Since the discovery of a new boson at the LHC in July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments measure its properties in the bosonic decay modes of the new boson. Measured properties are consistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson, however, it is also very important to verify whether this new boson decays into fermions as predicted by the Standard Model. In this seminar, we will report the latest results on a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to a b-quark pair in associated (W/Z)H production with the full Run1 dataset collected by the ATLAS detector. We will first review the experimental setup and discuss analysis details. Then, we will present the results of the analysis. Finally, we will discuss the prospects of this analysis for the upcoming high luminosity LHC.
