Here are top stories we found in our streams this week related to DevOps, VSTS, TFS and other interesting topics.

 TOP STORIES

• Azure Functions – Prepare for continuous delivery – Mikael Krief
  Let’s start with the development, debugging, and testing of our Azure Functions.
• Hierarchical Testing – What are you Testing? and Why? – David Corbin
  In the previous post we started to identify different dimensions for testing. Here we will be focusing on the Domain Axis. There are many different domains that tend to group into one of the following:
• Running the Ubuntu VSTS Agent on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) – Wes Macdonald
  I was playing with the new ASP.NET Core Template in Visual Studio 2017 and I thought it would be interesting to spin up a Linux Agent right on my Windows 10 Pro installation.
• Using Test Hub in VSTS to run Automated Tests on Web applications – Gouri Sohoni
  A couple of years ago, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Test Manager (MTM), a separate set of tools for testers along with Visual Studio 2010. Since then there have been a lot of enhancements for MTM.
• Ethereum DevOps with VSTS – easier now with new Truffle installer + npx – David Burela
  I have spent a few weeks in my spare time trying to vastly streamline and simplify getting a basic pipeline going that provides: compilation, testing, migrating of solidity contracts using Truffle.
• Learn how to unit test SQL Server T-SQL code – Ed Elliott
  A free email course on how to use tSQLt including the technical aspects of writing unit tests AND the art of writing repeatable, useful unit tests for even the most complicated.
• Red Pill Or Blue Pill – Brian Hall
  While setting up a new project on Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), you are given a choice. The choice of source control. That choice provides the direction of how your code will be managed.
• Deploying PowerShell Module from GitHub to a MyGet Feed using VSTS CI/CD Pipeline – Tao Yang
  Lately I have been playing with VSTS and its CI/CD capabilities. I thought a good scenario to build is to use VSTS CI/CD pipeline to automatically deploy the module from GitHub to my MyGet feed whenever I commit to the master branch for the particular PS module.
