Testing C# and ASP.NET Applications with Ruby

Published January 3rd, 2011 Under Functional Testing | Leave a Comment

The Ruby community has always understood the importance of testing. They strive to make applications more
testable while improving the approaches and tools they use. They have created some amazing frameworks and a series of best practices to support testing. C# and ASP.net developers can take full advantage for their own applications. This session provides an insight into the Ruby world and how you can take advantage to create readable, maintainable and valuable tests for ASP.net based web applications. This video demonstrates how to integrate Ruby frameworks such as RSpec and Cucumber into your application development cycle, and how different frameworks combined with Ruby can solve a number of problems traditionally faced when using C#.

Making Manual Testing a Part of Your Development Process

Published November 24th, 2010 Under Unit Testing | Leave a Comment

Software has always needed to be tested manually, automation can help, but it is never going to replace the need for manual testing totally. How a team manages this requirement for manual testing can be key to a projects success or failure. In the 2010 release of Visual Studio, Microsoft have provided a whole new set of tools to aid in this process – Microsoft Test Manager. In this session I will show how MTM can be used to assist a tester in creating detailed, accurate and repeatable testing that are a joy to use (well might be stretching a point there!). Also I will show how the tooling can allow these manual tests can become the basis for automated tests and Coded UI tests, and how the advanced logging features of the tools allow bugs to be accurately passed back to developers for speed the production of fixes.

Hardcore .NET Production Debugging

Published November 18th, 2010 Under Unit Testing | Leave a Comment

But … it used to work yesterday! This presentation introduces the hardcore and low–level tools used for production debugging of .NET applications. You’ll learn how to attack the nastiest bugs in your applications, how to look at what’s causing that grinding halt of your ASP.NET application and how to find the cause of that horrible memory leak in your Windows Forms application. Knowledge of these production debugging tools like WinDbg and SOS is not only important for cases when you really don’t have access to Visual Studio and your source code, but these tools also reveal a lot more information than just the regular managed code debuggers.
