VSTT Reference Guide

If you are looking for some serious guidance on Visual Studio test, then the Rangers have come to the rescue (again) with a lovely 83 page document on VSTT. Get it from CodePlex

It sounds like a contraction that 83 pages is a reference guide but from my use this morning of it (couldn’t of come out at a better time for me), it isn’t. It is not meant to be read from beginning to end, rather you can easily skip between parts because the material is presented in a Q&A format which is easy to manage.

What’s in it?

• SETUP CONSIDERATIONS 9
• WEB TEST CONSIDERATIONS 14
• WEB SERVICE TEST CONSIDERATIONS 35
• UNIT TEST CONSIDERATIONS 36
• LOAD TEST CONSIDERATIONS 42
• LOAD TEST RIG CONSIDERATION 56
• PERFORMANCE DATA COLLECTION AND USAGE 66
• LOAD TEST RESULTS STORE INFORMATION 73
• TEST CUSTOMIZATION 76
• ITEMS CHANGED OR FIXED IN VSTS 2008 SP1 77
• GENERAL COMMANDS AND TRICKS (NOT VSTS SPECIFIC) 79
