API Reference for Database Edition

By using the information in this section, you can extend the features of Visual Studio Team System Database Edition in the following ways:

• Create custom data generators to produce test data that meets specific needs.

• Create custom data distributions to control the distribution of your test data.

• Create custom conditions for unit tests to test for specific pass-or-fail criteria.

• Create custom refactoring types to perform additional refactoring operations on your database project.

• Create custom refactoring contributors so that you and your team can use refactoring on additional targets in your database project.

• Create custom rules for to identify additional design, naming, or performance issues in database code.
