Proactive Project Management
− Optimized for Iterative Development
− Ensure productivity and react to potential risks
before they happen
− Understand Project Health
− Detailed reports let you understand what is
“Really” going on with the project
− Manage Projects Your Way
− Use Microsoft Project or Excel based agile
planning documents to keep control of your
projects
Write Better Code
- Dependency Diagrams
- Understand code dependencies visually and
understand where to make changes
− Gated Check-In
− Stop build breaks before they happen
− Code Analysis and Code Metrics
− Help you find and fix potential problems before
you make them
Testing Done Right
− Test and Lab Manager
− Manual Testing for the 21st century
− Plan, Manage and Execute tests from one place
− Virtual Test Environments
− Reduce the overhead of maintaining
physical test environments
− Share Virtual environments between team
members
− Web and Load Testing
− Know your code is ready for the big time
− Measure performance under real time load conditions and
ensure that your applications are ready for release
Spend Less Time Debugging
− IntelliTrace™
− Make “No-Repro” History with Actionable Bugs
− Test Impact Analysis and Code Coverage
− Run the Right Tests and only the Right Tests
− And know you have really tested you code
− Coded UI Tests
− Automated regression tests let you find
bugs earlier
