Test Impact Analysis

• Works with Code Coverage data in TFS.

• Compares code changes with coverage data.

• Recommends tests to run based on coverage impacted.

Gated Check-in

• Checks changes into a shelfset on server.

• Merges changes with main and runs build.

• If successful, commits changes to main.

Historical Debugging

Collection Plan

• Specifies the what and how of instrumentation

Instrumentation & Hidden Trace Points

• Inserted into user’s code and the .NET framework using ICorProfiling APIs

Logger & Log

• Data is recorded to a portable log file

User Experience

• Visualization of collected data integrated with the VS Debugger IDE

The Parallel Computing Initiative

Letting the brightest developers solve business problems, not concurrencyproblems.

“Concurrency for the masses”

Concurrency Landscape

For Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4…

System.Threading Parallel Extensions

Unified Cancellation Model

Parallel Extensions is a .NET Library that supports declarative and imperative data parallelism, imperative task parallelism, and a set of data structures that make coordination easier.

1. Parallel LINQ (PLINQ)

2. Task Parallel Library (TPL)

3. Coordination Data Structures (CDS)

Parallel Static Class

When program statements are independent…

…they can be parallelized

StatementA();

StatementB();

StatementC();

Parallel.Invoke(

() => StatementA(),

() => StatementB(),

() => StatementC() );

DEMOTask Parallel Library

Structured ParallelismParallel class

– static (overloaded) methods– helper methods to create/work with Tasks– encapsulates common patterns

PLINQ

Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) enables developers to easily leverage manycore with a minimal impact to existing LINQ programming model

var q = from p in peoplewhere p.Name == queryInfo.Name &&

p.State == queryInfo.State &&p.Year >= yearStart &&p.Year <= yearEnd

orderby p.Year ascendingselect p;
