During this session, our presenter will cover the breadth and depth of the unit, web, and load testing technologies that are bundled with Visual Studio Team System. First, we will take a look at Unit Testing, how you generate Unit test skeleton classes from existing source code, how you modify the unit test classes to meet your particular needs, how you execute tests, how you analyze the code coverage for your unit tests, and how you view test results. Next, we will dive into Web Testing, showing you how to create a completely automated regression test harness for your web applications. We will explore the test recorder, how to validate the test at any step, and how to use random database values for a given data entry screen. Finally, we will see how to combine a series of web tests and unit tests into a load test, and how to vary a load’s tests characteristics in terms of number of virtual users, the activities those users are simulating, their browser types, the network types, and more.
