Microsoft to aid developer teams with modeling

PC World | at | by Mike

Microsoft plans to add to the next version of its developer suite for teams the ability to visually model the architecture of an application and validate it against application code, the company said at TechEd this week. A new feature Microsoft plans to add to the next version of Visual Studio Team System, code-named Rosario, will allow developers to create a visual map of an application's architecture, and then compare that to the back-end code to ensure "the code is correct given the constraints of the architecture," said Norman Guadagno, a Microsoft director of product marketing.
