Bridging the Gap Between Developers and Testers Using Visual Studio 2010

Introduction

Part 2 of 13 – Automating the Build
Part 3 of 13 – Where’s Our Backlog?
Part 4 of 13 – Adding a Tester to the Team (This Post)

In this session of our conversation, Bridging The Gap Between Developers and Testers Using Visual Studio 2010, Etienne and Vincent talk about the differences between white-box and black-box testing of applications. They switch hats and put on their “tester” hats, introducing us to a new addition to Visual Studio – Test Manager.  Etienne demonstrates how to create a new test plan and add test cases to it. But how do you add a test case? Don’t worry, Etienne and Vincent cover that in the next session of our conversation.

With that, Etienne and Vincent, back to you.

• Visual Studio Test Professional 2010
