Software systems are increasingly ubiquitous in all aspects of our lives. Failures in these systems can be costly in terms of money, time, and business reputation. In this course, you'll learn how to create new environments within the Lab Center including how to execute test cases in a lab environment. You'll also learn how to analyze recommended test and work items and how to perform an analysis of your reports, work with out-of-the box reports, and customize out-of-the-box reports. This course also addresses how to manage your work item relationships and requirements including how to create work item queries and perform bulk updates in Microsoft Excel. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the 70-497: Software Testing with Visual Studio certification exam.
