If not programming, this certainly is a programmer's question.

Visual Studio 2010 Express and Ultimate editions are two extremes wherein the former is for hobbyists and the latter is (primarily) for Architects/Designers.

The price gap between Professional and Premium editions is HUGE; however, both target developers (testers and DB guys too) primarily.

In case I wish to extend my Professional edition with most of the features provided with Premium edition additionally, I look up to the Open Source world and/or other commercial alternatives.

Therefore I request people to suggest good quality alternatives to the additional features in the Premium edition. I am hereby enlisting the additional features available with the Premium edition w.r.t. features available in the Professional edition:

Debugging and Diagnostics

- Static Code Analysis

- Code Metrics

- Profiling

Testing Tools

- Code Coverage

- Test Impact Analysis

- Coded UI Test

Database Development

- Database Deployment

- Database Change Management

- Database Unit Testing

- Database Test Data Generatio开发者_Python百科n

Here are some alternatives.

Static Code Analysis

I think both Resharper and CodeRush have some features that fit in this category.

Profiling

• Red Gate ANTS performance profiler
• Red Gate ANTS memory profiler

Code coverage

• NCover
• JetBrains dotCover
