Organize Your Tests, Part II: Use Metadata!
In my last post I talked about some ways to organize your tests to help keep things clear and discoverable. My pal Adam Goucher, one of the top Selenium folks around, took me to task me via mail (in a friendly way!) that tags and metadata are a critical part of organizing your tests. I agree, but with a subtle difference. Tags and other forms of metadata are great for helping you categorize your tests, but I think they come in to play more when you’re trying to execute your tests versus organize your tests on the file system. ...November 23, 2011 3 min read -

Dynamic Data Support for OpenAccess ORM in Q3 2011 Release
In past releases, we included an example in our SDK that showed customers how to work with Dynamic Data projects when using OpenAccess ORM.

In this release we are excited to announce that we have greatly simplified this process by adding wizards, and a new provider, allowing OpenAccess ORM to work directly with .Net 4.0 Dynamic Data Web Applications, and Web Sites. Getting Started To use this new functionality, the first thing you need to do is build a Telerik OpenAccess ORM domain model. Once the domain... -

Organizing Your Tests
Naming and organization is critical in keeping software systems maintainable as you move forward, especially with larger systems or systems with longer lifespans. You’ll find yourself spending large amounts of time stumbling around unclear, tangled source code if you don’t take care with how you lay out your classes, namespaces, and projects. We should take the same exact care with our tests as the systems we’re delivering to our customers, because test code IS production code. Careful naming and layout of your tests is every bit as important as the system itself—and perhaps even a bit more since we ...November 22, 2011 6 min read -
