May ALM Documentation Update Available

Brian Harry

In recent years, we have tried to move to a model of producing updates to the documentation on a more frequent basis rather than just synchronizing it with the product schedule.  Inevitably the documentation lags behind the product a bit (you can’t write the docs until you have something to document :)) and they get squeezed at the end of the product cycle.  Instead we’ve moved to a model where we produce the highest priority content for RTM and then, using customer feedback, we stage out additional content over time.  Right now we publish updates about once a quarter but would like to get to the point that high demand updates could even be made monthly.

The documentation updates for May are now available:

New content

• Shipped content to support the Visualization and Modeling Feature Pack scenarios.
• Added new ports and protocol diagram that includes Lab Management components: Team Foundation Server Architecture.
• Technical articles:
  • Customizing Team Foundation Server Project Portals
  • Dynamic Performance Analysis: Rules and Guidance for Visual Studio Profiling Tools Users
  • Profiling HPC Applications
  • Remote Debugging Summary
  • Streamline Testing Process with Test Impact Analysis
  • Visual Studio 2010 SQL Database Projects

Updated content

• Updated content for Extending UML Models and Diagrams.
• Corrected the procedures for moving library objects: Expanding or Changing Your Virtual Lab.
• In the Testing the Application content:
• Added some updates to coded UI test topics based on customer feedback and our own work.
• Improved documentation to help users add a timeout that was missing from the product
