Subscription Renewal

If you renew your 12 month subscription prior to expiration, or after expiration but within the 30 day grace period, you are eligible to purchase a discounted subscription renewal rather than another new subscription.

Easily capture data-driven test iterations on your first pass using Microsoft Test Runner.

Work in a workflow and task-driven manner while having complete control over your plan-test-track workflow.

Top Ten Benefits

Collaborate Effectively across Teams

Work more closely with your development team. Project artifacts are stored in a central repository that facilitates in-context collaboration by reducing waste in hand-off time between tasks. With development and test processes streamlined through integrated tools, you can focus on delivering value over transitioning information between roles.

Rich, Actionable Bugs for Developers

Automatically capture extensible and rich diagnostic information like IntelliTrace logs, indexed videos and screenshots for each new bug. When used with Visual Studio Lab Management 2010, environment snapshots can be attached to bugs enabling developers to connect to the test environment. Now you can effectively reduce the effort consumed in the endless game of “bug Ping-Pong”, making the “no-repro” discussion a thing of the past.

Automate Your Repetitive Tasks

Easily capture data-driven test iterations on your first pass using Microsoft Test Runner. Use Fast Forward for Manual Testing to quickly navigate to the right places within your test cases to continue verification steps in subsequent passes. Accelerate your testing cycle further by utilizing share steps throughout your test plan.

More Test Coverage with Exploratory Testing

Focus your time and energy on discovering complex bugs through exploratory testing. Test Professional 2010 allows you to file exploratory bugs equally rich to those discovered through controlled test plans. Create test cases directly from exploratory bugs with action logs automatically filled in.

Built-In Test Prioritization Tools

With a built-in capability to collect Test Impact data, you can access a list of recommended tests due to code changes and know which bugs are addressed in a given build. Now you can drive the right decision about when to pick up a new build, greatly reducing wasted time and effort.

Take Control of Your Work Items

Work in a task-driven manner using Microsoft Test Manager 2010 to maintain your plan-test-track workflow. You can even use Microsoft Excel or a browser to view lists of test cases. Flexible architecture allows customizing and workflow control of bugs, user stories, tasks and requirements to map to your desired processes with options like default values, string pattern matching, dependent pick lists, and rules.

Full Visibility into Your Test Progress

Utilize Microsoft BI tooling like Excel, Reporting Services and SharePoint for rich, detailed and interactive progress and status reports. Powerful reporting and dashboards provide insight and visibility into overall project health and historical trending. Plus, real-time quality metrics and leading indicators like Bug Find/Fix Rate, Code Coverage and Test Pass Rate provide early warnings of potential problems so you can proactively address them.

Virtual Lab Management Made Simple

Integrated with Lab Management 2010, Test Professional 2010 helps significantly reduce the cost of setting up, configuring, provisioning and maintaining complex multi-machine test environments. Easily and rapidly provision virtual environments at a known clean state. Lab Management 2010 lets you have more test cycles per machine while ensuring predictable build-deploy-test workflows.

End-to-End Traceability

User stories and requirements can be easily accessed through Team Explorer, which lets you trace them from birth through implementation to testing and onto release. Team Explorer also serves as your single launch point for cross-subject area reporting, allowing you to view links from test cases to user stories or requirements.

MSDN Subscription Included

MSDN Subscriptions are a convenient way to cost-effectively develop applications on the Microsoft platform with a simple licensing model and broad high quality information resources.
