Hi MiguelDeHoyos,

Like David mentioned above, currently, the differences between Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Enterprise are listed here: Compare Visual Studio 2019 Editions. But I’m afraid, for more detailed information about each feature, you need to refer to other single introduction documents. You can start from this document: Visual Studio IDE documentation.

And For features like “Live Dependency Validation”, “Architectural Layer Diagrams” and “Architecture Validation”, you can refer to this document: Validate code with dependency diagrams.

For features like “IntelliTrace”, “Code Map Debugger Integration” and “.NET Memory Dump Analysis”, you can refer to these documents: IntelliTrace for Visual Studio Enterprise (C#, Visual Basic, C++), Use code maps to debug your applications and Collecting and analyzing memory dumps, and for “Snapshot Debugger” and “Time Travel Debugging (Preview)”, please refer to these documents: View Snapshots in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise or above and Time Travel Debugging.

For features like “Live Unit Testing”, “IntelliTest”, “Microsoft Fakes (Unit Test Isolation)” and “Code Coverage”, you can refer to these documents: How to configure and use Live Unit Testing, How to: Generate unit tests by using IntelliTest, Isolate code under test with Microsoft Fakes and Use code coverage to determine how much code is being tested.

For features like “Embedded Assemblies”, “Xamarin Inspector” and “Xamarin Profiler”, please refer to these documents: Bundle Assemblies into Native Code, Xamarin Inspector and Xamarin Profiler.

Besides, I will help to report your requirements to VS Product Team and try to update and improve the related documents(contents).

Hope this could help you a little.

Sincerely,
Tianyu

Have you not found the obvious search results such as this web page?
If you need more detailed information I suspect you'll have to search for information on the individual features that differentiate the versions.
