    Live Data and Source Code in JustTrace

    Although it was only a month ago when JustTrace Q3 2011 was released, we've launched JustTrace Q3 2011 SP1 with two new major features: a completely redone “Live Data” view and the ability to view source code. In addition, a number of enhancements have been made, resulting in a smoother user experience. Visit the What’s New page for a list of all changes. Live Data View The Live Data view has been updated to provide visual information via charts representing CPU and memory usage. This enables you to visualize how the profiled application process is currently affecting performance and memory consumption. More importantly, you now see...

    31 Days of Testing—Day 11: Maintainable Functional Automation

    NOTE: I’m running a series called “31 Days of Testing” on my personal blog at FrazzledDad.com. The series covers a really broad range of testing topics, so I haven’t been cross-posting things here. This specific post; however, hits perfectly on things I’ve spoken about in Test Studio webinars and previous posts, so I’m posting it here, too. I’ll cross-post a few others; however, if you want to read the full series then please join me over at FrazzledDad!

    Asserting a mock with test framework

    When asserting an expected call for its number of occurrences or may be just to verify if the setup/arrange is acted as intended, the tool generally raises assertion that points us to the reason why the test failed.

However, if we just take a look into the test framework unless its some alien one, they all have a common underlying structure for Assert.Throws or ExpectedException (MSTest). MS Test (C# and Silverlight) Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.AssertFailedException NUnit NUnit.Framework.AssertionException XUnit Xunit.Sdk.AssertException MSpec Machine.Specifications.SpecificationException MbUnit Gallio.Framework.Assertions.AssertionException So the point here is that if we just use the existing exception class rather...

    Integrating with TeamPulse data (oData)

    Note: A Knowledge Base article exists with a link to the sample code used in this post. Note: A previous blog post was written with some basic information regarding TeamPulse integration. The 2011 R3 release of TeamPulse has brought several significant changes to the product, and chief among them from an integration standpoint are the inclusion of forms-based authentication and role-based permissions. These changes extend beyond the TeamPulse client interface right through the services below, which means that any requests to read or write data must be accompanied by a proper authentication cookie representing a user that has the required ...
