    Expanded Dynamic Targets Documentation

    As part of our updates to the Test Studio Load Test documentation, we've added more information about using Dynamic Targets in your test. Dynamic Targets allow Test Studio Load Tests to track the value of key-value pairs contained in responses from the server under test, and include them in the appropriate follow-up requests. Since many web applications require user-specific values (like session IDs) to be returned with requests, this feature allows load test scenarios to simulate valid user traffic. This is important, since applications that do not receive valid key-value pairs may return errors. These errors typically create a greater ...

    30 Days of TDD – Day 17 – Specifying Order of Execution in Mocks

    We’ll continue developing our e-commerce application today by looking closer at how we will utilize the Order Fulfillment service. This service is provided by a third party and the API requires an ordered set of calls to be executed. In this post I’ll show you how your mocks can enforce this rule and let you know when your test violate it.

There are cases where a mock like this acceptable, but in most cases you’ll find that you want to have a specific response for a specific parameter. Luckily that’s not very difficult and today we will create a stub with that exact ability.

    The Truth About Agile | Top 30 Agile Myths- BUSTED

    Agile is not suitable for fixed bid projects Before looking at this myth, it’s important to define “Fixed bid projects”. Does this mean fixed scope, schedule, and cost? History has proven that software projects of any significance in size or complexity cannot be accurately estimated well. What is more, according to CHAOS reports 24% of all projects fail and 44% are significantly challenged2. Regardless of the project management methodology, attempting to fix all three does not have a high probability of success. Something has to give – whether it’s adding resources, cutting scope, or moving the delivery date. As described ...

    30 Days of TDD – Day 15 - “Simple” Does Not Always Mean “Obvious” Pt. 2

    In the last post we wrote what should have been a simple test. But in this case we’ll see how sometimes simple tests can be a little more complicated that we anticipate.
