Microsoft continued to beat the security drum at its Tech Ed 2004 conference by spotlighting technology to bridge Office front-end applications with back-end Web services and demonstrating group application development and testing to be built into Visual Studio Team Edition.
Due out next year, Visual Studio Team Edition encompasses long-promised modeling and proactive testing capabilities. Taking on such established modeling giants as Rational Software, now owned by IBM, the product will enable developers to test the security of their applications in advance, uncovering such situations as buffer overflows before they become a problem, said Prashant Sridharan, Microsoft's lead product manager for Visual Studio.
