Cloud Based Load Tests

Azure Dev/Test Lab

• Quickly provision development and test environments

• Minimize waste with quotas and policies

• Set automated shutdowns to minimize costs

• Create a VM in a few clicks with reusable templates

• Get going quickly using VMs from pre-created pools

• Build Windows and Linux environments

• Dev/Test Lab makes it easier to control costs.• Provision environments within allocated quotas and size policies.• Apply automatic shutdown rules for idle VMs and environments.• Track projected spending against budgets and analyze Lab usage in

detail.

Worry Free

Self-Service

Dev/Test Lab environments come pre-provisioned with everything your team needs to start developing and testing applications.

Capture and share environment templates and artifacts within your team or organization—all in source control—to create dev and test environments easily.

Leverage premade plug-ins or our API to provision dev/test environments directly from your preferred continuous integration (CI) tool, integrated development environment (IDE) or automated release pipeline.
