The following are useful demos and videos on the Visual Studio 2010 suite:

  1. Testhouse MOSS Scalability Pack - DEMO

    Moss Scalability Pack is a solution to meet the challenges of performance / load / stress testing Moss Implementations using the Visual Studio 2010. The solution provides the facility to

1) Create a test environment for vanilla installations
2) Scripts to handle the various service offerings from Moss
3) Improved Monitoring and reporting facility to speed up the RCA ( Root Cause Analysis ) process

The solution can be used in parts or as a whole, the video below goes through the solution in more detail:

Coded UI Test Automation - WEBCAST

Testhouse in joint partnership with Microsoft Gulf (in Dubai) will be hosting a series of monthly webinar focusing on improving the productivity and predictability of software construction through testing.

The first of these is on Coded UI Test. "Coded UI Automation" is the ability to automate user interface interactions and verify that they worked as expected in order to test the functionality of the user interface.   The webinar included a few demos on some of the Coded UI functionalities such as:

  1. Basic Coded UI test
  2. Data Driving
  3. Use of Coded UI Test Editor to customise generated codes

Performance Testing - WEBCAST

Web Performance Testing is the process of simulating the interactions between a Browser and a Web Server.  The Web Test Recorder in Visual Studio records all the interactions between the browser and the server and stores them in the project enabling you to record an entire user story for instance.  They are normally used for producing load during Load Tests however they can also be used to perform functional testing although in a limited way.


Unit Testing - WEBCAST

Unit testing is the ability to write procedures which test small sections of an application in isolation from the rest of the application code.  They can be included in Build verification tests and should be an integral part of any Continuous Integration Build.


Load Testing - WEBCAST

Load testing is a non-functional testing technique designed to simulate a multitude of users on a system enabling the tester to ascertain if the system is functional under normal load and how it copes with stress.
