Improving software quality using Visual Studio 11 C++ Code Analysis
by Jason Yang and Vince Smith
Through this session, learn how to save time and improve customer satisfaction by finding and fixing bugs early in the development process. Visual Studio 11 C++ Code Analysis identifies critical defects that lead to crashes and security vulnerabilities in your C++ apps and drivers at compile time, and gives you the information you need to quickly prioritize and resolve them. Code Analysis is now included in all editions of Visual Studio 11, including Express, and there are many new features to discuss. This session also includes demos, examples and best practices on how to improve the quality of your apps and drivers. Join us to learn how you can use code analysis to develop great software that will delight your customers.

Manual testing of Windows Metro style apps built using HTML
How do you find bugs before you distribute your app to customers? If you’ve found one, how do you ensure that you’ve fixed it? Even if you write up test guides, how do you ensure that they have all been used and that every step was conducted? Are you one of the many developers that spend a lot of time writing Word documents and meeting with testers to try and get them to test consistently? With Visual Studio Test Professional, we gave you the tools to conduct manual testing and to make it easy to verify that you’ve fixed the bugs. If on the other hand, you are part of an Agile team which practices exploratory testing (XT), you have the tools to create a rich, actionable bug from an XT session. You can also create a test case to ensure that parts of your XT session can be executed as a formal test case. In Visual Studio 11, we’re bringing all of this technology to Windows Metro style apps using HTML. In this session, we’ll show how you can use Visual Studio 11 to do manual or exploratory testing and file rich, actionable bugs. We will also discuss guidelines for building testable Windows 8 apps.

Unit testing your metro style apps built using XAML
We all know that unit and functional testing is a cornerstone of successful app development. In Visual Studio 11, we have enabled developers to use modern, agile techniques for developing and testing their new Metro style apps using XAML. In this talk, we will demonstrate how to apply existing best practices to effectively test your app in this new world. We will use TDD to create and test a Metro style app using XAML using well-known patterns like MVVM and isolation, and will also show how to use our new Native Unit Testing framework to test native code.

Building parallelized apps with .NET and Visual Studio
by Stephen Toub
The Task Parallel Library (TPL), PLINQ, and Visual Studio 2010 provide managed code developers with a solid foundation for parallelizing loops, queries, and other common constructs in both server and client apps. But that’s only the beginning. In this code-intensive session, learn about what’s next for parallelization with .NET and Visual Studio, diving deep into performance enhancements, new Visual Studio tooling, and new libraries and language support for parallelization and asynchrony.

Architectural discovery with Visual Studio 11
by Mark Groves and Tracey Trewin
Most projects start from an existing code base – whether you are enhancing an existing app or rewriting an app to modernize it. In either case, the documentation for the existing system is most likely non-existent, stale or just wrong. The people who wrote the system are no longer available to the new team, which is left trying to understand a system with no starting point. See how Visual Studio 11 gives you that starting point and allows teams to be productive in a fraction of the time it takes today as well as ensuring that you have the tools to document the new work so you don’t end up with the same situation in the future.
