In this post, I will show how easy it is to mock a LINQ query using JustMock for a given context.

    Deprecating VS2008 Support in Test Studio 2013 Releases

    With each release of Test Studio, we carefully test our integration points with all external systems to make sure we work seamlessly with the latest and greatest versions of these systems. Test Studio has many dependencies that we rely on to offer our customers a great user experience. These dependencies include all the browsers we automate (IE, FF, Chrome & Safari), Visual Studio that we plug-in and recently Quality Center and TeamPulse which we integrate with. With each of these components, we not only try to support the latest and greatest versions but also be backward compatibility with as many ...
