Current Challenges For Test Environments Microsoft Ignite 2016 5/23/2018 8:20 PM Current Challenges For Test Environments Extremely long time for preparing test environments Long running idle environments Managers promise users daily/weekly updates Lack of similarities between test and production env. 65% 10% too complicated and time-consuming to acquire resources average utilization of dedicated dev-test infrastructure *Source: Business Case for Test Environment Management Whitepaper, Cognizant © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

A Success Story Using VSTS and Azure

Contoso Inc. Banking IT dept. Team Project Architecture Responsible for home-banking web apps used across Europe (many countries) Required faster delivery, automated deployments and reliable testing environments Team Project Architecture Version-branched team project Single .sln, containing customization for all countries Continuous deployment was hardwired to a SQL Server database and multiple build definitions Still using VS2012/VS2013, TFS 2013 & Release Mgmt. Open to upgrading the system, but bureaucracy was slowing the upgrade process down to >1y OK with VSTS, but code couldn’t leave the (hybrid) network

DEMO: VSTS Alex Mang

Initial approach conclusions Advantages Automated environment provisioning One-click solution No longer dependent on user’s Visual Studio version Comprehensible dashboards and easier overall monitoring Drawbacks Huge VSTS costs because of very long build times Lots of scripting involved Testing environments were running even when idle

DEMO: Azure Dev/Test Labs Alex Mang

Noteworthy Changes required to build a deployable package Deploying to Azure requires adding Service Endpoints – sometime looks trivial Advanced VSTS commands ##vso[area.action property1=value;property2=value;...]message
