Lab Management Overview
Lab Management Basics
Environments Create and manage virtual or physical dev/test
environments
Snapshots Take snapshots or revert to existing snapshots
Works on any virtual machine
Deploy current or any build to environment
Environment Viewer Interact with machines through the environment viewer
Define test settings for environments

Benefits of Virtualization
TestingVirtual test environments can be used for
Testing CI builds using GUI automation
DebuggingDebug hard to reproduce defects
Maintaining snapshots of older builds
DemosDemos for customers
Test Production hot-fixes

(6) Execute
automated tests
(3) Copy build to running

(4) Run deployment scripts for
each machine
(5) Create environment snapshot

Licensing
Lab Management is per CPU license for the hosts you want to manage
For client you need either Ultimate/Test Professional
SCVMM license for dev/test is included.
Guest OS license is part of MSDN subscriptions

Setting Up Automated Build-Deploy-Test Workflows
Lab Management Resources
Best Practice Topology GuideTopology 1 - Multiple AT, Load Balancer and Test network with firewall settings, controlling the test traffic in and out of Corp network
Network load balancer
Firewall rules
Topology 2 - Multiple ATs and DTs without load balancers and Test network with SAN based library and host
SAN support
Topology 3 - TMG, Windows NLB and with Test apps having DB tier outside of virtual environment
Setting up rules in Threat Management Gateway
Deployment and testing on a shared machine outside the envt
Topology 4 - Multiple ATs and DTs, load balancers and environments joined to a different domain
DNS conditional forwarding
