Microsoft’s Mads Kristensen, Principal Product Manager for Visual Studio, has introduced a selection of Visual Studio extensions resulting from collaboration with the Visual Studio community. These community experiments were launched by Microsoft in the second half of 2022. As part of a community experiment, Microsoft decides which features should be selected to improve user productivity and satisfaction. The company’s developers believe that collaborating with the community helps find the best solutions. Therefore, the selected features are developed and tested in collaboration with the Visual Studio user community.
Once the features are developed and tested, Microsoft releases them as open-source extensions. The company continues to work closely with the community to continuously optimize the features. This includes accepting bug reports and pull requests, as well as collecting telemetry data to better understand usage patterns.
It is common for thousands of users to install these experimental extensions to test and further develop them. This results in features that are actually developed in close collaboration with the community and tailored to their specific needs.
Mads Kristensen presents a list of the features developed collaboratively so far. This includes a diverse range of extensions covering various areas of development. These include extensions to improve productivity, code optimization, bug fixing, and integration of third-party tools.
Microsoft’s collaboration with the Visual Studio community has proven to be a successful model for continuously improving the quality and user-friendliness of Visual Studio. By involving the community, the needs and requirements of users are directly taken into account, and innovative solutions are developed.
The Visual Studio community can look forward to exciting extensions and improvements that are created in close collaboration with Microsoft. These community experiments are an important part of the ongoing development of Visual Studio and demonstrate that Microsoft places great value on the opinions and feedback of its users.
