 - **Mock code using task list**. If you don't have enough requirements to complete a piece of code, use Task List to track code comments that use tokens such as `TODO` and `HACK`, or custom tokens, and to manage shortcuts that take you directly to a predefined location in code. For more information, see [Use the Task List](../ide/using-the-task-list.md).
 
 - **Use Solution Explorer shortcuts**. If you're new to Visual Studio, these shortcuts come in handy and save you time while you're coming up to speed on a new codebase.
