    Load Testing in Test Studio 2013 R2

    Web applications are a lot more complicated these days than even a few years ago.  We don’t hear a lot these days about Web services as a development technology, but virtually every Web application that uses commonly provided services will access those service via traditional Web services technology.  If your Web application reports on the weather, or provides a stock market update, you are using a Web service.  A Web service uses HTTP, but it runs the SOAP, REST, or similar protocol over that.  And if your stock market updates are slow or accumulating timeout errors, chances are you are ...

    Expanded Dynamic Targets Documentation

Dynamic Targets allow Test Studio Load Tests to track the value of key-value pairs contained in responses from the server under test, and include them in the appropriate follow-up requests.

This is important, since applications that do not receive valid key-value pairs may return errors. These errors typically create a greater ...

    I Downloaded UI for ASP.NET MVC. Now What?

    Getting started with the ASP.NET MVC Wrappers for Kendo UI can seem a little daunting. After downloading and installing the package, there are a bunch of folders with things, there are sample projects, there’s a demo suite that can be run from the installer, and there are extensions installed in to Visual Studio itself. So where do you get started? With all of these things suddenly dumped in your lap, you might feel a bit lost. So let me give you a guided tour of what you just installed, and hopefully shed some light on what each of these things are and how you can use them to help you get started.

    Analytics: a turnkey solution for development teams

    Application analytics are one of the most valuable sources of information to a development team because they help measure an application’s usage and runtime performance in a real-world setting.

    Real-Time Reporting with SignalR, Kendo UI DataViz, and Icenium Part 2

    In the first part of this series, we created our SignalR hub and added a simple web form that allowed us to push data to our client apps in real-time. With our server-side code and hub complete, we now need to get into Icenium and create the most important part of our project - the hybrid mobile app. For this exercise we are going to stay inside of Visual Studio and use the new Icenium Extension for Visual Studio.
