Agenda VSTS Overview. Hardware Virtualization – A quick intro Demo: Virtualization in Action Dev &Test Challenges How Lab Management addresses them – Demos Lab Management in a nut shell Q & A

Visual Studio Team System (VSTS)

Hardware Virtualization Enables running multiple operating systems (Virtual Machines) in a single physical box

Virtualization in Action!

Dev and Test Challenges Loss of productivity due to time consuming and error prone setup of multi-machine test environments.

One click environment setup!

Dev and Test Challenges.. Non reproducible bugs resulting in bug ping- pong and poor quality

Creating a rich bug made easy Repro of a bug made easy

Dev and Test Challenges.. Unable to release early and often due to process overheads. Setting up daily builds is complex. Even if we get daily builds we need clean environments Deployment of N tier application is time consuming and error prone Is build quality good enough for further testing.

Lab Management in a nut shell Improve Productivity Rapid setup of multi-machine environments Improve Quality Developers get access to rich set of debugging information and environment with the same state when the bug was found. Consistently and reliably reproduce Test environments across client/vendor sites Improve Agility Develop and test early and often through end to end process automation.

Reducing overall costs using Lab Management Significantly reduces environment setup and application deployment costs Teams spend 30% of cycle time in environment setup and build deployments. Improves Hardware utilization Under 30% utilization of dev/test assets Significantly reduces cost of bug fixing Enable easy repro through check pointing Testing against realistic environment helps early bug detection.
