Visual Studio 2012 contains many new developer tools that enhance standard activities. This session will demonstrate features like unit testing, code reviews, and code clones. Visual Studio 2012 introduces a Metro UI, improves usability, and supports asynchronous processes. Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2012 allows improved task management, version control, and code reviews. Developers can now use local workspaces which improve the offline experience. The Test Explorer supports multiple testing frameworks and running tests on compile. Fakes provide isolation for unit tests through stubs and shims.

11. Version Control Workspaces
Server Workspaces Local Workspaces (New)
• The only type of workspace • Changes tracked locally
available in prior versions for TFS • No Read-Only files
• Changes are tracked server-side • Changes can be easily made
by TFS outside Visual Studio
• Local files are marked read-only • Great Offline Experience
until checked out
• Great Performance (especially
with very large workspaces)

12. Integrated Code Review
• Increase
communications
and quality
• Source changes
highlighted and
comments about
the changes.
• Easy workflow
for requesting
and performing
reviews
• Reviews tracked
in TFS as work
items

13. Code Clone Analysis
• Detect code blocks
with common
structure and
approach
• Search is semantic,
not just literal
• Detects „copy and
paste‟ errors
• Detects code
fragments with a
common logical
structure
• Review common code
and decide how to
proceed

14. DEMONSTRATION
• Visual Studio changes
• Team Explorer and Workflow
• Local Workspaces
• Pending Changes
• Suspend and Resume
• Code Review
• Code Clone Analysis

15. Test Explorer
• Support for multiple unit
testing frameworks
– MS Test
– xUnit
– nUnit
– And more!
• Both .NET and native C++
• Run tests on compile
– Don‟t wait for test results
• Run selected tests
– Failed tests
– Tests that haven‟t been run
– All Tests
• Easily enable code coverage

16. Testing Architecture

17. Testing and Isolation
• Isolation enables your unit
tests to validate targeted
units of code
• Microsoft Fakes
– Based on and replaces
Moles
– Integrated into VS 2012
– Supports detours (Shims)
– Supports Stubs

18. Fakes: Stubs and Shims
• Stubs are concrete implementations of interfaces and
abstract classes that can be passed in to your system
under test
– Developers provide implementation via delegates or lambdas
– Stubs provide simplistic, reproducible responses for you code
• Shims are run-time method interceptors (detours)
– Provide your own implementation for almost any .NET
– Target “legacy” code that was not created for unit testing
– Supports Non-virtual functions
– Isolation from static methods, .NET BCL and types
– “Shims are Evil” (Microsoft‟s Peter Provost)

19. DEMONSTRATION
• Unit Test Runner
• “Continuous testing”
• Using non-Microsoft
testing frameworks
• Isolation with Fakes

20. Summary
• Visual Studio 2012 can improve developer efficiency
– User experience enhancements
– Improved workflow
• Agile planning
• Task management
• Work management
• Local workspaces
• Interrupted workflow
– Facilitates best practices
• Code reviews
