Agenda

− Expectations− General Development Processes− Setting Up a New Project− VS.NET 2010/TFS 2010− Demos− Resources

Expectations

− What can I expect out of this session?− Where can I get more information?

General Development Processes

Software Teams

− Roles− Project Managers− Analysts − Architects− Developers− DBA’s and Database Developers− Testers− Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)

− Various team members commonly separated by geography and time zones

− Many times team members are working on multiple simultaneous projects

Development Methodologies

− Methodologies define the processes followed to design, build, test, and deploy software

− Common options include:− Agile− Waterfall

− There are repeatable processes to writing great software

Development Tools

− Tools manage the tangible tasks to create deliverables as well as facilitate the workflow and collaboration between team members

− Tools should be flexible enough to be useful regardless of the methodology

Common ALM Tools

− Requirements Tracking− Issue/Defect Tracking− Source Control/Change Management− Development/Debugging− Database Design/Development− Build Management− Testing− Reporting/Oversight− Collaboration/Knowledge Sharing

Best Practices− Clearly understood process− Common tools

− Consistent knowledge of tools− Consistent and repeatable conventions

− Naming− Architectural− UX

− Automated build process− Continuous Integration builds

− Test Driven Development− Clearly understood environments

− Test− Pre-Production

Common Scenario:Infrastructure for a New Project

Getting Started: Tools Setup

− Select tools− Install/Configure if necessary

− Verify connectivity of all team members to necessary tools

− Configure all team members in appropriate tools with appropriate permissions and workflow settings

− Train and support team members in use of various tools

Getting Started: Development− Set up project structure in source control− Verify developers have connectivity− Set up databases and secure/expose

accordingly− Set up additional test environments (i.e.

Test, Pre-Production, etc)− Configure automated build and

continuous integration processes− Distribute/configure any necessary

licenses to 3rd party controls− Other steps?

Considerations

− New Team Members− On boarding process and training− Licenses

− Tool Upgrades− Remote Access− Backup/Restore− Multiple Simultaneous Projects

Visual Studio.NET 2010 Team Foundation Server 2010

Visual Studio.NET 2010

− .NET 4.0 Framework− Releases:

− Current: Beta 2 (w/ Go Live license)− http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/

dd582936.aspx − Final: April 2010

− 3 SKUs:− Ultimate− Premium− Professional

Team Foundation Server 2010− Full suite of integrated ALM

capabilities − Work Item Tracking− Source Control− Collaboration/Knowledge Sharing− Project Tracking/Reporting− Project Dashboards− Build Management− Continuous Integration − Test Lab Management

Team Foundation Server 2010− Tightly integrated with VS.NET 2010− Built on:

− WSS 3.0− SQL Server 2008− SQL Server Reporting Services

Demos

ALM with TFS 2010

− Tightly integrated with VS.NET 2010− Extensive team collaboration via

SharePoint− Manage all projects from a single point− Completely automated build process

− Continuous Integration− Gated Builds− Automated unit test execution

− Single point of backup for all project assets− Extensive reporting and query capabilities

for project oversight

Drive Your Development with Visual Studio 2010

Agenda

− Why should we design first?− What should we design?− How will we design with Visual Studio

2010− Why is Microsoft investing in design

tools

Quick show of hands

Anyone using…− Visio− Together− Altova− Rational− Sparx− Others???

Why should we design first?

Solve Customer Problems

Analyze and Plan• How do I better

understand a business problem to be solved?

• How do I validate the logical architecture against existing patterns and design rules?

• How do I share this with the team?

Understand and Evolve• How can I better

understand my system (or a system that I have never seen before)?

• How do I evolve that system to meet changing business needs?

Execute and Deliver• How do I know if I am

on track?

• How do I know if the system under development is not breaking design rules?

• How do I know what the quality of my components are?

Lower Fidelity + Higher Abstraction− Design before code – lower fidelity , saves time,

money, and avoids mistakes− Abstraction level above code− Determine difficult decisions before we start

building anything− Communicate our thoughts to others without

making them read the code

Demo

Architecture Explorer

What should we design?

Logical & Physical Designs− Logical design refers to the class and

algorithmic structure of a program

− Physical design refers to how these classes are packaged into assemblies and deployed

Architectural Frameworks− Krutchen’s 4+1 Views of Architecture− TOGAF

(The Open Group Architecture Framework)− Zachman Framework

Krutchen’s 4+1 Views

Architectural Frameworks

Architectural FrameworksZachman Framework

Architectural Views (TODO)− As a minimum (think Agile):

− Layer Diagram (Logical)− Use Case Diagram (Logical)− Logical Class Diagram (Logical)− Component Diagram (physical)− Deployment Diagram (physical)

Design vs. Realization

− Should designs be tightly coupled to code? − To the VS project or solution?

− Our approach is to use explicit designer initiated transformations

How will we model with Visual Studio 2010?

Models as…

− Sketch− Blueprint− …(TODO)

Our Approach

• UML at the logical layer• DSLs at the physical layer

• Provide first class modeling support for .NET• Re-factor using visual model

• ALM integration

Integrated Logical and Physical Modeling

• Visualize existing code assets• Understand, manipulate and reuse

Architectural Discovery

• Continuous validation of architectural constraints• FxCop equivalent for design (TODO)• Model to code traceability• Clear connection of Architecture to Business Value

Architectural Validation

UML & other DSLs

Demo

Diagram Walkthroughs

Why is Microsoft investing in modeling?

Our GoalsBroadening the Reach of Modeling

Manage complexity with Visual Models

Understand, manipulate and evolve applications

Leverage Models across ALM
