70-497 Exam FAQ: What to Know Before You Book
The 70-497 exam, officially titled Software Testing with Visual Studio, is the qualifying exam for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 certification, which sits at the Professional level. Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a Microsoft career path. It also connects to MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management, 70-498: Delivering Continuous Value with Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.
