How can I generate a code map in visual studio, can generate class diagram but where is the option for code map ?
You need to have installed Update 1 for VS2012, and be using Professional, Premium or Ultimate editions if Visual Studio.
Taken from this source here:
Before we get started you need to be aware of the requirements for Code Map. Below are the requirements to leverage this feature:
Visual Studio 2012.1 and one of these editions:
Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate to create code maps from the code editor or from Solution Explorer.
Visual Studio 2012 Premium or Visual Studio 2012 Professional to open code maps, make limited edits, and navigate code.
A solution with Visual C# .NET or Visual Basic .NET code
Note: Before you share maps with others who use Premium or Professional, make sure that all the items on the map are visible, such as hidden items, expanded groups, and cross-group links.
If so, how do i turn it on? I don't see it under Tools-> Options
If not, anywhere I can download it?
Here is the product matrix from the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 site.
It shows that it is only available for the Ultimate edition.
Are you sure your coworker has it on Pro?
Intellitrace is not available in Microsoft Visual Studio Professional version, intellitrace is available in Visual Studio Ultimate edition only.
Yes, you can have Intellitrace in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, because there is a bug in Visual Studio licencing system. It happen in some circumstances.
I used to be able to generate sequence diagrams in Visual Studio 2010 by right-clicking within a function and selecting the appropriate menu option.
I just installed Visual Studio Premium 2012 (11.0.51106.01 Update 1)
and that menu option is not available. My project is in C#.
We had one other VS2012 patch in our library that I installed as well, but that did not produce the desired result.
According to this comparison page, Sequence Diagrams (and UML in general) can only be created by Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. The Premium edition can only read them.
Currently Entrian Search doesn't work with visual studio 2012.. Does anyone know when are they planning to releasing an update? Are there any other similar plugins which would work with vs2012 at the moment?
Entrian Source Search now supports Visual Studio 2012 - see http://entrian.com/blog/source-search-1-4-1-visual-studio-2012/
VS 2010 powertools installation helped to use PEX & Moles in VS 2010.
Now with VS 2012, I understand that Moles becomes enriched as Fakes but hopefully PEX is retained, please confirm.
Also, how to use PEX in 2012. What needs to be installed (like VS 2010 powertool) to get that working for 2012.
Thanks !!
As far as I know, they are waiting for a final version of Visual Studio 2012 to release a version of Pex compatible with it.
I can't understand why Microsoft doesn't make this things clear... :/

Pex for Visual Studio 2012 2 Posts | Last Post April 23, 2013

Flynn Hi, I am wondering: There is PEX for Visual Studio 2010, there is Code Digger for Visual Studio 2012 and portable libraries but
there
is nothing for Visual Studio 2012 and all the the other library
formats. Why is that?
Written April 23, 2013 Nikolai Tillmann Code Digger (for Portable
Class Libraries) is the first Visual Studio extension from the Pex
Team for Visual Studio 2012. Stay tuned for future extensions that
bring more aspects of the rich experience of the Pex Visual Studio
2010 Power Tools to the latest version of Visual Studio. If you are
looking for a particular Pex feature for Visual Studio 2012, drop as
an email at pexdata#microsoft.com.*
Looks like they introduced Code Digger.
From the PEX webpage:
Code Digger for Visual Studio 2012 is a lightweight version of Pex that allows you to explore public .NET methods in Portable Class Libraries directly from the code editor.
As far as I have read from Microsofts documentation PEX for Visual Studio 2012 is now an integral part called "Fakes and Moles", please look here:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/pex/
And here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh549175.aspx
You can continue to use PEX for test generation by opening your solution(s) in VS 2010 , even if you are normally working inside VS 2012. VS project schema is very compatible between VS 2010 and VS 2012.
You also could consider to run command line PEX from 2010 add-in. See the answer in Create NUnit test cases automatically from Pex. read more about this in Exercise 5 of Parameterized Unit Testing with Microsoft Pex
According to This Webcast
Code Digger was released so that people can see the power of PEX when used properly before they release the Visual Studio 2012 version where people pick it apart for not working with platform specific cases.
They don't speak of a release date but since Visual Studio 2013 is now RTM you'd think that it would be soon. I definitely miss PEX as it helped with Parameterized Unit Testing.
