Good evening all, it is with great pleasure to announce the next Gold Coast .Net user group meeting! I'd like to thank everyone for their kind emails, and interest in kicking the user group back into gear. I've been working in Sydney since September last year and arrived back two weeks ago. I'm really looking forward to putting a lot of focus back into the group.
No sooner did I get back, did Anthony Borton offer to give a talk on an excelent topic. He also has an awesome promotion going at the moment for attendees, which I recommend you check out via the link below, and get along on Thursday!
This month’s Gold Coast .NET SIG meeting looks at the recently released Microsoft Visual Studio® Team Test 2010 Beta 1 product and how it can drastically reduce the “find and fix” time for bugs that are raised by your testers. Today, significant time is often wasted trying to reproduce bugs with limited success and labelling bugs as “No-repro” can be frustrating for both testers and developers.
Microsoft’s new Test and Lab Manager Application allows testers to create, manage and execute tests quickly and easily in a dedicated user interface. Using Test Cases, Test Suites and Test Plans, testers will find the new features allow them to better participate as a full team member in Visual Studio Team System.
The session will touch on the following features of the Visual Studio Team Test 2010 product.
Anthony Borton is a Development Process Specialist for Enhance ALM Pty Ltd, an Australian consulting and training company specializing in Application Lifecycle Management and Microsoft Visual Studio Team System. He has been working with Visual Studio Team System full-time since 2005. Anthony has worked with a variety of companies ranging in size from just 3 employees up to some of Australia’s largest companies and financial institutions. Anthony is the lead Microsoft Technical Readiness Instructor in Australia for Microsoft Visual Studio and has presented at the Microsoft launch events for both VSTS2005 and VSTS2008. Anthony is a Microsoft MVP (Team System), a Certified Scrum Master and a member of the INETA Speakers Bureau. He is also the president of the QLD VSTS users group and maintains a blog at http://www.myvstsblog.com
I look forward to seeing all of you this Thursday. Bring your thinking caps for what you would like to see this user group doing in future, after all, it's your group. Feel free to contact me anytime, about anything.
Cheers Shea Strickland
