Live Unit Testing

Live unit testing is the new feature of Visual Studio 2017 RC. It is only present in the Enterprise edition of the Visual Studio 2017 RC. This feature will help you to visualize unit test results and code coverage live on the editor, whoile you are coding. It works with C# (C Sharp) and VB (Visual Basic) projects for .NET framework. It supports with three test framework of xUnit, MSTest, and NUnit.

Note:- Live Unit Testing is an early preview of this feature and it has several known issues.

Live Architecture Dependency Validation

In Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, if you have setup Dependency Valaidation diagrams. Then you now get real time notification violations of architectural dependency rules as you type code in the code editor. Errors appear in the error list. Squiggles in the text editor show the precise location of this violation.

Intellisense Filtering

Intellisense filtering is enhanced in visual studio 2017 RC. It makes it much easier to use. It makes long lists much more manageable. If you need a variable, than you don’t need to write too much to get to it. For example, if you want to write ‘sizeOfAnotherBuffer’, you just need to write ‘size’ and intellisense will show the best matching result for you. But with features like CamelCase search you only need to type in the 2 letters in capitals for IntelliSense to appropriately filter results for you that match two different words with those letters capitalized. So, Intellisense is much smarter now then previous versions, it will select the best matching result from the list instead of simply picking the top result.

All the filters have very convenient keyboard shortcuts. If you are typing C# code, then Alt+P to filter down to properties and Alt+M to filter out extension methods.

Code Navigation

Code navigation is the significant feature in Visual Studio 2017 RC.

Go To (Ctrl +, Ctrl + T) is very fast, complete search that lets you easily and quickly find files, methods, types, and other elements in your code. It gives you a one-stop way to go to any kind of item you need, even in a large and complex code.

Find all References (Shift + F12) helps you get around fast even in really complex codebases, providing advanced grouping, filtering, sorting, searching within your reference results. For C# and VB, results are colorized just like they are in the editor. So, you can get a clear understanding of your references and you can get line of code you need.

Structure visualizer helps you to have a clear understanding or sense of where you are structurally in your code when reading. Structure visualizer is the key feature of visual studio 2017 RC. Structure Visualizer draws structure guide lines on your code, so you can easily visualize and discover what block of code you are in at any time without needing to scroll.

Debugging

Run to click is a great feature. With run to click there is no need to set temporary break points. Once you start the debugging, you will see a green glyph icon on the left. So, simply click on it to run your code till that point. On the other hand you will see another glyph on the right. This right glyph is for pref tips.
