It provides advanced tools and all the software, services, and resources you need to be productive and build high-quality applications.
This software quickly gives you the information you need in context. You can use IntelliTrace for historical debugging, even in production. Advanced testing tools ensure scalability and performance in production. Visualize the structure of an application with UML diagrams provided by this Visual Studio software. Use tools to understand the relationships in existing code in a simplified manner. The included MSDN subscription gives you access to numerous Microsoft products as well as additional services, so you have everything you need for designing, developing, and testing your applications on a variety of platforms, including Windows Azure.Visual Studio Online
There is no limit to the number of Ultimate users you can add to your Visual Studio Online account. If you do not have a Visual Studio Online account, you can create one and get access to enterprise capabilities such as Agile Portfolio Management, Web test case management, Team Rooms, and Cloud Load Testing.
Quickly Get the Information You Need, in Context
CodeLens provides a heads-up display in the code editor, so you get quick answers about the code you are working on. At a glance, see whether the method you are modifying or investigating is breaking any unit test, or connect with the author of that code, visually understand the references and dependencies, and see the associated bugs and recent changes. You can get your answers all in one place, just one click away and without switching your context.
Use IntelliTrace for Historical Debugging, Even in Production
The IntelliTrace historical debugger eliminates the "no-repro" bug scenario by recording file and registry access, exceptions, method calls, and other state information so you can rewind code execution and re-create the exact error condition, even after the error occurred. IntelliTrace collectors can also be deployed to production servers to rapidly diagnose production issues, and you can export collectors from Microsoft System Center 2012 events to create rich, actionable work items that improve communication between operations and development teams.
Test to Ensure Scalability and Performance in Production
Advanced testing tools let you apply constant, step, or goal-based load patterns for load testing. Analyze and interpret test results in multiple ways that allow rapid identification of trends and issues. An unlimited number of test nodes, including web applications supporting an unlimited number of virtual browsers, let you test on an enterprise scale. You can use your existing infrastructure or connect to Visual Studio Online and pay only for the resources you use.
Visualize the Structure of an Application with UML Diagrams
UML 2.0 compliant diagrams will help you design, understand, and discuss your software systems. Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN provides support for creating Activity, User Case, Sequence, Class, and Component diagrams. You can also create layer diagrams that define the structure of your system.
Describe and Enforce Architectural Dependencies
Advanced modeling, discovery, and architecture tools help you manage enterprise architecture and describe the intended dependencies among your application's components. Layer diagrams reflect the architectural vision, which you can actively enforce using dependency validation.
Use Tools to Understand the Relationships in Existing Code
Architecture Explorer helps you to browse and find code in source files and compiled code, including assembly files, executable files, and binaries. Furthermore, you can generate Progressive Reveal and Standard Dependency Graphs to understand the organization and relationships in your solution, or use Code Map to analyze and visualize your code directly from the code editor.
