Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise stands as the pinnacle of integrated development environments (IDEs), tailored for companies and enterprises with complex software development needs.

It builds upon the robust foundation of the Professional edition, introducing a suite of advanced features specifically designed to enhance collaboration, streamline development workflows, and address the unique challenges faced by larger development teams.

As previously mentioned, the Enterprise edition targets larger corporate environments that typically have large teams working on multiple projects simultaneously. You can benefit from the same collaboration features as with the other editions, namely Code Review, Visual Studio Live Share, PowerPoint Storyboarding and Team Explorer.

Although it looks similar to Professional and Community, the IDE itself include a few extra options, namely Live Dependency Validation, Architectural Layer Diagrams, Architecture Validation and Code Clone.

Unlike the other editions that feature the Unit testing only, you can find a bundle of additional features with Enterprise. Live Unit Testing brings real-time feedback as you make code changes, whereas IntelliTest can automatically create comprehensive unit tests by analyzing code behavior.

Microsoft Fakes allows you to create controlled environments for testing specific units of code, and you can get insights into the extent of the code that has been tested via the Code Coverage feature.

Enterprise elevates the debugging and diagnostics experience with a suite of advanced tools, namely IntelliTrace, Code Map Debugger Integration, .NET Memory Dump Analysis Snapshot Debugger and Time Travel Debugging (Preview).

Thanks to these tools you can review variable states, and understand the sequence of events leading to issues, analyze memory dumps and capture runtime snapshots or rewind and replay through code to further analyze bugs.

Whether you are managing extensive codebases, prioritizing seamless collaboration, or aiming for unparalleled performance optimization, Visual Studio Enterprise offers a comprehensive solution to meet the demands of ambitious software projects within the corporate landscape.
