Overview of this book

Developing applications for the cloud involves changing development methodologies and procedures. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes are a must today, but are often difficult to implement and adopt. Azure DevOps is a Microsoft Azure cloud service that enhances your application development life cycle and enables DevOps capabilities. Starting with a comprehensive product overview, this book helps you to understand Azure DevOps and apply DevOps techniques to your development projects. You'll find out how to adopt DevOps techniques for your development processes by using built-in Azure DevOps tools. Throughout the course of this book, you'll also discover how to manage a project with the help of project management techniques such as Agile and Scrum, and then progress toward development aspects such as source code management, build pipelines, code testing and artifacts, release pipelines, and GitHub integration. As you learn how to implement DevOps practices, this book will also provide you with real-world examples and scenarios of DevOps adoption. By the end of this DevOps book, you will have learned how to adopt and implement Azure DevOps features in your real-world development processes.

Introduction to Azure Test Plans

Manual and exploratory testing can be key testing techniques in delivering quality and a great user experience for your applications. In modern software development processes, quality is the responsibility of all the team members, including developers, managers, business analysts, and product owners.

To drive that quality, Azure DevOps Test Plans offers powerful tools that can be used by everyone in the team. And by embedding your test plans in Azure DevOps, testing can be done throughout the whole development life cycle as well.

Azure DevOps Test Plans offers support for planned manual testing, user acceptance testing, exploratory testing, and stakeholder feedback. This will be covered in more detail in the following sections.

Let's look at each of them in detail in the following sections. In the next section, we are going to cover exploratory testing.
