"Instead of telling people to wait for six months for a new feature, we can give it to them in a few weeks. Our lead cycles are getting much shorter, and we have business stakeholders involved so that our solutions are more aligned with business requirements."

獲得更多的時間來創建更好的應用程序
使你的開發人員發揮他們最擅長的方面 - 構建完美的應用程序。使用開發測試解決方案，可以大大地減少管理開發工作的時間和困難，使你的團隊可以將注意力集中在應用程序開發上。
"With Visual Studio Team Services and .NET, I save at least 30 percent of the time it would otherwise take to manage software development. That’s hours every week that I can spend on building better solutions."
工程和技術執行副總裁 Andy Abbott -
為所使用的所有平臺構建
異類環境是一種規范，而不是異常。將跨平臺功能引入到開發測試環境中，立即使用首選代碼語言在所使用的設備和平臺（從 Linux 到 Windows 再到 iOS 和 Android）上本地構建和測試應用程序。
"We jokingly say that if there’s a product out there, it’s used somewhere within Shell, although we try to standardize on platforms like Windows and Linux, as well as iOS and Android for mobile development … Most of those platforms require us to support a whole raft of technologies, so the cross-platform functionality in Visual Studio Team Services makes it a very logical choice for us."
首席軟件工程架構師 Henk J. Middendorp -
在幾秒鐘內創建開發測試環境，而不是幾周
簡化并加快運行開發測試環境的進程。在幾秒鐘內預配虛擬機，而不是幾天或幾周。與其他云提供商不同，你只需按分鐘付費。調整盡可能多的所需虛擬機，為其建立網絡并分配給開發人員。無論由開發人員支持你的預配，還是維護集中式控件，都可敏捷地管理你的環境。
"As we grew, we couldn’t physically get the number of servers we needed anymore. For example, in London, they were having a hard time accessing servers in the western United States. I evaluated all the options—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—and you just can’t beat Microsoft Azure."

可縮放的高保真測試環境
在測試環境中復制實際使用方案并按生產規模進行測試，以在發布前捕獲并修復問題。如果你的生產環境也正在 Azure 上運行，則可以創建一個精確克隆，并獲取你的應用程序在實際中行為方式的精確視圖。
"We use Azure to generate the loads we need to test our applications to their limits. By finding the breaking points before we reach them in production, we can make the necessary architecture changes to handle our growth. We’re also able to test loads from international locations to ensure that our customers do not experience latency issues. With Azure we have access to all of the resources we need to do the performance tests we want at a really low cost."

最大限度減少浪費，最大限度提高控制力度
獲取對計算資源的使用情況的可見性并對其進行嚴格控制。訪問實時利用率數據，避免浪費并向內部客戶實施退款。高級自動化可幫助減少錯誤，統一管理可平衡訪問與控制，并且面向企業的調控功能使你能夠設置限制和控制成本。
"This policy more than pays for itself in developer productivity versus waiting for a hardware team to set up development and test environments. Plus, we have added visibility into real project costs."
CEO，Jeffrey Palermo -
通過低開發測試費率充分利用預算
在 Azure 上通過低開發測試費率盡情進行試驗。在步入生產之前知曉你的需求、需要的時間并探索方案。Azure 上的優惠費率可用于單獨或作為團隊運行開發和測試工作負載的 Visual Studio 訂閱者。
