Microsoft Visual Studio Primary Use Case
My first use case was to develop Microsoft Windows tools in .Net Framework (formerly from 3.5). Later I developed web platforms in ASP .NET and lately, I have developed APIs in both .NET Framework and NET Core, the latest in NET 6.
The platforms that I develop in Windows environments and do not have CI/CD systems I deploy them directly from Visual Studio. The entire Windows ecosystem is well managed by Visual Studio.
When I program in Microsoft Windows I usually use Visual Studio.

The platform's use cases depend on the entire system diagram. For instance, if we have login software, it determines the users' access level. It helps admin users in uploading and managing user accounts. Other users can register, validate passwords, save, download, and upload tasks.

DC Project Delivery Senior Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
I have used Visual Studio in my school to develop small applications for college assignments. It's basically for software development.
I use all healthcare tools. I work with digital care, so I work on integration engines, which are basic. I handle the interface engines. Integration engines are what I'm mostly working on. For example, I'm working a lot with Rhapsody and Mirth.
Visual Studio is used by software developers who develop applications. I am just a consultant. I was just trying to manage my skills and have just used it recently.

View full review »The early use of Microsoft Visual Studio was for developing and creating software applications. Then, with technology development, I used Microsoft Visual Studio to create cross-platform software applications such as web, mobile, and desktop applications.
Microsoft Visual Studio also provides debugging tools, project management tools, and source control which makes project management easier for me - especially after I combine it with Git.
Microsoft Visual Studio allows me to create and manage projects, write code, and debug and test applications. Also, it helps me with advanced features to develop applications for the cloud, IoT, and AI.
