You’ll also delve into automating testing before release and whilst in production giving you a deeper understanding of how to use VSTS.

By the end of the course, you will understand how to begin crafting a release pipeline using Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). Within this process, you’ll also learn valuable and transferable skills such as continuous integration techniques, continuous testing practices, and configuration as code.

This course is best suited for developers working in an organisation delivering software.
