Kill Bugs Faster and Build and Run Your Virtual Test Lab Using Microsoft Visual Studio Lab Management 2010

Developers, testers, project managers, and pointy-haired bosses... Come one, come all, and learn how to add a new tool to your kit to find and kill bugs faster. Watch as Brian fires up Microsoft’s new Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 with Team Foundation Server 2010. He’ll use this to create a virtual test environment on top of Hyper-V that mimics a production environment. Something you can do too—whether for an in-house configuration or for your customers. Using the Build features of Team Foundation Server 2010 with Team Lab, you can automate the deployment of a single virtual machine or an entire virtual domain, and Brian shows you how. Then you can execute automated tests in this virtual environment to increase your automated test coverage. In addition, your testers can use the virtual environment to run manual tests. Finally, the best part of all of this is that if a bug is found, they can snapshot the virtual environment and provide that to a developer so they can ferret out the bug right where it reared its ugly head. Brian shows you this, too and why you’ll want to create your own virtual test lab and manage it with Visual Studio Lab Management.
