Stelligent News Test Early™
December 2006

 

Last month, our Automated Build newsletter sparked a lot of interest! Once again, we encourage your comments and questions as we use December to explore Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System and how this platform can assist organizations in managing and delivering complex software solutions more successfully.

If you are unfamiliar with Visual Studio Team System or VSTS, it is a fully integrated environment for building software applications; moreover, the platform provides end to end support for coding, testing, project management, and defect reporting to name a few.

We have found that this platform offers unique opportunities to facilitate quantifying development efforts so that you can reliably ensure software quality early; however, we have also noticed the challenges surrounding an effort to migrate to this platform. Accordingly, we have engaged a number of clients in an effort to facilitate assessing their current development practices and mapping relevant ones to an optimized software development methodology utilizing VSTS.

If you are considering a migration effort to VSTS and are looking for opportunities to accelerate the delivery of higher quality software solutions, consider contacting us!

Finally, we want to thank all our clients and friends who have made 2006 a memorable first year for Stelligent Incorporated. We look forward to a successful 2007 and we wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Sincerely,

Andrew Glover
President, Stelligent Incorporated

    Before you move to VSTS, take some time to carefully consider what aspects of your current software process are working and which aren’t. Moving to a new system is a great opportunity to incorporate early quality practices that enable you to quantify development and accelerate the delivery of even higher quality software solutions

    Stelligent can facilitate mapping a path that exploits the positive aspects of your current processes within VSTS platform so that you can ensure quality early.
