Microsoft Road Show - The Full Testing Experience
Meeting New Business Challenges with Dynamic Quality Assurance
Kansas City 11/18/2010

We all know that Quality matters. It’s a top of mind issue for every business, but delivering quality software has always been a daunting task. Often times quality is cut short by project time overruns and multiple rework cycles between development and QA that seem to go on forever.

Are you frustrated???...well there is a better way!!!

Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 makes a real impact on software quality. It’s an integrated testing solution that delivers a complete plan-test-track workflow. It allows the user to quickly identify quality related bugs and easily report them with rich actionable information. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate allows the developer to address these issues with ease, reducing the time it takes to solve a problem by almost 60%. This translates into tremendous cost savings, greater level of productivity, and higher quality standards throughout the development lifecycle.

Team Foundation Server 2010 provides full traceability of test progress, from requirements through deployment with real-time quality metrics AND COLLABORATION. The NET EFFECT is the team is able to make informed, timely decisions, driving down the risks common to every software development project.
