STARWEST 2010 - 7 Steps To Improving Software Quality using Microsoft Test Ma...Anna Russo
Using Visual Studio 2010, teams can improve software quality through 7 steps: 1) work management with hierarchical tasks and improved reporting; 2) defining "done" with dashboards; 3) automated builds with traceability from development to testing; 4) manual and automated testing tools; 5) developer quality tools to find and fix bugs early; 6) test lab management with virtual environments; and 7) continuous improvement through an integrated and productive environment.
The document discusses how Visual Studio 2010 improves software quality through features that enable better work management, reporting, testing tools, developer quality tools, automated builds, lab management, and collaboration between development and testing teams. Key improvements include hierarchical work tracking, richer bug reporting, automated coded UI testing, IntelliTrace for debugging, and lab management for maintaining virtual test environments. The goal is to align development and testing, break down silos, and improve transparency and integration across the lifecycle.
This is a draft of a presentation for a course on Visual Studio 2010 Unit Testing, I've uploaded mainly because I tried to create a Metro Style presentation, so if everyone like it, he can use as base for own presentation.
The document discusses integrating agile methodology and Visual Studios for a project. It includes slides on project management, planning, requirements gathering, design, development, testing and deployment. Comments are provided throughout discussing challenges with different methodologies, testing approaches and roles.
The document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and how it helps software development through continuous feedback loops. TDD involves writing automated tests before code is written to drive the development process. This results in code that is modular, well-structured, and easy to modify through refactoring. The process of writing tests first helps clarify requirements and encourages loose coupling between components to facilitate testing. Multiple levels of testing, from unit to acceptance, provide feedback at different stages of development.
The document outlines chapters from a book on developer testing. It discusses working in cross-functional teams and the roles of developers and testers. Developers are responsible for unit testing and some integration testing, while other types of testing like security and performance are usually not done by developers. The document also discusses testing terminology, styles, objectives, and what makes software testable from a developer's perspective. Testability brings benefits like being able to easily verify functionality and make changes without surprises.
Test driven development (TDD), a software development method, helps build high quality applications faster. Life-cycle, usefulness, limitations and similar techniques of TDD have been presented in this slide deck.
An introduction to the concepts behind Continuous Delivery as well as an introduction to some of the tools available for implementing continuous delivery practices on a new project. This presentation is geared towards Java developers, but is applicable to all.

Continuous delivery its not about the technology, its about the people.Tomas Riha
Continuous delivery requires changes to roles and behaviors across an organization. As teams scale up from a few people to dozens, they often lose key practices like test-driven development that are essential for continuous delivery. Keeping everything in source control, automating tests and deployments, and ensuring everybody shares responsibility for releases helps large teams maintain continuous delivery. Adapting roles, providing visibility into work, and coaching people through changes can help organizations successfully scale continuous delivery practices.
The document discusses automation testing and provides guidelines for different types of testing including unit testing, API testing, end to end testing, load testing, and security testing. It outlines the automation testing process, including writing test cases, developing automated tests, integrating tests into the development pipeline, and continuously monitoring tests. Developers focus on happy path scenarios while testers cover all scenarios.
This document provides advice on how to get the most out of FitNesse acceptance testing.

Implementing Test Automation in Agile ProjectsMichael Palotas
This document discusses test automation practices at eBay. It begins by providing facts about eBay as a company and platform. It then outlines eBay's approach to test automation, which involves designing automated tests using test aspects, modeling the business domain layer, and implementing tests using Selenium. The document advocates for a lean approach to test automation to avoid technical debt and waste. It emphasizes automating regression tests first before expanding to other test types and executing tests in parallel using a Selenium Grid for faster feedback.
This presentation is simply for motivating developers towards test automation and test-driven development. It discusses lightly unit testing, mocking and integration testing, too.
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a short development cycle of requirements, design, and coding. It promotes writing tests before writing code (test-first design) and helps improve code quality by reducing defects. The TDD cycle involves writing an automated test, running the test and seeing it fail, writing the minimum amount of code to pass the test, and refactoring the code as needed. TDD brings benefits like clarifying requirements, adding executable documentation, and detecting errors early. Acceptance TDD involves automating acceptance tests to define and validate requirements. It helps establish a definition of done and improves team collaboration.
Test automation is a key part of eBay's quality engineering strategy. Some lessons learned from eBay's experience with test automation include: flipping the testing triangle to focus more on end-to-end automation than manual or unit tests; treating automation as software development with processes like code reviews; and maintaining automation code for readability and ease of updating. While automation is important, manual testing remains valuable for exploring areas outside of automated test cases. The goal is to combine the benefits of both manual and automated testing for a comprehensive approach to quality.
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process where unit tests are written before code to define desired functionality. The TDD cycle involves writing a failing test, then code to pass the test, and refactoring code. TDD encourages simple code design and finding defects early. Benefits include more modular, flexible code and increased productivity, while shortcomings include reliance on unit tests and potential for false sense of security. Designing for testability and managing tests is important for large systems.
The document discusses reasons for automated software testing, including saving time and money compared to manual testing by allowing tests to be repeated quickly and consistently. It also discusses improved accuracy, increased test coverage, and the ability to simulate large numbers of users that automated testing provides compared to manual testing. The document then provides tips for choosing an automated testing tool, such as supporting different programming languages, operating systems, test types and formats for creating and running tests.

Additionally, be able to support a 1-hour lead time from Code Change to Production”.
On November 17th at 1pm/10am PT Anita will present the challenges she and her team faced transforming 6 Months Waterfall to 1 Hour Code Deploys.
In this webinar Anita will discuss:
How to enable a complete cultural shift across multiple teams, in terms of thought process AND execution
What the specific role of her DevOps team is and how it played into the transformation
The role of Feature teams and why continuous feedback is critical for them
How to successfully influence key stakeholders for complete alignment
Today Anita’s team runs 170 production changes every day, running across several AWS Data Centers as well as On-Premise – something that would have been thought impossible only a few years prior.
Unit testing involves developers writing short tests of individual units or modules of code as they develop software. These tests automatically validate that each piece of the software performs as intended. Benefits of unit testing include finding bugs earlier, simplifying integration, facilitating change, and encouraging good design. Developers should write tests early and often, refactor code frequently to keep it simple, and fix bugs as soon as they are discovered. Checklists can help ensure unit tests cover important functionality.
Designing Self-maintaining UI Tests for Web ApplicationsTechWell
This document discusses the challenges of test automation and proposes some solutions. It notes that products are constantly changing, developers do not always communicate changes, and testers spend significant time fixing broken tests rather than writing new ones. It proposes moving testing earlier in the process, embedding testers with developers, and using automation to prevent broken builds. Moving to more automated and maintainable tests over time can reduce maintenance costs and give testers a better understanding of how software is developed. Key steps include treating test automation as software development, improving presentation layer consistency, and better communication between testers and developers.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

38. The Problem Development and test have built a wall: Development work happens on one side of the wall. Testing happens on the other. Builds and test results are passed back and forth, but not in a collaborative fashion.
39. Development Perspective Works on my machine! What build is being tested? How do I repro this? Insufficient bug details Unknown machine configuration Unknown runtime details No screenshot I already fixed this bug! This bug has been here for 2 months Why does testing take so long? The testers are clueless twits that don’t even know what good software is!
40. Test Perspective This is still broken? They said they fixed it! Dev teams go over schedule, testing time is reduced We can’t improve test coverage You want me to come to your desk to show you how to repro this bug? What is supposedly fixed in this new build? Is the new build deployed to our QA environment? The developers are clueless twits that don’t even know what good software is!
41. Rich Bugs NEW! Repro Steps Screenshot Video Capture System Info Debug Log Test Environment Event Log Action Recording
44. Automated Coded UI Test NEW! Recorded Actions from Manual Tester Use Visual Studio Recorder Automated Coded UI Test + = Validation Code
45. Coded UI Testing Enables verification of UI functionality. Record test actions and VS will generate the resulting code. Assertions can be added to verify functionality. Like all VS tests, results can be stored in TFS.
46. Best Practices (From MSDN) Create each test case as a sequence of Recorded Methods. Use meaningful method names. Try to limit the length of each recorded method to less than 10 actions. Do not modify the RecordedMethods.cs file. Do not edit the UIMap.Designer.cs file.

The 2010 release for Microsoft is a very big release with a lot of rich capabilities. Quality is a key pillars for the release planning efforts and we aspired to achieve the above goals with the test offerings in the 2010 release by taking a fresh look at the problems.We want to align QA with the lifecycle to ensure that testers can add more value to the application lifecycle and are not looked at “necessary evil”. Having test assets co-located with the dev assets & project assets ensures visibility across the entire team.Create tighter integration across development & test teams to ensure that we can eliminate waste across the hand shake (or lack there of) that happens across devs & tests when it comes to bugs, builds, recreation of bugs etc. Enable highly leveraged QA teams ensures that teams are most efficient and are driving up productivity by focusing on key tasks and eliminating a lot of the waste that spans from boring repetitive tasks.
Having the right infrastructure and approach to testing is helps ensure high quality deliverables at the end of the development cycle. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate arms you with tools to ensure that testing is done right the first time and streamlines the testing process to ensure that you can deliver on time and on budget.Test and Lab ManagerVisual Studio 2010 Ultimate delivers a brand new product for manual testing and test case management. The new Test and Lab Manager interface is a thoroughly modern interface that allows testers and anyone else involved in testing to manage test plans, test cases and individual tests. In addition, Test and lab manager acts as the one stop shop for manual testing. When executing manual tests, the Test and Lab Manager interface morphs into the Microsoft Test Runner, a modern integrated manual test interface that allows manual tests to be executed and the results to be filed in a simple and productive way. Additionally, Microsoft Test Runner can take a snapshot of the system data, record a video of the test, take a picture of the bug and record the IntelliTrace log to ensure you can always repro a bug, and there are no more "not reproducible" discussions. Virtual Test EnvironmentsOne of the most costly aspects of testing is the maintenance of the test infrastructure. A traditional test infrastructure consisted of rooms full of physical test machines that required dedicated professionals to provision and maintain. With Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate this test infrastructure has gone virtual. By using the new virtualized test lab management capabilities it is possible to reduce the overhead inherent with maintaining a physical test infrastructure and instead take advantage of the power of virtualized environments. It is also possible to share these environments not only within your testing team but also with other members of the team who need access to specific environments for development tests or dry runs prior to full scale testing begins.Web and Load TestingVisual Studio 2010 Ultimate also gives you access to advanced web and load testing features that help you ensure that whatever application you are building it is ready for the most demanding uses. The Web and Load testing capabilities of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate help you ensure that whatever application you are building it is ready for whatever scenarios your organization can envisage taking you one step closer to knowing your application is ready for prime time.
OverviewWhen you’re building software as a team, there’s a natural cycle that you follow – testers find bugs, developers fix bugs, testers verify fixes. In order for this cycle to be productive, testers need builds that include fixes to the bugs that the developers have fixed. If the build is broken, there is a risk of holding up the entire team until it is fixed.Gated check-in provides a way to prevent build breaks by validating a developer’s changes prior to committing them to the version control repository. Those changes are validated via an automated build. If the build fails, the user’s pending changes are rejected and passed back to them as a shelveset, otherwise the changes are committed to the repository.Shelve-and-build, a related feature, lets the developer validate their changes with a private automated build. Unlike gated check-in, shelve-and-build is something the developer can choose to do. It can help identify breaks in code that the developer may not generally build on their local machine.Value Proposition If a single developer on your team typically breaks the build just once a year and you have 52 developers working on your project, the build could be broken every week. If you have 260 developers, the build could be broken every day. When the build breaks, the entire team may be stalled resulting in substantial productivity losses. Those losses could be prevented by the gated check-in feature.
Having the right infrastructure and approach to testing is helps ensure high quality deliverables at the end of the development cycle. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate arms you with tools to ensure that testing is done right the first time and streamlines the testing process to ensure that you can deliver on time and on budget.Test and Lab ManagerVisual Studio 2010 Ultimate delivers a brand new product for manual testing and test case management.

The more time you spend debugging and fixing code the less time you have to spend creating innovative solutions and bringing value to the outcome. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate includes features that help you reduce the number of bugs that get into an application thereby freeing you up to spend more of your time being creative around the solutions you deliver. Dependency DiagramsMaking changes to code can be fraught with danger and often leads to many types of new bugs being introduced into a solution that can be difficult to debug and fix. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate allows you to create dependency diagrams that allow you to visually understand the dependencies between various areas of a solution helping you find where to make changes and what potential ripple effect those changes may have.Gated Check-InOne of the most costly problems that development teams face is when a build gets broken. This can potentially stop all development work for an entire team while the cause of the broken build is investigated and fixes are put in place. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate includes an innovative new feature called Gated Check-In that looks to stop build breaks before they happen. By utilizing the shelving infrastructure first introduced into TFS in 2005, Gated Check-Ins allow developer to check code into source control but hold that check-in from the build tree until it has passed all the required validation and test required to ensure that there are not potential issues that may break the build. This is all done in the background and allows you to continue working while the checks and validations are performed.Code Analysis and Code MetricsOne easy way to reduce the number of bugs that occur is to simply ensure that the code you right is higher quality. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate helps you find and fix problems before you make them by delivering advanced tools that analyze code for potential issues and ensure that code that is written is of high quality and maintainable.
Debugging code takes up a disproportionate amount of the development lifecycle. With the new features in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate you can ensure that you reduce the amount of time spent debugging code to a minimum. IntelliTraceThe new IntelliTrace feature makes the “no-repro” discussion a thing of the past. It records the application’s execution history guaranteeing that the developer can always reproduce a reported bug. Step back in time to see the exact application state at the point of time when the bug occurs and use the inline call hierarchy to quickly trace a program’s execution flow without invoking the debugger. Automatically open the code at the place exactly where the code broke, reducing debugging time. Test Impact Analysis and Code CoverageTest impact analysis can tell you exactly what tests are impacted when you change a piece of code allowing you to choose to only run impacted tests. When you change a piece of code, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate can make an automatic recommendation of tests based on that change leading to reduced testing time. Coupling this functionality with the Code Coverage tools ensure that not only are you running the appropriate tests but that you are testing all of your code so you can be confident that the code you deliver is free of defects.Coded UI TestsOnce you have found bugs in your code and have taken the steps to fix them, automated regression tests ensure that as you progress further through the development process that you catch any bugs that may have been re-introduced earlier in the cycle. This in turn ensures that you find new bugs earlier and can catch them when they are less costly to fix.
Having the right infrastructure and approach to testing is helps ensure high quality deliverables at the end of the development cycle. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate arms you with tools to ensure that testing is done right the first time and streamlines the testing process to ensure that you can deliver on time and on budget.Test and Lab ManagerVisual Studio 2010 Ultimate delivers a brand new product for manual testing and test case management.
