Microsoft Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 Beta 1

Brief Description

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010 Lab Management Beta 1 lets you create and manage virtual environments, and also run tests and workflows in those environments.

Overview

Visual Studio Lab Management lets you create and manage virtual environments on a pool of Hyper-V hosts and System Center Virtual Machine Manager library servers. You can group virtual machines into environments and perform life-cycle and snapshot operations on those machines. Used together, Lab Management, Team Foundation Server, Team Test Load Agent, and Team Test Load Controller provide an integrated software testing experience that lets testers attach comprehensive snapshots of the environment to their bugs. Lab Management also lets you automate the authoring and running of end-to-end application life-cycle management workflows.
This release will expire on April 15, 2010. This software is not supported by Microsoft Customer Services and Support (CSS).
