Azure DevOps Test Plans (2 evenings - Sep 1+9)

Azure DevOps Test Plans enables teams to structure, execute and follow up on testing directly in Azure DevOps, from test cases and test suites to traceability, reporting and the link to automated tests.

Description

• In this online course we work hands-on with Test Plans and explore how the tool can support modern test management in both agile and more traditional development setups.
• We cover how to build test plans, organize test work, execute tests, report results, and connect manual testing with automation.
• The course is practice-oriented and built around demonstrations and hands-on exercises in the participants’ own Azure DevOps environments.
• Along the way we address common challenges, best practices, and how to avoid Test Plans becoming heavy administration rather than a tool that creates value.
