Exploratory Testing
• Exploratory testing is the
testing of an application
without a set of tests defined in
advance. During an exploratory
test session, you are not
restricted to a script or a set of
predetermined steps. Some
improvements have been made
to the exploratory testing in
Microsoft Test Manager.
Coded UI Testing
• Coded UI tests provide a way to
create fully automated tests to
validate the functionality and
behavior of your application’s user
interface. You can create coded UI
tests directly from existing action
recordings. Action recordings
contain the steps taken during
manual testing of an application.
Web Performance Testing
• Any new Web performance and
load testing efforts you create in
Visual Studio are now created in a
Web performance and load test
project type instead of a test
project. A Web performance test
consists of a series of HTTP
requests. Web performance tests
work at the protocol layer by issuing
HTTP requests.
Load Testing
• Load tests consist of a series of Web
performance tests or unit tests
which operate under multiple
simulated users over a period of
time. Load tests can also include
automated coded UI tests. Coded
UI tests should be included only
under specific circumstances. All the
scenarios that use coded UI tests in
load tests involve using the coded
UI tests as performance tests.
 View the performance
data from Application
Insights
 Application counters are
correlated with the user
load
 Understand what issues
may be causing any
performance problems
 Easily go to Application
Insights if you need to do
a more detailed analysis

Lab Management
• Testing a complex multi-tiered
application and creating different
configurations in a user-flow can
be challenging. Lab
Management provides teams a
powerful and flexible
development and test lab
environment to enable scalable
build-deploy-test workflow and
continuous integration through
environment templates.
