Microsoft is set to focus on a new suite of developer tools, adding to its wide array of advanced products. With the Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft aims to "democratize application life cycle management" through making it simpler for developers, database pros, architects, and testers to work collectively. The new development platform will most likely to highlight modeling and testing. In addition, the tool will feature something that resembles to an airplane's blackbox. It will also include a restructured installation and configuration processes. On the other hand, the .NET Framework will be enhanced most particularly in Windows Workflow and Windows Communication Foundation. These two are significant parts of Microsoft's service-oriented architecture strategy. The .NET Framework is a software technology designed for various Microsoft Windows operating systems. It includes a large library of pre-coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. It is one of Microsoft's core products intended to be employed in most new applications created for the Windows platform.
