AQATP | 1 Day
Plan, track, and assure quality across your whole development effort with Azure Test Plans. This one-day course is designed to help agile teams configure and use Azure Test Plans to manage testing for web and desktop applications, from test case design to exploratory testing and bug reporting. You’ll work in teams in a shared Azure DevOps project, testing a common case study the way a real team would.
Who should take this course?
This course is for anyone on a software development team, especially those involved in defining, assuring, and improving the quality of their software. It’s equally valuable for people outside the development team, including managers, Scrum Masters, coaches, and other stakeholders, who want hands-on exposure to what Azure Test Plans can do. Experience writing and running tests on an agile team is helpful but not required.
Course Content
This course progressively builds your fluency with Azure Test Plans, from setting up a project and designing test cases to running manual, exploratory, and automated tests.
