Pex for fun - from Microsoft Research. VS 2012 Exploratory Testing On Remote Device. The new Exploratory testing capability in Visual Studio 2012 is great, and I’ve been using it with Web based applications and thick clients such as WPF.

VS 2012 Exploratory Testing On Remote Device

If you haven’t seen it then it allows you to start a test without any test scripts, and to then create bugs and/or reverse engineer a test case while you explore the application under test, capturing screenshots, the steps you’ve performed, system information and more. I was at the World Record setting Game Jam at the weekend, during which 50 teams were developing Windows Store game Apps, and (over a pizza with Aj Grand-Scrutton of Dlala Studios) it seemed like a good idea to look into using exploratory testing with Windows Store Apps deployed onto a separate touch device. I was delighted that it worked very well, and this is my summary of the process. My thanks to the infinite patience of Simon Michael while I used his device as the test bed.

Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing extension

Without some kind of working example that customers can work with, it's really not going to gain any traction. For those curious about being able to swap between browsers at will, it turns out you need to set an environment variable in order to do that. I found some now out-of-date material at that has a bit of detail on that. Overall, this is an improvement over being able to run only on IE, but the amount of work that is needed to do so can be time consuming. For example - if you have anything dynamic on your pages (say, part of the window title changes based on a previous action), you're not going to have a great deal of luck using this. Also, having to code your own "WaitForAjax" solution is a big hurdle to clear. Based on what I see so far, my team will be staying with our current Selenium WebDriver framework.

Unit Test Generator extension

Compatible with Resharper Does exactly what it promises, setting up the plumbing and creating one test method, or a test method for EVERY public methods of a public class. Obviously not the same as the discontinued feature, but then it states that clearly. People who ever developed this plugin ,please don't call yourself a programmer. It would be really nice if it picked up on the InternalsVisibleTo setting, and allow you to create unit tests for internal classes in the project. Better than nothing. The original version would create test cases with a template call tothe method under test, AND would also allow you to create test cases (with calling stubs) for EVERY method in a class, not just one at a time. Terrible.... Who's idea was to remove from VS 2013 "Create Unit Test"? This solves nothing. VS 2013 Testing features has gone back in time 10 years. Thanks for restoring this functionality to Visual Studio! Bull shit :(. //act.
