Presentation: "Bringing developers and testers closer together with Visual Studio"

Time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05

Location: Rutherford Room, Fourth Floor

Abstract:

Testers want to focus on executing tests, not filling in bug reports. Developers want to address bugs quickly in order to focus on new capabilities.

This session demonstrates how Visual Studio 2010 supports closer collaboration between developers and testers by walking through the lifecycle of a bug and showing how testers can focus on executing their tests while providing more information to developers, who can address bugs much more easily and without having to request more information.
