Productivity: Testing

Our engineering and testing crew has been hard at work to get the latest release of Test Studio out the door! Test Studio 2012 R2 SP1 is now ready for you to download and install! Our service packs generally focus on bug fixes and under-the-cover enhancements; however, this release has some really exciting new features. Two of my personal favorites are searching within a project or test, and Silverlight/WPF scrolling of elements via the UI. First off, search. Ease of navigation through a large test suite or test is a very tedious task. There’s also a discoverability issue if ...

Test oracles to check your database or file system would be one example. Backing APIs for setup and teardown actions would be another.

Visual Event is a little tool I found. When I say that I "found" it - I literal discovered it after Google-ing "detect javascript events" or something to that effect.
