this. True, it didn’t do without “Microsoft-way”: the tool is called Storyboarding and is a PowerPoint plugin that adds a number of components to it, the ability to decompose them on a form and attach some events to them (for example, to show that click on this button). will open this form here).

Advanced Feedback

Now it has become much more convenient for the user to tell you what your program is ... a wonderful invention. Record video, audio and log actions, screenshots, web interface for bug fixing, sending and processing emails with bugs. Much, it seems to me, in a reduced form was already in VS 2010, but here, they say, it has become more convenient.

Continuous integration system

Native support for MS Test, xunit and nunit. The ability to connect others. Coverage with both managed and unmanaged code tests.

Good old C ++ returns

Microsoft suddenly realized that their IDE is the only adequate C ++ C ++ IDE on the Windows platform, and, as it were, I didn’t want to promote only C # and VB, and I also need to pay attention to flat advantages. So:

• Advanced static code analyzer (even a few pieces)
• All VS architectural features work correctly for C ++ (various diagrams, dependencies, etc.)
• C ++ support in all testing and metrics tools

PS For the quality of the screenshots do not execute - they are the same on the website of Mikrosoft.
