    The interwebs are ALIVE this morning with the fresh news out of Redmond.  A move that on the surface seems like a giant leap forward.  In reality though, it means very little. Microsoft announced today that they will be updating everyone to at least IE 8 or 9. ...

    Get More Data for Your Windows Phone App Performance with This Free Tool

    I just found out a very useful, free monitoring tool for Windows Phone apps called Distimo Monitor. It gives you valuable insights as to what affects downloads and revenues of your app. It provides of course Downloads and Revenue reports by country, day etc. like you would expect.  The two more interesting features are the Rankings and the Events reports. You can see the rankings of your app/apps for each day and country and how it evolved over time. You can even add comments to the rankings graph, just like in Google Analytics, so that you can track how a certain...

    Putting it All Together – Evolving Conference Junkie for Q3 2011

    First I would like to apologize for the extreme delay in publishing this blog!  I was trying to see if it would be possible to salvage the video recording.  Unfortunately, due to the way I recorded it, audio was not captured properly. With the bad news out of the way, I would like to say, most of the OpenAccess content is covered in a session I did at DevConnections this year, and is available on TTV here.  As for the other topics we covered, feel free to send me an email, and I will do my best to point you...

    Silverlight: Silverlight 5 is out. What does this mean to me?

    Microsoft's long awaited release of Silverlight 5 happened on Friday. Silverlight 5.0 ships with a ton of new features, including new media and graphic improvements as well as extending the trust model to the browser (a big deal for some Line of Business applications). This release happened without any fanfare but that hardly diminishes its value. Some of the great things in the release are listed here. While Microsoft did not announce that there was going to be a Silverlight 6, they did announce they would extend support for Silverlight 5 for ten years until 10 Dec 2021, as long...

    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! I wanted to write a blog post on “Introduction to Functional Automation Testing” but I realized I firmly believe there are ...
