Software development is more than just writing application code. Working with a database is also an important part of most projects. It’s all about assimilating Data Experts into the Development Team and Process using the DB Pro Team Edition. The sweet spot for these tools is managing the changes to the database schema is a different way, in an off-line mode, and control changes in a very organized fashion. Visual Studio database schema management tools are excellent tools for the users to build SQL databases in a managed project environment with support for versioning, deployment, unit testing, refactoring, and off-line SQL development.  These tools are designed to manage database change, improve software quality through database testing and bring the benefits of Visual Studio and application life cycle development to the database professional.

Forget about calling Terminix or Orkin; NIST estimates software bugs cost the U.S. economy approximately $2.2B per year and that problem could cost you serious time, money, and very importantly credibility with your internal and external customers.  What can a QA/Test/Project Manager professional do to battle a problem that is as old as software itself?  Join Randy Pagels (a.k.a. Major Kilgore) and Tim Adams (a.k.a. Captain Obvious) as they discuss combat strategies and tactics in getting these nasty suckers where they eat (production), live (testing and staging), and breed (development).  See how we can defeat the dreaded No RePro bug which over the years has ravaged countless dollars, vast hours, and broken the spirit of many software soldiers.  Witness the safeguards they deploy to prevent eradicated bugs from returning from grave to feed upon your resources again and again. Watch how we mobilize all the branches of the armed services (analysts, developers, testers, users, and project managers) to defeat this enemy and victoriously fly your banner with pride.
