GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio: Agents That Debug, Profile, and Test | BRK207

From the creator

Every IDE has agentic code generation now, but Visual Studio goes further with built-in agents that tackle what code generation can't. In this demo-heavy session, you'll see agents root-cause bugs using live runtime behavior, pinpoint performance bottlenecks and recommend targeted fixes, and build test coverage to catch regressions before they ship. These aren't just code-writing agents. They help enterprise C#, .NET, and C++ developers improve code quality with expert-level diagnostics. Seating for this session is first-come, first-served. Add it to your schedule to plan your day and arrive early to secure a spot.
