After completing this module, students will be able to:
· Use parameters to make manual tests more resilient.
· Use shared steps to simplify test creation and maintenance.
· Create multiple configurations to support additional operating systems and browser types.
· Run simple manual tests by using Team Web Access.
· Create test cases with multiple steps by using Team Web Access.
· Perform exploratory testing by using Microsoft Test Manager.
· Create a bug from an exploratory testing session.
· Create a test case from an exploratory testing session.

Module 6: Improving Testing Practices
This module encourages the students to think about the future. Manual testing is pretty straightforward, and Microsoft Test Manager makes it simpler. However, high-performance teams that release new editions of applications regularly need automation, complex test environments, and a plan to evolve their test plan from sprint to sprint. This module covers all of these topics.
Lessons
· Automating Test Cases
· Promoting Test Cases
Lab : Improving Testing Practices
· Creating a Coded UI Test
· Setting Up Regression Testing
After completing this module, students will be able to:
· Explain the value of automated regression testing.
· Prepare testing efforts for the next sprint.

Before attending this course, students must have:
· 1 or more years of experience working as a tester on a software development team
· 1 or more years of experience reading or writing software requirements
· 1 or more years of experience using Microsoft Test Manager 2012 or 2013
