    30 Days of TDD: Day Three – Your First Test

    In this post I will introduce you to JustCode and the NUnit testing framework. I’ll also demonstrate the basic TDD workflow from introduction of the first requirement all the way through to writing your first test. At the end of this post you will have a test based on a given requirement. In the next post we will work through the rest of the workflow and make the test pass.

    Load Testing Web Services

    Did you know that you can use Test Studio to load test your web services? This is probably one of our most asked-about new features. We want to make this feature a really great experience, so we're planning lots of improvements. Depending on your service, you can start load testing them right now! There are a few limitations to be aware of. Improvements to the Dynamic Variables system are coming. Until those arrive, if you need to use Dynamic Variables embedded in JSON or XML content, you are going to have wait. If not, you are able to start load ...

    Why the Cloud is Disrupting Testing Practices

    My first realization that cloud computing was changing the dynamics of software development and testing was at a conference about five years ago where two guys got up and described how they bootstrapped their fledgling software development business by spending about $200 buying server time with Amazon’s cloud services.  Rather than spending tens of thousands of dollars on servers and system administrators, they in effect outsourced those costs to the cloud provider. Since that time, the economics and flexibility of cloud computing have revolutionized all aspects of software, enabling companies large and small to avoid large infrastructure costs while rapidly ...

Even if you are seasoned developer I recommend that you at least read the section on Polymorphism and Interfaces as these topics are widely misunderstood and are crucial to building good TDD practices.

    Lookin' for Tests in all the Wrong Places

    Greetings, fellow testers. Last week I was asked a question about testing output, specifically if I could help with an example of a test verifying that a list in an application has been properly sorted. This is actually a fairly common question, and is one that we cover in our documentation. I mention it here for two reasons. In part to point out the example code section of Test Studio's online documentation, but mostly because the documented example is correct but in my opinion it’s only half of the story – the second half. The first thing I’d recommend is ...
