Visual Studio For Mac Does Not Have Addin Managerial Accounting

I have done some digging and can see that Visual Studio for Mac should offer a way to create 'Office add-in' projects which will be based on Office-JS API (JavaScript) instead of the .Net COM technology.

Hi Sangi54, Welcome to the MSDN forum. Test Manager (MTM) is part of VS Test Professional or VS Ultimate version. That is, if you have installed VS Test Professional or VS Ultimate you do not need to install MTM separately. Visual Studio for Mac was recently released so you might want to check it out. Keep in mind that it is nothing like Visual Studio for Windows as VS Mac is really just a rebranded Xamarin Studio.

However, in Visual Studio for Mac 7.0.1 -> New Project, I cannot see any add-in or Office option. I am using Community version so that could be the problem. But before I can upgrade to Enterprise or Professional, I need to be sure that has the Office add-in option.

You can use the Yeoman generator to create an Office Add-in on Mac. It'll automatically create the project scaffolding for you, and then you can use the editor of your choice (including Visual Studio for Mac) to modify the code for your add-in. Check out these resources for detailed info about creating an Office Web Add-in using Yeoman generator:

(I don't personally know whether or not any version of Visual Studio for Mac offers built-in support for creating Office Web Add-ins; I'll do some digging and update my answer here if I'm able to find definitive info on that.)
