This two-day course is designed for testers who need to gain a solid practical knowledge of testing applications using Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2017 or Visual Studio Team Services.
What you'll learn
This two-day course is designed for testers who need to gain a solid
practical knowledge of testing applications using Microsoft Team
Foundation Server 2017 or Visual Studio Team Services. The course
focuses primarily on the use of the web-based Test Hub, with some topics
including Microsoft Test Manager 2017, which is both a standalone
product and part of Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition. The
course teaches you how to design test plans that include test cases,
test suites, and test configurations. Best practices are also discussed,
including how you can use shared parameters and shared steps to reduce
maintenance overhead. We will examine how the web-based Test &
Feedback extension improves productivity by allowing you to spend more
time finding issues, and less time filing them. Attendees will learn how
testers and developers can work more closely together to reduce the time
it takes to find and fix software defects. Testers will learn how to
manage their test plans over multiple iterations and how cloning and
copying between test plans can save time and effort. We also look at
how you can add, edit, and execute tests using the Kanban board. Finally
weâ??ll examine creating a test/QA dashboard to illustrate
progress and take a brief look at test automation. This course
includes hands-on labs to reinforce practical skills and ensure
youâ??re ready to use the tools upon your return to the workplace.
Prerequisites
Attendees should be familiar with testing theory and practices.
