Overview

This two day course is designed for testers looking to get up to speed with Visual Studio 2010 as quickly as possible. At the start of the course, we look at Agile Testing and how we can better work as part of Agile development teams. The course then focuses on features of Microsoft Test Professional 2010 which is a standalone product or part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate edition.

The course teaches you how to plan and execute your tests using the Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) product. It looks at test suites, test plans, test cases and test configurations and how you can make your tests as resilient as possible.
During the course attendees will also learn how testers and developers can work more closely together to reduce the time it takes to find and fix software defects. Through the efficient use of new data collectors, developers should be able to pinpoint issues quicker than ever before.

One of the key topics that should also interest teams is how they can effectively report testing progress and the status of various test suites and test cases.

Towards the end of the course, attendees will also see the powerful new Team Lab Management product and see how it can assist you in rapidly provisioning complete test environments based on Microsoft Hyper-V.

This course includes hands-on labs to reinforce practical skills and ensure you’re ready to use the tools on your return to your workplace.
