Hi! My name is Ulzii Luvsanbat and I’m a Senior Test Lead with the Visual C++ team. Diego told me about some feedback received in a recent post regarding the accuracy and usefulness of the F1-Help command when working on C++ projects. First of all, I want to start by thanking all of you guys for your feedback on F1 Help experiences ...
Hey, Scripting Guy! I need to be able to use Windows PowerShell 2.0 to create a text file that is a specific size. I know that I can create a text file by using FSUTIL, but when I open the file, it is empty. Therefore, I would like a text file that contains a certain amount of data inside it. The reason for this request is I ...

Well, it seems the last post wasn’t too controversial. Let me try something that might be a bit more controversial. Heck, it might even get some people down right agitated with me but that’s OK, disagreement is a useful tool to drive clarity and understanding. I don’t like Test Driven Development. I don&...

Hey, Scripting Guy! I am interested in using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) cmdlets to create users and organizational units. Is this a hard thing to do? I only ask this because I am an extremely busy network administrator who has barely had time to begin looking at Windows PowerShell. I do not have a lot of time to spend ...
Pierre Greborio, a developer over in MSTV, has contributed a great new feature to the power tool task that allows you to run tests without .vsmdi files: test categories. Those of you who have used NUnit are probably familiar with the Category attribute. Test categories allow you to execute specific groups of unit tests. ...
It’s been just released a few days ago to Codeplex: WCF Load Test. It looks pretty nice! :-) Project Description This tool takes a WCF trace file and a WCF client proxy, or a WCF interface contract, and generates a unit test that replays the same sequence of calls found in the trace file. The code generated is easily modifiable so that data...
You can debug both unit tests and Web tests that you are using to test ASP.NET Web projects. You can also debug your ASP.NET production code while a test is running.However, when you are testing ASP.NET code, the test code does not run in the typical way, under the VSTestHost process. Instead, it runs in either the IIS process, or if your Web ...
One of the coolest new capabilities in 2010 is "Lab Management". It enables you to automate the setup and configuration of test environments, saving you a bunch of time doing it every time you have a new build you want to test. We first released it in Beta 1, but the truth is it's a V1 product and it just wasn't really ready enough...
