As a tester role it would be nice to be able to quickly create and maintain Coded UI tests for 3rd party apps where we can still leverage off the great Testing framework Microsoft ALM offers.

Extending the Coded UI tests is currently available but information on how to implement it is hard to come by and understand.

If Coded UI test extensibility was made easier is adoption into business would seem more alluring due to the fact that competitor software to automate tests for say, SAP, is very expensive and ****** to maintain

The Entity Model browser tool window now has a search feature (very nice). However, after executing a search you end up with a model browser tree that has almost all nodes expanded. A 'collapse all' button (similar to the one in Solution Explorer) would be a good idea.

When you're working on a part of a solution in Visual Studio it would be good to be able to hide all the projects that you're not interested in.

A simple context menu item to show/hide projects would be good. This setting would be stored in the user options file.

You could then have a separate item in the solution explorer that you would keep collapsed which would lists all the hidden projects.

I am able to change the security, by blocking for example testers to add a new "Product Backlog Item". However I am unable to make it invisible for the testers.

The default reporting structure for comparing two load tests runs automatically assigns a value to each test run; baseline and comparison.

Currently, this assignment is based on chronologically when the test was run. For example, the first test which was run is always deemed the 'baseline' and the later run is always 'comparison'.

There should be a way to configure your run type, in the situation where the first test that was run is deemed as the comparison and the second is deemed as the baseline.

I' d like to use testrunners from OS unit test frameworks in Visual Studio.

Sometimes aspx files take too long to preview. When I just want to copy-paste the file, I have to select it in the solution explorer. When a file is selected, VS 2012 invokes preview file feature.

Please provide a way to duplicate a file without first loading it.

I want to add a .cs file and its corresponding generated UIMap file to a folder in Visual Studio 2012. But i think there is not feature like that exists. here is the link to my question in the forum

I am Expecting Coded UI to support third party FLUENT controls, can we have a plugin for this

It would be nice to have in a database project the database objects available via Intellisense that are existing in the referenced database projects or dbschema's. Currently only the objects in the current database projects are available.

When doing code review, we just want to outline some code snippets without logic to understand clearly the whole processes of the implementation.

When I code then I need one kind of window settings. When I design GUI then I need another kind of working environment, like when I code then I need Tool Box, Solution Explorer, and Property Window, they are necessary at design time. But when I code then only Solution Explorer is necessary for me.

I would like to be able to access the raw counter data in the DB after a load test has completed. Trying to access all the raw data through the exports is extremely painful. Please allow storing the values in the DB as just basic format something like the following:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[counter_data](
[value] [numeric] NOT NULL,
[hostname] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL,
[counter_name] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL,
[counter_instance] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

or at least allow exporting of all values at once in to XML.

In my workflow, I'd like to easily set up a keyboard shortcut to open "Views", then type "P" to go to the first P....Controller file. The best solution I can find now is to set up macros, etc, it should be really easy. Right-click on a folder, "Add open shortcut..." and a dialog to define a highlighting shortcut set.

Put a special bookmark when I "go to definition" so that I can cleanly get back exactly to where I was. If I "go to definition" again, push another location onto a stack. This is slightly supported today, but not nicely at all.
Put Mads Kristensen on this and it'll be beautifully integrated.

Visual Studio 2012 uses a beautiful and useful icon collection that it seems many of programmers may be interested to use that icons in their apps. In the other hand, the icon pack is published a few weeks ago. But the published icon pack, contains small icons only (most of them are in 16 and 32 px). I suggest you to publish editable and re-sizable images (e.g. in PSD format) or even better is to publish them in a vector (.svg or .eps) format. Thank you so much.
