Team System for C++ Developers
Despite the ever-growing popularity of .NET development, a question we frequently receive is, “What does Visual Studio 2005 and Team System offer for the Visual C++ developer?”
Visual C++ developers will find a lot of new capabilities in Visual C++ 2005, which are supplemented by a number of features unique to Team System. Here’s just a sampling:
- Code profiling tools to detect and correct performance bottlenecks
- Code analysis tools for identifying common coding errors such as, buffer overruns, un-initialized memory, null pointer dereferences, memory and resource leaks
- Unit testing and code coverage tools to test code functionality and measure test effectiveness
- AppVerifier is designed to detect and help debug memory corruption, critical security vulnerabilities, and limited-user account privilege issues
- Support for 64–bit application development
- And of course, improved support for developing applications for the .NET CLR with C++/CLI
You’ll find details about many of these features in the following resources:
