  • Artículo

My decision to focus on the SQL Server vertical has paid off for me—metaphorically & literally.

Now it's time to spread my wings a bit & learn about Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) web testing.

My colleague & A.C.E. performance engineer Chris Lundquist has compiled a 6:58 wmv featuring his unscripted yet eloquent dialog walking us step-by-step through a VSTS web test:

  1. Starting VSTS
  2. Adding a new C#/Web Test project
  3. Adding comments
  4. Running the test, exploring the Web Browser, Request, Response, Context, & Details tabs
  5. Modifying test parameters & re-running

Chris included a happenin' sound track.  He even nailed the timing.

Noteworthy advice:  "Don't be shy, you won't break anything."

I dutifully took copious notes along with screen shots.  Chris's video, my notes, screen shots—it's all here for you: https://tinyurl.com/VSTSWebTest.  ¡w00t!

This is the best introduction to this technology you may ever see.

Download Chris's VSTS web test step-by-step primer, and see & hear for yourself what a great job he's done.  Refer your friends & colleagues, especially those who are starting out on VSTS web testing.  Doing so will provide an elegant, entertaining introduction to this fundamental yet vital technology.
