VSTS 2008, Web Tests and using Fiddler
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:04 PM

I have been doing some performance and load testing of a web application I have been working on lately. Most of my previous experience was with the 2005 flavour of VSTS and I was keen to play with the 2008 version to see what improvements have been made.

Monday, September 24, 2007 4:10 PM

This was verified by simply placing breakpoints in the Page_Load events... Read More...
