• ASP.NET MVC Test Framework Integration Walkthrough

  Vishal’s earlier blog post, ASP.NET MVC Test Framework Integration , outlined the motivation and steps for registering a third party test framework for use with ASP.NET MVC Applications.

• Looking for strong SDET's to help with Web Development tools testing!!!!!

  The test role at Microsoft and specifically the VWD team is somewhat different from a traditional test position in the software industry. Our team is responsible for redefining how professional designers, developers, academics and hobbyists design, develop and deploy web applications. Testers on our team are basically frontline developers who try out the new features. They provide feedback to directly influence the design and implementations, ensuring our features meet customer expectations, there is a significant reason to adopt and most importantly, meets a high quality bar. Testers on our team are responsible for creating an automation framework that helps to test UI features. As SDE/T's we are also responsible for stress testing, performance...

• A peek into the VWD QA World

  Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm John Dixon, one of the SDET Leads on VWD. I wanted to share some of the recent work the Venus QA team has done to make our life easier. I'll start with a little bit of history. I hope you find it interesting! Old School: In our last release (VS2005) QA would get a new build and based on build verification tests (BVTs) decide to take\reject the build and perform additional qualification (such as run nightly tests - a manual process of creating a 'run' in our lab and wait for results). Upon the results we could write new tests against the new build\features made available from the dev work performed since the last build we took. This generally worked but caused a lot of downtime as we would typically need to... Posted Aug 04 2006, 11:49 PM by Your Websites, Our Passion! Filed under: ASP.NET, Test

• Cannot Create A New Website?

  Over the last few months, I've seen a number of forum posts from people saying that when they choose "Create New Website", the dialog box that showed them the different types of websites they could create was completely horked. For example, instead of showing this: it would instead show this: Often when we see bugs like this, it's very frustrating for us as testers, and even as a product group. We know the bug exists. You tell us it's there, you show us screen shots and everything, but not matter what we do, we are unable to repro the bug in house. Well, I can say we have successfully tamed this bug. It appears that this dialog gets screwed up by some third party registry cleaning tools. I was able to verify this by installing a clean copy of...
