Overview

• The Microsoft device ecosystem is evolving rapidly. As we’ve evolved our Windows Update capability for a SaaS delivery model, we’ve learned how important it is for the update experience to harmonize with our mission to empower users to be more productive. User experience and productivity is impacted when updates go wrong, when updates aren’t coordinated, or when updates aren’t installed in a timely manner.
• Our team’s charter is to build an Azure service called Test Base for Microsoft 365 aimed at our commercial customers and partners that can drive efficiency into their app validation process, with intelligence and tools to manage it. We have a startup team culture and believe in being experimental, learning constantly, being scrappy while bringing order to disorder.
• We believe great ideas come from a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and cognitive styles. We actively create an environment where everyone’s ideas can be heard and can contribute towards great outcomes. We live and breathe Microsoft’s mission to empower every single person and organization on the planet to achieve more.
