Testing A Key Element In Visual Studio

• Support for multiple roles
• Test Author (Developers, DB Pros and QA Testers)
• Executor and Organizer of Tests
• Build Lab support
• Support for multiple views
• Test View authoring
• Test Explorer execution
• Test Results outcome
• Code Coverage Results test effectiveness
• Command line and Automated Build Server support
• Integrates into the bigger picture
• Work item tracking
• Source code control
• Reporting system
• Extensible Open architecture allows for future
  test types to be added

Test TypesOut Of The Box

• Unit Tests code that exercises your projects
  functions/methods
• Web Tests record and playback interaction with

• Via the IDE
• From the Command Line
• Through an Microsoft Build Task
• Integration into the bigger picture
• Source code control
• Issue/Work item tracking
• Microsoft Solutions Framework

Business Requirements
16
Linking Tests to Work Items
You can link tests to specific work items This
will allow association between test runs
(results) and the work item Data will
automatically be gathered for you when running
tests Reports will show the relationship
automatically
17
Creating Work Items from Tests
You can create a new work item from a test result
(or add to an existing one)
18
Test Results get published!
19
Check-In Policies
20
Build And Deployment
Tests can be automatically executed (unattended)
in builds
21
Linkage between tests and requirements
22
Quality metrics driven by test
