Load Testing your WCF Service in Two Clicks
A few months back I was talking to a VP of Architecture from one of our customers about service testing practices and he expressed a very blunt viewpoint about load testing: “Developers don’t load test their web services because it's to F…. difficult”.

SO-Aware at the Atlanta Connected Systems User Group
Today my colleague Don Demsak will be presenting a session about WCF management, testing and governance using SO-Aware and the SO-Aware Test Workbench at the Connected Systems User Group in Atlanta. Don is a very engaging speaker and has prepared some very cool demos based on lessons of real world WCF solutions. If you are in the ATL area and interested in WCF, AppFabric, BizTalk you should definitely swing by Don’s session. Don’t forget to heckle him a bit (you can blame it for it ;) )

How fast are my services? Comparing basicHttpBinding and ws2007HttpBinding using the SO-Aware Test Workbench
When working on real world WCF solutions, we become pretty aware of the performance implications of the binding and behavior configuration of WCF services. However, whether it’s a known fact the different binding and behavior configurations have direct reflections on the performance of WCF services, developers often struggle to figure out the real performance behavior of the services. We can attribute this to the lack of tools for correctly testing the performance characteristics of WCF services under different load profiles. As sad as this sound, the fact of the matter is that the existing web service load test tools in the market can barely test anything other than the basicHttpBinding.

Announcing SO-Aware Test Workbench
Yesterday was a big day for Tellago Studios. After a few months hands down working, we announced the release of the SO-Aware Test Workbench tool which brings sophisticated performance testing and test visualization capabilities to theWCF world. This work has been the result of the feedback received by many of our SO-Aware and Tellago customers in terms of how to improve the WCF testing. More importantly, with the SO-Aware Test Workbench we are trying to address what has been one of the biggest challenges for WCF and BizTalk applications for years: LOAD TESTING!

Agile SOA Governance: SO-Aware and Visual Studio Integration
One of the major limitations of traditional SOA governance platforms is the lack of integration as part of the development process. Tools like HP-Systinet or SOA Software are designed to operate by models on which the architects dictate the governance procedures and policies and the rest of the team members follow along. Consequently, those procedures are frequently rejected by developers and testers given that they can’t incorporate it as part of their daily activities.
