Agile Quality Assurance with Microsoft® Test Manager and TFS: 3 days Hands-on Training Course

Agile Quality Assurance

This 3-day course starts with a refresh of the agile values and principles and quickly dives into hands-on exercises for integrating quality assurance practices with agile software development teams, making use of the many supporting features of Microsoft Test Manager, Lab Manager, and Team Foundation Server. The four phases are:

Planning: Students will develop test strategies and test cases to verify requirements and learn to identify meaningful testable acceptance criteria.

Executing: Students will execute test plans and test cases while taking advantage of the key features of the tools.

Collaborating: Students will experience real-time collaboration techniques to communicate details of bugs, facilitate triage, and resolve issues.

Reporting: Students will learn about quality metrics and how their work measurably improves the quality of the system-under-development.
