את מפגש חודש נובמבר אסור לפספס!!! בחלקו הראשון של המפגש נתמקד בכלי הבדיקות שמגיע עם VS 2010 , Microsoft Test & Lab Managerהמאפשר לבודקים לאסוף נתוני אבחון מפורטים יותר במהלך הבדיקות. נלמד כיצד ניתן לאתר ולאתר תקלות באופן המאפשר תקשורת משופרת בין המפתחים למתכנתים בפרויקט, נציג כיצד בודקים יכולים ליצור בדיקות אוטומטיות בצורה קלה ופשוטה. בחלקו השני של המפגש נראה את הפתרון לניהול סביבת בדיקות בעזרת וירטואליזציה הישר מתוך Microsoft Test & Lab Manager, בנוסף, נסקור את : Test Impact Analysis, Historical...
According to Ed Glass from Microsoft Visual Studio Team Test Team posted about new VSTT Quick Reference Guide 1.0 . According to Ed: “This is a comprehensive collection of technical information on VSTT –- 83 pages of information!!! Many questions you may have on how stuff works in web, load, and unit test are answered in this doc. This doc is a must have for anyone working in VSTT. ” You can download it here . var dzone_url = 'http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/kolbis/archive/2009/03/31/what...
Have you ever thought of selling your test cases? I am pretty sure that most of you have not. This is not surprising because usually the Test Cases are written for internal usage and thus are not in such a quality that will allow you to "sell" them or even to "reuse" them internally, right? Have you ever thought why nobody sells them? I believe that there are several reasons, here are two of them: Never thought about Test Cases as an assets. The code is purely designed and implemented...
James Whittaker say that testing is Hard and I quote: “Software testing is complicated by an overload of variation possibilities from inputs and code paths to state, stored data and the operational environment. Indeed, whether one chooses to address this variation in advance of any testing by writing test plans or by an exploratory approach that allows planning and testing to be interleaved, it is an impossible task. No matter how you ultimately do testing, it’s simply too complex to do it completely...
Intro Last week I had the chance to meet Shay Mandel from Microsoft India. Shay is a program manager on the lab management team. Lab management was declared during the the PDC. In this posts I will try and give a small review of this product, so if you heard about it, you might learn more and if you did not this can be a good reference for you to understand what it is all about. What is a Lab? A lab consists of at least one machine and potentially can reach up to 2,3,4 or even 100. Each machine configuration...
Visual Studio 2008 introduces a new option called "Extract Web Test" within the Web Test context menu. This is a cool feature that allows you to extract requests or transactions from a web test and create a new web test. I love this feature mainly because it can save us a lot of time and allow you to modular your tests...Let me explain. One of the key features we need to strive for is to modular our automated tests. We want to be able to reuse modules or web tests within different tests...
Previously I have posted about Test Driven Development & Visual Studio 2010 . Lisa Feigenbaum from the VB Team published a new post that describes the TDD support with the "Generate From Usage" Feature in VS 2010. You can read about it here .
Up to now, Visual Studio did a great job helping us develop applications and tests based on existing classes and methods, but when you don't have your API ready, the IDE will fight you. TDD is out there for some time now and is popular, however the IDE gives all those developers who use TDD hard time. Visual Studio 2010 IDE has some improvements to allow test first style. Class Stub I love using the method stub, where if I don't have a method the IDE allows me to auto generate it with the...
I have created a Data-Driven Unit Test using Visual Studio Team System 2008 and bounded it to an SQL data source. When I executed the unit test for each row in the data source I got this strange result: In the data source I got only three records. So, on one hand, as we can see in the lower square, it displays a message that all four tests passed (4??? wasn't 3?). On the upper square it displays a message the all three tests passed (this is correct).
In Visual Studio Team Tester you can create a load test. The load test contains al least one scenario. In each scenario you define the think time, the number of users, the patterns and etc. It is possible to create multiple scenarios per load test. Doing so it simple, all you need to do is right click on the scenario folder and select "Add Scenario", then follow the wizard and you have got yourself a load test with two scenarios. So, the question is why would you do that? why do you need...
For those of you who tried the 2005 WebTest recorder know that there were several issues about it that made working with it hard, for example Dynamic Parameters Discovery and AJAX based Recording. If you wanted to record AJAX based application you had to use a supporting tool such as Fiddler , which is a debugging proxy that integrates with VS WebTest. There were several issues with it such as HTTPS support and Extraction Rules support that made it a bit difficult to use. In VS 2008, Microsoft fixed...
Microsoft has just released the Tester Center on MSDN. Up to now, MSDN was intended for developers and development issues, however testing is a major aspect in the development cycle, yet no real repository was available. With the release of the Tester Center, all rated XXX testing questions can now be answered. Jeff Beehler did a great post that summaries the features that will be focused there. You can check it yourself here .
Last week Microsoft and NESS organized a three days extreme learning. I was one of the lecturers and I talked about Unit testing, TDD, Load testing, Performance testing, Web testing in VSTS for Developers and Testers. For all of you who missed it or just want to take a look at it, you can download it from here . If you have any feedback about the lectures, let me know :-)
Last month I started the first of its kind, Visual Studio Team System for Testers course. I attached the entire syllabus to this post. We are planning on opening a new course next month, so keep tune for more details in the future. You can contact me for any other details at: guyk@srl.co.il .
By default all requests inside a web test will be executed no matter of the results. In other words, if you got 2 requests inside your web test and the first request fails, the web test will continue to the second request and will execute it. Sometimes, we do not want to continue running the following requests upon a failure. To do so, we can choose to code our web test or to create a WebTestRequestPlugIn. Coded web tests are to be avoided as possible and there are only three cases where I would...
