Description

Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a collaborative software development tool by Microsoft that provides automated builds, testing and various other features. So, if you're a software professional who want to explore the automation features of TFS, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

The highlights of this Learning Path are

Use the Web Performance Test Results Viewer to create and run a web performance test

Create a new build definition and configure a build task

Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey. You will start with the web performance and load test for different types of testing. You will then move on to understand how to configure and run web performance tests. You will then see how to create and execute load tests. Next, you are going to explore the build features in TFS. You will setup and configure the environment that will be able to run Windows and non-Windows builds. Once you have seen how to author build definitions, you will take a closer look at builds. Finally, you will look at the many ways to customize and extend the builds as well as other features and enhancements.

On the completion of this Learning Path, you will be well versed with the automation features available in the Team Foundation Server.
