• The Visual Studio Diaries: Testing for Developers

  * * * * -

  Dear Diary, today I met our new software tester. I was like, “Who are you to criticize my work? I mean, what can YOU know about varsity coding?!” Offended, the tester ran off with some sparkly-skinned kid named Ed. Unfortunately, this left me responsible for testing our prom management application. Of course, I always run some basic tests, but my stupid users are always clicking on things out of order! I mean I could be writing more code! As you know, I’ve been friends with that kid from the reservation for like my whole life and he offered to cheer me up by teaching me how to use Visual Studio to link requirements to test cases to a variety of nifty automated tests! Now I really don’t need that morose, hussy tester! Seriously: testable architecture & patterns, automated UI testing, controlling data, web service testing

• Lesser-Known, but Really Useful Features of WCF 4.0

  - - - - -

  Too often, I’ve heard development teams create their own custom tools to test and monitor their applications. First, we’ll cover several Microsoft tools that can help you test and monitor your WCF applications. Additionally, WCF 4.0 adds new routing and discovery features. This session will cover these in the context of service versioning, but the focus will be on the configuration of these features.
