Debugging Coded Steps in Test Studio Express (Visual Studio)
Every test suite of any significance will require you to have some form of coded steps. As awesome as Test Studio is, there are always going to be things you’ll have to do via code. Test oracles to check your database or file system would be one example. Backing APIs for setup and teardown actions would be another. Sometimes it’s just handy to have a breakpoint where you can pull up Visual Studio’s Immediate window and do live queries of the web page’s Document Object Model (web apps) or Visual Tree/XAML Tree (Silverlight or WPF applications).

JustCode JavaScript Templates for WinJS

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.

Fixing Visual Studio 2012 Intellisense for WinJS Files
I have been frustrated by Intellisense acting up when working on WinJS Windows Store applications. Figure 1 is just an example of the quirky behavior that I’ve been experiencing: Image 1 Fortunately, the fix is extremely easy, and I picked it up from Adam Freeman’s book on Apress “Metro Revealed: Building Windows 8 apps with HTML5 and Javascript” Add references in your JavaScript files to ui.js and base.js.
