Overview of this book

Whether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively. With this book, you’ll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable. You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you’ll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications.

Azure test plans

Azure test plans help you improve your code quality using planned and exploratory testing services for your apps. You can also use Azure test plans with Azure pipelines for your overall CI/CD cycle. It's a simple browser-based tool that can be used to test your web or desktop applications.

With Azure test plans, you can do the following:

  • Manual and exploratory testing:
    • Planned manual testing: Regular testing activities by your testers and test leads. You can organize tests into categories and assign them.
    • User acceptance testing: Generally, these are actual users who have agreed to test the product before launch to verify that the requirements have been met.
    • Exploratory testing: Testing is carried out by the core engineering team that comprises developers, testers, product management, user experience designers, and so on, by exploring the software systems...
