03

16. Put quality at the center of
everything you do
Agile test planning and execution
Monitor & share quality status

17. Test Case
Management
Streamline quality
Take advantage of a toolset optimized for the
needs of testers, giving them flexibility in how
they work while at the same time keeping them
in sync with the rest of the team
Improved web-based Test Case Management
helps testers author, manage and execute test
cases using any modern web browser
Microsoft Test Manager further empowers your
testers by giving them comprehensive tools for
automated and manual testing in a desktop
application optimized for the needs of today’s
agile QA professional

18. Manual &
Exploratory Testing
Run, record, play back
Capture detailed records of steps performed,
behaviors observed, and the status of each test
step with the fully-instrumented and configurable
Test Runner. Pause testing at any time to report
a bug, even if it’s not directly related to the
current test case
High-fidelity defect reports go directly to the
development team, including all the technical
data needed to reproduce and resolve the error
quickly. Record tests for later playback to speed
up test sessions and enable test automation

19. Browser-based
Testing
Testing in the browser
Run manual tests and record test results for
each test step using a toolset optimized for the
needs of testers
The web-based test runner enables pass-fail
results, tracking of test steps, rich commenting,
and bug reporting capabilities

20. Feedback
Management
Actionable feedback
Once you have working software, you're ready
to get feedback from your stakeholders. You
can ask reviewers to provide videos, screenshots,
type-written comments, and ratings
Their feedback is captured into work items that
you can review and use to create a bug or
suggest a new backlog item

21. Quality
Dashboards
Monitor quality status
Build dashboards that provide visibility to your
team and stakeholders. Stop worrying where to
find things and instead use Visual Studio Online
or TFS to get everyone on the same page

22. Manage complexity and close
the loop between Dev and Ops
Lab management
Continuous delivery
Enterprise DevOps

23. Lab Management
Dev/Test lab environments
Automate your virtual lab environment with
Visual Studio Lab Management
Use templates to define/launch environment
configurations for consistent testing
Provision dev/test lab environments quickly for
testers and developers

24. Release
Management
Ship better apps, faster
Visual Studio Release Management makes it
easy to automate deployment and testing of
your applications in multiple environments
Teams can create release definitions and
automate deployment in repeatable, reliable
ways while tracking simultaneous in-flight
releases
Incorporate automated functional tests or
manual approvals in a release definition to
automate the release process all the way to
production
