that delivers a complete plan-test-track workflow for in-context collaboration between testers and developers, in order to increase testers’ visibility to the overall project.
Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 provides a modern interface for manual testing that walks you through test steps while collecting important information to include in bugs—items like Diagnostic Trace, Event Log, Action Log, Network Emulation, and System Information—that can be filed directly from the test interface.
The IntelliTrace feature in Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 makes the "no-repro" discussion a thing of the past. Testers can file rich and actionable bugs with system information. That way developers can reproduce the reported bug in the state it was found.
Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 supports Fast Forward for Manual Testing, allowing testers to record test steps in a sequential order, then playback and pause the recording as if they were performing the test steps manually. The resulting recording can be reused in regression testing of the same test case.
