Integrity Plugin for Visual Studio 2017

[tburg]

We need the Integrity Plugin for Visual Studio 2017.

A good one !

Same as the Office 2016 Support, this need not be a "idea" anyway, but a matter of course.

Support for Visual Studio 2017 was delivered in Integrity Lifecycle Manager 12.0 F000 release. Please visit Integrity Lifecycle Manager 12 Product Integrations document for more details.

We found the time to test the new integration and I'd like to share our results:

Pro

"it kinda works as expected" (no visual changes since 2009).

Cons

- The Addin registration is a mess and needs to be redone after each VS update/patch (so at least one a quarter)

- headless deploy is more that tricky if not impossible (as for the re-registration isseu; see above)

- The VS internal "standard framework" for Issues and Version control is not used and the PTC works totally different than the competitors (extra training effort for new developers)
