Making WCF load testing so simple a caveman can do it
As I mentioned in previous posts, during the development of the SO-Aware Test Workbench we literally obsessed about making performance testing as simple as it gets. One of the aspects that make performance testing so simple with the SO-Aware Test Workbench is that it leverages SO-Aware’s WCF centralized configuration capabilities.

Speaking at the 4th International SOA Symposium
This week I am speaking at the 4th international SOA Symposium in Brasilia, Brazil. The topic?, take a guess… SO-Aware of course! Tomorrow I will be doing a session about agile SOA Governance that will illustrate on a lot of the principles SO-Aware is built upon as well as a lot of the experiences we have gathered in our real world implementations. Thursday I will be doing a session about RESTful Services patterns and I am scheduled to participate in a SOA Governance panel with some luminaries of SOA world. I am very much looking forward to a great conference and to have some great debates about service orientation.

How fast are my services? Is NetTcpBinding really that fast?
NetTcpBinding is often assumed to offer the best performance of all WCF bindings. When working on WCF implementations, I often hear from developers argue about the performance benefits that their solution gain by usingnettcp endpoints but rarely see any benchmarks to confirm that assertion for their specific scenario.

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 ;) )

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.

Tellago & Tellago Studios at Microsoft TechReady
This week Microsoft is hosting the first edition of their annual TechReady conference. Even though TechReady is an internal conference, Microsoft invited us to present a not one but two sessions about some our recent work. We are particularly proud of the fact that one of those sessions is about our SO-Aware service registry. We see this as a recognition to the growing popularity of SO-Aware as the best Agile SOA governance solution in the Microsoft platform.

Using Google Protocol Buffers Hypermedia Type with WCF RESTful Services: A media type processor sample
Protocol Buffers is language neutral format for serializing structured data in a very optimal format. You can think about protocol buffers as XML or JSON but lighter and smaller. This format its widely used at Google to exchange data between different systems.
