It's based on a Visual Studio shell and co-released with SQL Server. New versions of SSDT integrate the very latest features of SQL Server. Older versions include the templates and design environment that were current for that release.

SSDT is backwards compatible, which means you can always use [the newest SSDT](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt204009.aspx) to design and deploy databases, models, reports, and packages that run on older versions of SQL Server. You can also use any of the previously released versions listed below.

> Historically, the Visual Studio shell used to create SQL Server content types has been released under various names, including **SQL Server Data Tools**, **SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence**, and **Business Intelligence Development Studio**. Previous versions came with distinct sets of project templates. To get all of the project templates together in one SSDT, you need [the newest version](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt204009.aspx). Otherwise, you will probably need to install multiple previous versions to get all of the templates used in SQL Server. Only one shell will be installed per version of Visual Studio; installing a second SSDT just adds the missing templates.
