Question 2
Your company uses Lab Center during manual- and automated-testing processes for different types of testing environments.
Development operations is standardizing their processes. They want to document their best practices for environment setup.
You need to verify your setup of a standard environment, which consists of physical servers that match your production environment. However, you are unable to connect to your new lab environment.
Which action in Lab Center should you perform in order to troubleshoot the problem?
- A. Repair
- B. Manage
- C. Connect
- D. open
Answer : A
Explanation: Q: The status of my lab environment is Not Ready. What should I do?
A: On the context menu of the environment, choose Repair. The repair will take a few minutes.
This status means that the test agent is not installed and correctly configured on one of the machines in the environment. The repair operation logs into the machines and installs and configures the agent.
Incorrect:
Not C: It is stated that the problem is that we are unable to connect. Choosing to connect again would not help.
Reference: Standard lab environments
Question 3
You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM).

Question 4
You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) to manually test for an ASP.NET website.
You have previously created a test plan named QA Release 1.0 that contains 115 test cases, and you are now planning the testing for Release 2.0.
The QA Release 2.0 test plan must meet the following requirements:
-> All the test cases in QA Release 1.0 should be available in QA Release 2.0.
-> Testers should be able to change, add, or remove test cases from either the QA
Release 1.0 test plan or the QA Release 2.0 test plan as required, without affecting the other test plan.
-> Shared steps and test configuration from the QA Release 1.0 test plan need to be reflected in QA Release 2.0 test plan.
You need to facilitate simultaneous testing of the website by creating the QA Release 2.0 test plan according to the stated requirements.
What should you do?
- A. Copy the root test suite from the QA Release 1.0 test plan into the QA Release 2.0 test plan.
- B. Clone the root test suite from the QA Release 1.0 test plan into the QA Release 2.0 test plan.
- C. Copy all the test cases from the QA Release 1.0 test plan into the QA Release 2.0 test plan by using the Create copy option in Test Case Manager.
- D. Export all the test cases from the QA Release 1.0 test plan into Excel, then import them into the QA Release 2.0 test plan.
Answer : B
Explanation: Cloning test suites by using tcm.exe (copy by value or deep copy) creates new test cases in the destination test plan. These new test cases are copies of the test cases in your source test plan. After the copy, you can edit the test cases in either plan without affecting the other. Cloning test suites is useful when you want to work on two differing releases simultaneously. The source and target suites must be in the same team project collection.

Question 7
You are using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM).
You plan to redesign a group of test cases that have similar steps but test for different conditions.
You need to make the test cases easy to maintain.
What should you do?
- A. Create a shared steps work item from the Shared Steps Manager view for every test case in the group and replace the test steps in the appropriate test case.
- B. Convert the manual test cases to automated tests.
- C. Open a test case, create a shared steps work item from the recurring test steps, and reuse this shared steps work item for the other test cases in the group.
- D. Find recurring test steps in the test cases and use them to create new test cases. Replace the recurring test steps with a reference to the new test cases.
Answer : C
Explanation: * When you plan manual tests there are some sequences of steps, such as logging in, that occur in many test cases. To avoid having to enter these sequences again and again, create shared steps.
* Create shared steps
While youre editing a test case, select a sequence of steps that you want to share.
The steps you selected are replaced with a link to the new shared steps work item.
* Use shared steps
Now you can use the shared steps in another test case.

Question 12
You plan to conduct a test for a multi-tier ASP.NET website by using Microsoft Test
Manager (MTM). You have created a test plan named Release 1.0.
Under the Release 1.0 test plan, the test run should:
-> Collect information about all machines on which the test is run, and
-> Collect each UI action performed within the Client role.
You need to configure the Release 1.0 test plan to meet these requirements.
What should you do?
- A. Create new test settings for Manual Tests by using the client and server roles. Select the System information and Action log diagnostic data adapters.
- B. Create new test settings for Automated Tests on the local machine. Select the IntelliTrace and Action Log diagnostic data adapters.
- C. Create new test settings for Automated Tests by using the client and server roles. Select the ASP.NET profiler and Code coverage diagnostic data adapters.
- D. Create new test settings for Manual Tests on the local computer. Select the System information and Code coverage diagnostic data adapters.
Answer : A
Explanation:
* System information : A test setting can be set up to include the system information about the machine that the test is run on. The system information is specified in the test results by using a test setting.
* Action log diagnostic
* (incorrect): Code coverage: To determine what proportion of your project's code is actually being tested by coded tests such as unit tests, you can use the code coverage feature of Visual Studio. To guard effectively against bugs, your tests should exercise or
'cover' a large proportion of your code.
Code coverage analysis can be applied to both managed (CLI) and unmanaged (native) code.

You need to provide easy access to the requirements document from the test cases.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)
- A. From the Test Suite window, add the requirement document by using Add Requirements.
- B. From the Links tab, link the requirements document to the PBI.
- C. From the Test Plan Manager, add a link to the PBI.
- D. For each test case, use the Tested Backlog Items tab to add a link to the PBI.
Answer : BD
Explanation:
Typically, you create a test plan for each iteration and area of your team project. Near the start of the iteration, you add the product backlog items, user stories or requirements of that iteration to the test plan.
-> In Microsoft Test Manager, choose Testing Center, Plan, Contents.
-> Choose Add Requirements.
-> In Add existing requirements, edit the query to find the requirements you want.
For example, you might add a clause to select the current Iteration Path. Or, you might choose requirements that are not already linked to test cases.
-> Choose Run to run the query and display requirements.
-> Select the requirements you want to add.
A:
D: The Tested Backlog Items tab lists all the PBIs and bugs in a test case. By linking PBIs and bugs to test cases, the team can track the progress made in testing each item.
