You can have the best coders in the world working in your teams, but if your project management isn't up to scratch, your project is almost certain to be delayed, to come in over budget, and in some cases to fail entirely. By taking precise control of your application development process, you can make changes, both large and small, throughout your project's life cycle that will lead to better-quality finished products that are consistently delivered on time and within budget. Application lifecycle management (ALM) is an area of rapidly growing interest within the development community. Because its techniques allow you to deal with the process of developing applications across many areas of responsibility and across many different disciplines, its effects on your project can be wide ranging and pronounced. It is a project management tool that has practical implications for the whole team-from architects to designers, from developers to testers. This book focuses on the most powerful ALM tool available for the Microsoft .NET Framework: Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). It demonstrates the key concepts and techniques of ALM and illustrates how they can be achieved using the tools VSTS provides in a clear succinct style. After reading the book, you will understand how VSTS can be used to generate continuous meaningful reporting on your project's health for the decision makers on your team as well as for your project's sponsors.
This book will help you get started with agile project management using Microsoft's latest releases of its market-leading Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015, and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). The book demonstrates agile concepts and how to implement them using TFS/VSTS. Many organizations are using agile practices today. Agility has become a key enabler for running better projects with more successful end results and high quality output. At the same time, adoption of TFS/VSTS has increased dramatically, from being just a new version control system in the very beginning to becoming the fully-featured market leader it is today. In order to benefit the most from agile practices you need an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) toolset that supports your way of working. With TFS/VSTS, Microsoft has provided a powerful tool that is very customizable. This book shows you how you can use TFS/VSTS to implement many agile practices and how they fit into a well-thought-out ALM implementation.The book also shows how an agile product owner can work with TFS/VSTS to setup an agile project from scratch and how to continue using TFS/VSTS throughout the whole project to track progress, create and refine the backlog, and work with Kanban and Scrum Task boards. Keeping track of progress is important in any project. TFS/VSO includes many tools which will help you to track key metrics in an agile project. Many useful reports are available out of the box, and the TFS extensibility offers several ways to further customize reporting to fit your needs. What You Will Learn: Agile Concepts and Processes How TFS/VSO supports agile processes end to end How you can customize TFS/VSO to better support your processes How to set up an agile project from scratch and manage it over its lifecycle
* Explains how to plan and implement scalable application designs using .NET 2.0 and both traditional and Service Oriented (SOA) models. * Gives detailed overview advice across the whole breadth of the project from platform to application to database in order to provide a comprehensive treatment rather than just focus on one particular issue. * Uses the very latest version of Web Services Enhancements (WSE 3.0) when most competing titles still use the previous version (WSE 2.0 or WSE 1.0) and includes detailed consideration of the new Windows Server System and advises how to select the correct setup for your project.5
Beginning Application Lifecycle Management is a guide to an area of rapidly growing interest within the development community: managing the entire cycle of building software. ALM is an area that spans everything from requirements specifications to retirement of an IT-system or application. Because its techniques allow you to deal with the process of developing applications across many areas of responsibility and across many different disciplines, the benefits and effects of ALM techniques used on your project can be wide-ranging and pronounced. In this book, author Joachim Rossberg will show you what ALM is and why it matters. He will also show you how you can assess your current situation and how you can use this assessment to create the road ahead for improving or implementing your own ALM process across all of your team's development efforts. Beginning Application Lifecycle Management can be implemented on any platform. This book will use Microsoft Team Foundation Server as a foundation in many examples, but the key elements are platform independent and you'll find the book written in a platform agnostic way. In this book, you'll learn: What application lifecycle management is and why it matters. The steps necessary for implementing an ALM process. Tips and techniques you can use to gain control of your development efforts. How to implement an agile framework into your ALM process How to achieve traceability and visibility in your projects How to automate your ALM process

In Theorie und Praxis spielen eingipflige (unimodale) Dichten eine be- deutende Rolle. Sie sind aber im deutschen Sprachbereich kaum behan- delt worden. Noch viel weniger untersucht wurden bisher positiv defini- te Dichten, das sind Dichten, die zu reellen charakteristischen Funktio- nen proportional sind. Auch sie werden vielfach bei der Modellierung zufalliger Erscheinungen genutzt. Wegen der Symmetrie ist eine positiv definite Dichte p durch ihre Werte auf [0,00) vollstandig charakterisiert. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, neben p auch die (Realteil-) Dichte ] ._ { 0 fur x
