Summary

Summary

• Testing measures conformance to product requirements.

• Unit tests check that each piece of code works correctly.

• Integration tests verify that all components work together.

• Regression tests make sure that new code does not break existing code.

• Load tests check that the product works under extreme usage.

• Platform tests make sure that a Web application is displayed correctly and has reasonable performance using different browser and network connection configurations.

• Use ACT to record user interaction with a Web application in VBScript, and then replay that script to simulate multiple users and log application errors and server performance.

• To test a .NET assembly with the Windows Scripting Host, register the assembly for use with COM, and then copy the scripting host (CScript.exe) to the assembly s folder.

• To run attended builds and tests, create a command file containing the build commands to execute and test scripts to run, and then schedule the command file to run using the Windows Task Scheduler.

• Use the Debug and Trace diagnostic classes to display alerts and log error conditions during the development process.

• By default, code written with the Debug class is stripped out of release builds, and code using the Trace class is left in.

• Visual Studio .NET can attach to the process of a Web application running on a remote server to debug that application in a real-world setting.
