Visual Studio Testing Tools enables development teams ensure higher quality applications and adopt latest testing practices. These Testing tools provide insightful information enabling development teams to reproduce\u00a0 and fix issues sooner and faster. Ensuring higher quality applications and a better customer experience. In addition, the testing team can be more productive while planning, executing and tracking tests, both with the web-based test tools using Visual Studio Team Services or with the rich experience provided by Visual Studio and Microsoft Test Manager. One of the most common requests<\/a> for Visual Studio Testing Tool, is for getting started content.\u00a0 To this end this post will highlight the labs, videos<\/a> and getting started posts that will help you get started.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be doing a presentation on all the new Test Tools feature this presentation<\/a>\u00a0or this one Dev313_CI_Test_TechReady22<\/a>\u00a0may help you!<\/p>\n
