Visual Studio Test Elements-2010
This is separate tool apart from vsts 2010. This is specifically for the tester.
VSTS 2010 had plenty of improvements and new features. Let’s talk about some coolest and hottest feature.

Debugging and diagnosis:
1) Intelli trace.
a. It’s one of the best feature ever never heard from any other development areas.
This is give you exact definition about the problem. When we have situation like in production environment user’s are having some issues but not having in the other environment. That time only our Intellin trace comes in to picture.

2) Static Code Analysis.
It’s one of the coolest features. Using this tool can define the best practices of the code.
If you not followed the best practices and build will fails.
3) Code Metrics.
User can see the chart level description about the code.
4) 64 Bit Support.
5) Break point Improvement.
a. Filtering
b. Label attachment for each break point.
Architectural Complaints:
1) Layer Diagram:
This is one of the nice features once you assign the layer for the solution. It should stick on that.
2) One shot all dependencies can show.
3) UML Added.
WPF Improvements:
1) Touch Input can possible now.
2) Added new controls like Data grid and Date Picker.
Deployment:
1) One click deployment as like as f5.
Silver light:

Chart Controls
Now in vs2010 added chart control no need to use other third party controls. it available.
Also supports 3D.
Cloud Application
It’s possible with Window Azure.
Share Point
Now we have the project template for share point. All the manipulation can be done through this.
Team Foundation Server:
1) Gated check in.
It’s really coolest feature and user friendly to do it. There is a situation like developer always breaks build. For that we have gated check in to restrict to check in.
2) Self test.
Data can be saved temporarily not in the server location.
3) TFS-Web
Now also can see who is working what like that information can trace from anywhere else.
4) Packages
Now we are able to create packages. Maintainability is good.
Now parent and child hierarchy are available
Branch creation and merging are available.
Database Development:
1) Import schemas.
2) Synchronization available with offline and online.
3) Refactoring database.
Testing
It support’s manual and automated. This is separate development environment.
1) Unit Test wizard.
2) Data driven test.
3) Code coverage.
4) Test impact analysis.
5) Coded UI test with record UI functionality as like mercury and more than.
