patterns & practices Catalog at a Glance

Periodically I create a simple summary table of our patterns & practices collection of assets.  This helps me analyze the collection as a catalog.  To keep it incredibly simple, I organize the catalog by guidance types.  This way, at a glance, I can see the collections of guides, patterns, factories, reference implementations, and EntLib.  In this case, I also added any work in progress that I was aware of to get a real bird’s-eye view of the catalog.

  Do you offer any guidance for automated testing (unit testing) using Microsoft technologies?  (IE: WCF/WF/MVC/etc.)

  Looking forward to parallel programming guidance, especially for F# and I/O focus. Loved Deltas for Azure Security frame

  @ Steve -- your best bet is the Acceptance Testing guide.  I don't think it has exactly what you want, but you can draw from the principles, patterns, and practices. @ Alik -- The times they are a-Changin', my friend :)
