The document discusses challenges with software development projects and how tools from Microsoft can help address these challenges. It notes that most projects fail or are over budget and challenges include poor requirements gathering and testing. However, tools like Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server that integrate requirements, work tracking, source control, testing and other functions can help make successful projects more possible by facilitating team collaboration. The document outlines features of these tools and how they aim to make application lifecycle management a routine part of development.

3. “ the impossible must become possible. the possible must become routine. the routine must become easy. and the easy must become beautiful.” Doug Henning’s creedo

5. Is it impossible to have a successful, large, team-based, software development project delivered on time and under budget?

6. What percentage of such projects succeed?

10. Individual Productivity Organization Size Desired Actual How can we create team and organizational capacity for innovation?

12. It is possible if we take a new approach to developer tools that recognizes that it takes more than developers to build a solution.

16. How do we take the possibility of successful team development and make it an everyday reality?

20. Designing Applications

21. Validating Architecture

22. Designing Web Services

23. Application Designer Model application components and their communication paths Create artifacts that can be used throughout the development process - no static models Define application deployment needs before you begin construction The Application Designer allows you to define the application components that comprise a service oriented system

24. Logical Datacenter Designer Reduce deployment defects. Share deployment environment information between projects. Captures a datacenter’s policies and logical structure.

25. Deployment Designer Communicate your deployment needs to IT operations Validate your application deployment before construction Help developers understand the deployment environment of the application The Deployment Designer allows you to validate the deployment of an application against a logical view of your data center

26. Class Designer Design first approach to class design. Generate new classes and relationships graphically. Visualize the structure of existing classes, interfaces and other .NET types Automatically generates code from design. Model and code will always be synchronized. Design object models and view class relationships.

27. Class Designer Class Designer and two-way code synch

28. Improving Code Quality Integrated Unit Testing Integrated Static Code analysis Security Errors Localization problems Memory issues … Integrated Profiler Performance problems Memory problems Potential Sql Injection attack Object not Disposed Localization Issue

29. Improving Quality: Profiler Who allocates the most Objects Who allocates the most memory Who is called the most? Who runs for the longest What do you have the most of? What is taking up the most memory

30. Code Metrics Gives a snapshot of software health Understand your code complexity Quickly compare code to find potential trouble spots Reduce risk & improve maintainability Understand complexity of inherited code New in VSTS 2008

31. Metric: Class Coupling # of Dependencies Between Types GUI Business Logic Transaction Customer Account

32. Metric: Class Inheritance # of Base Types Component Control Label ListBox ListControl LinkLabel ComboBox

33. Metric: Lines of Code # of Executing Lines of Code 1 2 3 4 5 static class Program { #region Application Entry Point /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [ STAThread ] static void Main ( string [] args ) { Application . EnableVisualStyles (); Application . SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault ( false ); Workflow ( args ); } #endregion #region Static Methods /// <summary> Primary workflow for the application. </summary> /// <param name=&quot;args&quot;> Command line arguments. </param> private static void Workflow ( string [] cmdargs ) { // Collect the list of command line arguments List < string > args = new List < string >( cmdargs ); // Show usage syntax if the user so asks if ( UseArg ( args , &quot;/?&quot; )) { ShowAbout (); return ; }

34. Metric: Cyclomatic Complexity # of Branches 1 2 3 4 5 6,7 8 9 10 11 bool ParseCommandLine ( string [] args ) { if ( args . Length == 0) ShowHelp (); return ; for ( int i = 0; i < args . Length ; i ++) switch ( args [ i ]) { case &quot;/?&quot; : ShowHelp (); return false ; case &quot;/input&quot; : if ( args . Length > i && File . Exists ( args [ i + 1])) InputFile = args [ i ++]; break ; case &quot;/c&quot; : Colapse = true ; break ; } return true ; }

35. Metric: Maintainability Index Overall indication of complexity by aggregation of several factors Lines of Code Cyclomatic Complexity Computational Complexity Used on the Windows Code Base

37. How do we take ALM from an everyday task, to a simple, easy part of the background noise so users can focus on primary tasks?
