Visual Studio Test Pro Sub MSDN Software Assurance

Visual Studio Test Professional is an integrated testing toolset for both individual developers, as well as developing teams. If you have experience in software development, Visual Studio can be used to test applications you've developed. It can conduct, record and repeat manual tasks making your process faster and easier, and can define or manage your testing efforts with test plans. It also enables you to perform exploratory tests without requiring predefined test cases or test steps. Another feature is integrated test case management to coordinate all test management activities.

Browser-based testing enables you to run manual tests and record the results for each step using a toolset optimised for the needs of your testers. It includes pass-fail results, tracking of test steps, commenting and bug reporting capabilities. The Microsoft Test Manager is a fully configurable test runner tool that captures and displays detailed records of steps, behaviours and the status of each test step. You can pause testing to report bugs, record test for playback and to speed test sessions.

With a subscription, you get the software and its benefits, including access to a library of current and past Microsoft software, advanced developer tools, training courses, cloud services, resources and professional support. This product also provides a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), which is a portion of Microsoft responsible for managing the company's relationship with developers and testers through websites, newsletters, conferences, blogs and even DVD distribution.

Microsoft Software Assurance is also included, which is a maintenance program aimed at business users of Microsoft products.
