Tools of the Trade: Closing the Loop in .NET Development

In our .NET software development environment, we have quite a few systems and tools in place to help us to keep track of all the code slinging about, the work items and the sporadic (or frequent) issues. To maintain sanity, we need a few key systems: 1) Dependency Management 2) Source Control 3) Issue Tracking 4) Build 5) Testing In these systems, we have an established interconnection and a process for effectively using these three things together to improve productivity for product owners, developers, QA, and users. In this talk, I will demonstrate how we use these systems in our work environment and walk through the lifecycle of a work item. The specific technologies I will focus on are: NuGet, Subversion, JIRA, TeamCity, NUnit. You too can achieve developer bliss from having a well-oiled DevOps ecosystem that will make you all look good and feel good.
