This two-day course is designed for testers who need to gain a solid practical knowledge of testing applications using Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018 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.
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.
The course also looks at how you can add, edit, and execute tests using the Kanban board. Finally we’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 you’re ready to use the tools upon your return to the workplace.This course is equally applicable to teams using either Visual Studio Team Services or an on-premises Team Foundation Server.
