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.

Comprehensive testing should be added to each software development project, because it delivers quality and a great user experience for your applications. We will begin with a brief introduction to Azure Test Plans. Then we will look at how you can manage test plans, suites, and cases in Azure DevOps. We will run and analyze a test as well. After that, we will cover exploratory testing and we will install the Test & Feedback extension.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introduction to Azure Test Plans
  • Exploratory testing
  • Installing and using the Test & Feedback extension
  • Planned manual testing
  • Test plans, test suites, and test cases
  • Managing test plans, test suites, and test cases
