Get feedback
When you have working software, use the feedback tool to get rich feedback from your stakeholders.
Request feedback
You can ask stakeholders to provide videos, screenshots, and other kinds of content.
From the home page, start a feedback request. If you don't have a request feedback link, ask your account owner to start a trial or go here to gain permanent access.
Add the feedback reviewers.
Provide information about the application to review.
Define the feedback item.
You can add more feedback items to the request if necessary.
Send the request for feedback.
Provide feedback
Here's how your stakeholder will provide you with feedback.
Email with the contents of the feedback request arrives. If he doesn't already have the Microsoft Feedback Client installed, the stakeholder can use the link to install it.
The stakeholder downloads and installs the feedback client.
Or, go directly to the Visual Studio downloads site.
Back in the feedback content email, he can start the feedback session.
He starts your application from the feedback tool.
Then he starts the feedback session.
Your stakeholder can add screenshots, comments, and file attachments, and even record the feedback session.
In this case, the stakeholder captures a screenshot of the column headers for a screen in the app.
He adds a comment for the screenshot he captured about adding sorting filters to the columns.
He submits the feedback when he's done.
Receive feedback
The feedback has been provided by your stakeholder and returned to you.
From the team explorer, you can view the feedback which is rolled up into a single work item.
You can now add backlog items or bugs based on the feedback to improve your software.
