Application lifecycle management

Modern app development Continuous value delivery and rapid response to change

How we used to workWe did ask for feedback after each milestone – but we could not really react to it.

For the most part, we would tell everybody “sorry” - and push things to the next release.

We did find and fix bugs – without really knowing if we built the right thing in the first place.

We had closed silos of information across different organizations, hurting collaboration.

Stubs

A stub replaces a class with a small substitute that implements the same interface

Shimes

A shim modifies the compiled code of your application at run time so that instead of making a specified method call, it runs the shim code that your test provides

Deployed component depends on external parts that are

incomplete or exhibit variable behavior.

Component isolated testing. The stubs and shims work

under the control of the tests.

Isolate the code you are testing by replacing other parts

of the application with stubs or shims.

Small pieces of code that are under the control of your

tests.

Code Maps

• Filter link types on Code maps and dependency graphs

• Drag and drop from object browser or class view

• Create new diagrams from selected nodes

• Create new blank Code Map from the simplified Architecture menu

• Faster display and better responsiveness

• Less clutter with implicit .NET type dependencies hidden

• Filters for code elements as well as dependency links

Debugger Events (with IntelliTrace)

Next generation build

Continuous integration to find build issues earlier

Create your own build definition templates or use community templates from your Git provider

Technical Debt Bottleneck

… but technical debt slows it down

… but technical debt slows it down

… but technical debt slows it down

Makes forward progress on customer value inefficient

Technical debt zaps productivity

Technical makes code hard to understand, fragile, difficult to

validate

Technical creates unplanned work that blocks progress

50% of capacity is zapped by technical debt

SonarQube Integration

code analysis issues duplicate code code complexity

not enough tests redundant & flaky tests architectural spaghetti

UI Automation

Coded UI tests provide a way to create fully automated tests to validate the functionality and behavior of your application’s user interface

Selenium automates browsers. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is not limited to just that
