Tools to Make Software Testing Easier -1-
Hello everyone,
From now on, my goal is to create a list of articles. This list will contain things I find helpful in my business life. It is the first article on that list. I wish you good reading.
I would like to share a tool that I think can be extremely useful for those who are Azure DevOps users and are responsible for systems testing. It’s called “Test & Feedback”. So what does this tool do?
With “Test & Feedback” you can easily create bugs, tasks, or test cases by taking screenshots, page load data, action logs, notes, and screen recordings together or separately during testing, and connect everything you have created to the user story in Azure DevOps. In this manner, you can quickly transfer the problems existing in the system to the developers and save time.
Two modes are available in this tool. The first mode is the connected mode. This mode is the one that I explained in the previous paragraph. I use this mode frequently as an active Azure DevOps user. It is available to all users of Azure DevOps and TFS 2015 or later. The second mode is standalone. With this mod, you can use this tool even if you are not a user of Azure DevOps or TFS 2015 or later. The standalone mode gives you all the bugs in a report format. Unfortunately, you cannot create tasks and test cases when using standalone mode.
Before starting the test, select the mode you want to use from the settings section.
STANDALONE
- Select the standalone mode from the connection settings.
- Start the session from the play button at the extension.
- Perform the system test.
- Find bugs.
- Capture the browser, screen, or application from the extension.
- If you wish, take notes on the screenshot and draw. - Create a bug from the extension.
- Finish the session from the stop button at the extension.
- When you end the session, the report of that session will appear automatically on the screen.
CONNECTED
- Select the connected mode from the connection settings and enter the server URL.
- Select project team.
- Start the session from the play button at the extension.
- Explore work items from the extension and link a user story.
-You don’t have to link to the user story. If you skip this step bugs, tasks or test cases performed at the session will automatically log into the work item list. - Perform the system test.
- Capture the browser, screen, or application from the extension. Take a screen recording.
- If you wish, take notes on the screenshot and draw. - Create a bug, task, or test case from the extension.
- Finish the session from the stop button at the extension.
- When you end the session, all the bugs, tasks, and test cases automatically appear in the user story linked to the test.
You can find detailed information on Microsoft’s website and easily add “Test and Feedback” from the Google Chrome web store.
