Feature-rich development environmentĪs its name implies and its generous feature set proves, Visual Studio Enterprise is not designed for the non-enterprise customer. Furthermore, the Enterprise edition features DevOps support, allowing automatic deployment and offering a more detailed insight of the project.
The available options and features enable users to code faster, manage dependencies with ease, handle large datasets, diagnose and find solutions to the issues that might occur in due time. It also comes with advanced coding, monitoring, debugging, profiling, and testing tools (unit testing, load testing, and so on), which work together to allow development teams to ship high-quality results. Cooperation between team members is encouraged through the use of the VS Team Services, helping even large teams to become efficient and productive, and meet their deadlines. The Enterprise edition focuses on teamwork and a streamlined workflow that can reduce the coding and deployment time.
Advanced development tools and focus on productivity Furthermore, thanks to the IntelliSense technology, developers benefit from context-aware help, code completion and quick snippet insertion, all to save time. The IDE includes the popular editor with syntax highlighting, bookmarking, and a rich toolbox that allows quick searching, class viewing and code browsing.
It is compatible with various programming languages (Visual C#, Visual Basic, C++, F#, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, HTML, and many more) and gives developers the freedom to create any type of application and work on projects compatible with Windows or web platforms, Android or iOS, Office, SharePoint, and this is just a small part of a long list. Targeting the enterprise client, Visual Studio Enterprise does not disappoint when it comes to the feature set.
Advanced code editor with IntelliSense technology It encloses both the Ultimate and the Premium editions, which will be no longer developed separately. The Enterprise edition of Visual Studio was born with the launch of the 2015 edition of the popular development IDE, becoming part of the highest tier available for download and purchase. It addresses the commercial environment, providing the tools, services and options required to work on complex, high-scale projects. In other words, when developers want to create a specific type of interface or app, they can find the proper tools within Visual Studio to ensure their project is bug-free and runs smoothly.Visual Studio Enterprise is the most comprehensive edition Microsoft offers, delivering much more than the individual developer needs. Bugs can be fixed due to the built-in debugger that can be used both as a source-level and as a machine-level one, meant to support managed code and native one developed in any supported programming language.ĭue to the complexity of Visual Studio, the type of projects that can be created is equally varied, so specialized tools are provided: web and class designers, creator of forms for GUI apps and a database schema builder.Īlthough it runs on Windows OS, Microsoft Visual Studio does not restrict its users when it comes to the platform they can develop on: Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Silverlight. Not only can developers start their apps from scratch, but they can also modify their existing source code or look for syntax errors.
Users can also develop JavaScript, CSS, XML/XSLT or HTML/XHTML projects within Visual Studio. This IDE supports several programming languages frequently used by developers and webmasters: C/C++, VB.NET, C#, and F#, whereas downloading and installing extra utilities can bring support for Python and Ruby. Due to the large amount of files and data that need to be configured, it takes several minutes until installation completes (depending on the performance of the host PC).
Microsoft Visual Studio is one of the most complex integrated development environments (IDE) that can be used to build projects involving software solutions, console apps, and graphical user interfaces.ĭuring installation, users are offered the possibility to choose the additional components they want to setup, depending on the task they want to achieve: Office, SharePoint or Web developer tools, Silverlight development kits or Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++.
