Follow-up from February UG Meeting Lab Management Talk
I had a great evening sharing how Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 helps reduce the overhead of setting up multi-tier test environment, raises the quality bar of your software by eliminating “no-repro” bugs, and enables frequent software releases for testing/user preview with its end-to-end build automation. I hope the audience has also witnessed how a tester can use the Test Manager 2010 to perform the manual testing and report a rich bug – attaching video, IntelliTrace log file, and system information, etc., to the developer.
The PowerPoint deck used during my talk is attached in this blog post.

Not forgetting that Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager play an important role in providing virtualized environment for Lab Management 2010. Learn more about these technologies from the below links.
