In this final session of our conversation, Bridging The Gap Between Developers and Testers Using Visual Studio 2010, Etienne and Vincent go through the full end-to-end process, from running the build, deploying the build, running the automated tests, producing result reports, and creating bugs for issues that were found. As part of the setup to do this, Etienne shows how to configure automated remote deployments and tests. Last but not least, Etienne and Vincent go through ALM reports that can be produced by Team Foundation Server.

With that, Etienne and Vincent, back to you.

This session brings this conversation to an end. Let’s review what was covered in this conversation.

We saw:

  • How easy it is to migrate from VSS to TFS 2010
  • How easy it is to create a simple build with TFS Build 2010
  • The interaction between developers and testers
  • A simple branch and merge strategy
  • New tools for developers and testers
  • A complete lab environment for the whole team
