Keeping the pipeline healthy and making it effective is KEY to your DevOps ongoing journey. Some time back we introduced Analytics in Azure Pipeline with Top failing tests report to help you do just that.
I’m excited to share the new navigation we’re working on for Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to modernize the user experience and give you more flexibility. As Lori mentioned in her blog post, our goal to create an integrated suite that also gives the flexibly to pick and choose the services that work best for you. That goal is a common customer...
We often get asked how to do CI/CD for IoT apps using Win10 IoT Core. If you’ve been considering or using Win10 IoT Core, then read on. The Visual Studio Test Platform that ships with Visual Studio 15.6 RTW now supports Testing on Win10 IoT Core. Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are key practices in DevOps. Integrations ar...
Introduction MSTest V2 v1.3.0 Beta2 now supports in-assembly parallel execution of tests - the top most requested/commented issue on the testfx repo. The feature can dramatically reduce the total time taken to execute a suite of tests. To get started, install the framework and adapter from NuGet. If you are already using MSTest V2, then upgrade to...
As you are already aware, we announced the plan for deprecating XAML builds sometime back. TFS 2018 RC1 is now available and with that XAML builds are no longer supported. Consequently, Lab Management and automated testing capabilities in Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) are no longer supported starting from TFS 2018 RC1. In TFS 2015, we shipped the...
MSTest V2 has crossed 1 Million downloads. Congratulations! Hats off to the community! MSTest V2 is seeing robust usage. We ourselves use it heavily. If you are still using an earlier version of the MSTest framework, we encourage you to upgrade. We have looked at the uptake of MSTest V2 from the perspective of two constituencies, and our approac...
Having executed a test - at a minimum - we want to know the outcome. But beyond that, we may want to know more. Data collectors and loggers are the key extension mechanisms intended to provide this and other such details for rich reporting. Data collectors and loggers generate information based on listening to events raised during test execution. ...
Updating off pre-RTM bits once RTM ships ought to be routine. But if you have not already done so in the case of the .NET Core based Test projects, let me give you a reason to do so. vstest delegates discovery and execution of tests to test-framework-specific adapters. Adapters indicate the kind of test containers that they can process – for e.g. ...
Essential to TIA’s test selection is the map of dynamic dependencies between test methods and source files of code exercised during their execution. TIA needs dependencies mapped in this form: TIA can generate such a dependencies-map for managed code execution. Where such dependencies reside in .cs and .vb files, TIA can automatically watch for ...
APIs are assets. As developers we learn them, write to them, and – if the API are extensible – we grow them. An extensible API removes barriers to introducing new abstractions closer to our own domains. Once such abstractions are in place, they in turn allow us to work with the underlying framework in a more fluent manner. Extensibility therefore h...
