9. Customer Challenges QA is not aligned with lifecycle Developers and testers work in silos QA is not leveraged
10. Goals for 2010 Release - Testing Align QA with the Lifecycle Create tighter Dev/Test interaction Enable highly leveraged QA teams
11. Visual Studio 2010 Test Capabilities specialist generalist coded ui test unit testing web performance test test runner load test test case management virtual lab management data diagnostic adapters (video, action log, event log etc) team foundation server with reporting (bugs, requirements, user stories, source control, build)
78. Coded UI Testing Enables verification of UI functionality. Record test actions and VS will generate the resulting code. Assertions can be added to verify functionality. Like all VS tests, results can be stored in TFS.
79. 47 From Test->new test, click Coded UI test, specify test name and project name
116. 77 Dev clicks on lvr link & selects connect to snapshot of the environment
117. 78 Dev is able to access the snapshot’ed environment via LE viewer

We found that customers pain points bucketed themselves into three things areasTesters are not aligned with the lifecycle. Finding out a code change is impacting their day at work (test more, go home late, miss the time with kids). Testers and developers work in silo’s often causing significant dis-satisfaction and un-happiness and creating an environment of lack of respect across the two teams. Testers are smart, developers often don’t give them the respect they deserve because they see testers filing poor defects, not really impacting quality. Testing teams are not really leveraged well as they waste so much time doing the basic things. Just getting their bugs looked at take so much time that they cannot spend quality time doing what they love and provide better service to the broader teams.
The 2010 release for Microsoft is a very big release with a lot of rich capabilities. Quality is a key pillars for the release planning efforts and we aspired to achieve the above goals with the test offerings in the 2010 release by taking a fresh look at the problems.We want to align QA with the lifecycle to ensure that testers can add more value to the application lifecycle and are not looked at “necessary evil”. Having test assets co-located with the dev assets & project assets ensures visibility across the entire team.Create tighter integration across development & test teams to ensure that we can eliminate waste across the hand shake (or lack there of) that happens across devs & tests when it comes to bugs, builds, recreation of bugs etc. Enable highly leveraged QA teams ensures that teams are most efficient and are driving up productivity by focusing on key tasks and eliminating a lot of the waste that spans from boring repetitive tasks.
This is the fully animated slide.

This would normally go in the Testing section but want to demonstrate it here during the build process.
