In this post, Sr. App Dev Manager Susan Leighton<\/a> explains how Microsoft Testing Services leads to improved DevOps outcomes.<\/p>\n

As you move through the application development process on the way to your planned deployment, have you ever felt any doubts regarding the quality of your solution?\u00a0 Have you ever wondered if you considered all the use cases for functional testing?\u00a0 Have you wondered if you defined the right types of loads for load testing?\u00a0 What about regression testing \u2013 was it completed to the depth needed?\u00a0 And usability and accessibility testing \u2013 are you comfortable checking them off?\u00a0 Do you have a test strategy \u2013 and is it effective?\u00a0 Is there room for improvement in any of these areas?\u00a0 Will my users be delighted?\u00a0 Ask yourself, am I ready to ship?<\/p>\n

What about important events?\u00a0 Maybe you aren\u2019t actually deploying a new version of your app, but you need to ensure your app can handle some unusual upcoming forecasted load \u2013 like a big holiday retail event, a public election, or a sporting event.\u00a0\u00a0 What kind of load testing \u2013 which operations, which functions, from which locales, etc. \u2013 should be performed, and how much load should be tested?<\/p>\n

Microsoft offers a service to work with you on all of the above concerns, removing the anxiety from your processes and allowing you to focus on a successful deployment or an \u201cuneventful\u201d important event.<\/p>\n
