New application life-cycle management (ALM) and testing features found in Visual Studio Team System 2010 are broadening the number of Microsoft partners that are building tools and services for the platform.
For ALM, Microsoft introduced architectural tools for model-driven development, a new approach to how Team Foundation Server (TFS) handles hierarchal work items and work item linking. The company also modified Visual Studio's licensing scheme to broaden customers' access to Visual Studio's ALM tools.
