The announced Visual Studio Team System promises
to raise the level of discipline in the way we develop
software today. Firstly, a new diagramming capability
is being added to allow for class diagrams and
"service-oriented" design diagrams for both contract
design and logical deployment. New features including
support for test driven development and refactoring
will increase developer productivity and discipline.
Speaking of testing there is a new "NUnit-style"
framework that also support UI testing and Load
testing. A new build environment called MSBuild
combined with the new source control repository and
its support for static code analysis and code coverage
policies makes for a well rounded, full life cycle
IDE.
