Book description
Get up to speed on Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) with Visual
Studio 2010 through a combination of hands-on instruction and deep-dives.
Microsoft has packed a lot of brand new testing and modeling tools
into Visual Studio 2010, tools that previously were available only to
Microsoft internal development teams. Developers will appreciate the
focus on practical implementation techniques and best practices.
A team of Microsoft insiders provides a nuts-and-bolts approach. This
Wrox guide is designed as both a step-by-step guide and a reference

solutions at every level using Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio
Team Foundation Server 2010.
