MS Visual Studio 2010: “The next gen of next-gen applications”
by Inessa.b
As you probably have heard, Microsoft Team System Development Center is working on the new Visual Studio version, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. According to the VSTS team, “Rosario” (code name of the VSTS 2010) will feature the following functionality:
· the new Architecture Explorer
· extended use of multiple diagrams
· improved tools for better documentation
· the new Test Impact View
· enhanced version control capabilities
To add more, Microsoft Team System developers emphasize that user experience is the key factor in any VSTS project, that is why they put so much effort into the so-called “democratized ALM” (Application Life cycle Management). But what exactly do they mean by “democratized ALM?” Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010 is going to provide some new functions and capabilities, which embrace the needs of users in the life cycle. To be more exact, it will provide better cooperation between architects, developers, project managers, testers, and other project members.

Another good news is that next year Visual Studio is also expected to support an interactive designer for Silverlight (fully editable) and a tool support for data-binding.
