Data science & analytical applications
Editing
An editor that knows your code
Let Visual Studio think about your code and tell you which types go where. Tooltips, completions and code snippets make you more productive.
Libraries
Find and install the libraries you need
Third-party libraries are the fastest way to solve your problems. Use our pip, PyPI and virtual environment support to manage your projects and dependencies.
Debugging
Interactively diagnose issues with your code on Windows and Linux
None of us write perfect code all the time, but when it goes wrong Visual Studio can help. Visually step through your code, view or modify state, and interact with your program regardless of the operating system.
Version Control integration
Collaborate on code with Git
Use Git as the default source control experience in Visual Studio right out of the box. From the new Git menu, you can create or clone repositories from GitHub or Azure DevOps. Use the integrated Git tool windows to commit and push changes to your code, manage branches, sync with your remote repositories, and resolve merge conflicts.
Unit tests
Validate your changes in the editor
Make sure your code is working correctly without leaving Visual Studio. View, edit, run, and debug unit test-style tests from the Test Window.
Open source
Fork us on Github
