• Visual Studio Team System Scenario vs Feature vs User Story vs Use Case

• Visual Studio Team System code coverage "off road"

Since I've skipped a generation and another one is about to be released, I thought I'd skip 2003 as well and wait for 2005. To prepare for it I decided to download VC++ Express 2005 Beta 2 and the install went flawlessly (I downloaded the CD-image and installed that). Then I got ...Show All
