The Software Testing using using TFS training course focuses primarily on the use of the web-based Test Hub, with some topics including Microsoft Test Manager. The course teaches on 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. You 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 will examine creating a test/QA dashboard to illustrate progress and take a brief look at test automation.
By attending Software Testing using using TFS workshop, delegates will learn to:

- Create high quality, maintainable test cases
- Execute tests using both the web-based test runner and Microsoft Test Runner
- Use Test Case Fast Forward to help speed up the testing process
- Create actionable, high quality bug reports
- Verify resolved bugs and manage the bug lifecycle
- Conduct exploratory testing using the Test & Feedback extension
- Conduct exploratory testing using Microsoft Test Manager
- Manage test plans over multiple iterations and releases
- Create a dashboard to show test status and progress
