With Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 we’ve invested in building out significant new application lifecycle management (ALM) capabilities for SharePoint applications. This work is primarily centred around multiple forms of testing: from load testing that enables the stressing of SharePoint applications with simulated load and network conditions; to performance testing that enables recording and running performance suites against SharePoint solutions; to unit testing that enables coded UI tests for simulating user interaction and that enables using the Microsoft Fakes Framework for stubbing out SharePoint dependencies in unit tests. https://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2012/11/26/visual-studio-2012-update-1-now-available.aspx Windows 8 / IIS 8 Concurrent Requests Limit IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012 doesn’t have any fixed concurrent request limit, apart from whatever limit would be reached when resources are maxed. However, the client version of IIS 8, which is on Windows 8, does have a concurrent connection request limitation. https://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2012/11/13/windows-8-iis-8-concurrent-requests-limit.aspx Using Url Rewrite to Block Page Requests Using Log Parser to get quick extracts of data form your web site’s logs and IIS 7’s URL Rewrite module. https://www.peterviola.com/using-url-rewrite-to-block-page-requests/ PremierOpsVault — Operate and Optimize IT Microsoft Premier Support UK - Site Home - TechNet Blogs https://blogs.technet.com/b/mspremuk/ DocumentsSharePoint TechnologiesUpgrade: Frequent questions from SharePoint Conference 2012 It was great talking with so many people at the SharePoint Conference. From one on one discussions to the big crush at Ask the Experts, we had several questions come up multiple times. Here are the most frequent questions from the conference about upgrade..... Introducing the SharePoint Hybrid Configuration Scenario A SharePoint 2013 hybrid environment consists of an on-premises SharePoint 2013 farm and a tenancy in the new SharePoint Online. The integration of the two allows you to use certain resources from the two constituent environments to build unified solutions. Microsoft Internet Information ServerExamples of IIS Powershell cmdlets This document explains how to specify the values of parameter values and how the configuration file is updated by IIS Powershell generic cmdlets such as Get-WebConfiguration and Get-WebConfigurationProperty so that users can use them effectively. https://blogs.iis.net/jeonghwan/archive/2012/11/12/examples-of-iis-powershell-cmdlets.aspx URL Rewrite – Protocol (http/https) in the Action IIS URL Rewrite supports server variables for pretty much every part of the URL and http header. However, there is one commonly used server variable that isn’t readily available. That’s the protocol—HTTP or HTTPS.

Unit testing for SharePoint code is difficult. Ideally you would like to isolate code under test from the surrounding SharePoint framework. Isolation frameworks, such as Microsoft Fakes, can enable this code isolation. Unfortunately, as anyone who has followed this path will tell you, creating and maintaining the set of mocks and fakes for the SharePoint environment can be very costly. Luckily, the SharePoint Emulators team has done the heavy lifting for you. SharePoint Emulators provide a system of Fakes based shims implementing the basic behaviours of the SharePoint 2010 server object model. https://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2012/11/26/introducing-sharepoint-emulators.aspx Microsoft Internet Information ServerIIS DownloadCENTER This is your single source for finding Microsoft Internet Information Services tools, samples, extensions, filters and modules created by Microsoft and the IIS community.
