Climbing the Agile Testing Ladder featuring VS 2013, TFS 2013, and MTM

Presented by Adam Cogan and Damian Brady

Let’s do a lap around the improvements to Microsoft Test Manager and see how the world has improved with manual, exploratory, and automated testing. In this session, we will:

• Talk about how stakeholders can start a discussion with the Feedback tool

• Show how the initial testing experience is now in the web and the advanced experience is in Microsoft Test Manager

• Use Visual Studio to author automated tests that can be played back against a variety of browsers

• Look at a technique that will allow you to test across different devices and form factors

• Explain how Lab Management setup and administration has improved dramatically.

Whether you’re a tester or a developer, this session is for you.
