Understanding your code

Dealing with Existing Code

− Existing code can be difficult to understand years, months, event days after its creation.

− Maintaining code quality and architectural control to reduce complexity is difficult.

How Will You Know?

− Are you building the right system?

− What will break when you start adding code?

− Does the new implementation match the design?

Using dynamic, interactive visualization tools, as well as tried and true UML diagrams, you can…

Visualize Code

Managing Code “Drift”

− Code can “drift” away from the original design and intent− Inadvertent

dependencies− Code evolution

Layer Diagrams

− Visualize design intent.

− Validate implementation against intent.

Show

−What you want−What you mean−What you need

Communicate Intent

− Increase ratio of success−Layer diagrams −UML support

− Model first or code first

Unified Modeling Language (UML)

− UML Designers− Activity− Class− Component− Sequence− Use Case

− New Modeling Project− Work Item Integration

Comprehend your projects

Project Management

− Generally painful− Unrealistic

schedules− Resources not

people

Shouldn’t it be …

− individuals over processes?− working software over

documentation?− collaboration over

negotiations?− responding to change over

the plan?

?

Visual Studio 2010 will enable you to…

− Plan projects with confidence

− Run projects with greater visibility

− Diagnose root causes and course correct your projects with transparency

Plan Projects More Accurately

− Microsoft Office Excel workbook.

− Integrated with Team Foundation Server.

− Enables easy entry of user stories.

Iteration Planning

− Compare current plan to previous results.

− Enables easy load balancing across team.

− Built-in capabilities for accounting for planned interruptions.

Run Projects with Visibility

The Right Tools

− Track progress by knowing what your team is doing.

− Gather data continuously.− Tools should help not

hinder your progress.

Its All Related

− Work item relationships provide traceability.

− Relationships can expose early indicators of trouble.

Manage Your Work Anywhere

The Right Tool for the Job

Improve your testing

Why Can’t a Bug Be Fixed?

− Poorly documentedsteps to reproduce

− Lack of visibility into the tester’s actions

− Environment differences

Developer-Tester Ping-Pong

− Bug is batted back and forth.

− A lot of wasted effort.− Collaboration is low.

An

ACTIONABLE BUG contains enough information

that you are able to take IMMEDIATE ACTION

to fix the bug.

Quickly Discover theRoot Cause of Any Bug

IntelliTrace™

IntelliTrace enablescollaboration

between developers and testers by

creating a sharedhistorical

perspective.

Like a DVR for Developers
