This year's ALM Summit features keynotes and plenary sessions by Microsoft executive and industry experts, as well as three focused breakout tracks: ALM Leadership, Agile Development, and new this year DevOps and Testing. Also returning is an update to last year's popular full-time Hands-On-Lab featuring self-guided tutorials on TFS and Test Lab Management.
