Users can create test cases, note defects, and report bugs directly against these user stories hence removing effort duplication and maintaining traceability of the items. An important starting point can be user stories which reside in a Kanban board similar to Azure Boards within ADO. Manual testing remains relevant in today’s software development lifecycle as it is less costly to implement and provides quicker feedback. Azure Test Plans allows customers to create and run manual and exploratory tests without ever leaving the ADO boundaries. Azure DevOps (henceforth ADO) covers all major aspects of development lifecycle in a single offering that encapsulates planning, design, documentation, quality assurance to CI/CD release pipelines. Microsoft with its mission of empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, is building tools to improve the experience of developers at every step of the cycle. Developers love to work on design, write beautiful code that will change the course of humanity but are also required to spent effort on time consuming tasks such as testing and bug fixing. We understand its importance but wished we never have to deal with it ourselves. Quality assurance is often seen as a dry topic. Emphasis for success is in doing short sprints and controlling the quality at every iteration. This marked the beginning of the iteration development in manufacturing and has now progressed into software development. Edwards Deming who realised companies should invest in quality assurance (QA) methods that reduce the workload and save costs. However the poor quality of the products deterred international buyers.
In the 1950s fresh out of defeat in the World War 2, Japan was desperately trying to shift manufacturing from military to civilian products for trade. Japanese products are known for their superior quality, but it wasn’t always the case. The Deming Prize from Japan is the highest honour in Total Quality Management in the world.
