Assuring Quality Using Azure Test Plans

Azure DevOps provides a set of cloud-hosted tools that software teams can use as an end-to-end solution to plan, develop, test, and deliver value in the form of working software. Azure Test Plans enable a team to plan, track, and assess quality throughout the entire development effort. This course will demonstrate how an agile team can configure and use Azure Test Plans to effectively assure quality in web and desktop applications. 
 
This course contains several modules, progressively explaining how to use Azure Test Plans to plan, track, and manage the software product testing effort. To maximize learning, students will work in teams, in a common team project, on a common case study.
 
Who Should Attend
This course is appropriate for all members of a software development team, especially those who are actively involved in defining, assuring, and increasing the overall quality of their software products. This course will also provide value for individuals outside the development team (managers, Scrum Masters, coaches, and other stakeholders) who want hands-on exposure to the capabilities of Azure Test Plans.
