Welcome to VS2010 testing and Coded UI

Hi All,

Greetings!

I have been working in VS2010 team system for last couple of months and its time to share and learn along with you.

What VS2010 offers for testing?

Microsoft follows team system approach for team collaboration starting from requirement collection, planning, development and release related activities. Until this version, a major gap exists in their collaboration as they didn’t support functional testing completely (supported unit test only).

In the release of VS2010, it said to landed in testing by providing good support for testing practices and extend all their team system capabilities to testing services as well. I will give credit to Microsoft and their Testing team because they have done it well and supposed to be their first release of supporting testing process.

I am a beginner in VS2010 testing concepts and learning things everyday. I will praise the good things and point out the issues as we move in this exploration.

Microsoft – like every one, bundles different feature for different versions and pricing models. VS2010 Ultimate version is said to have complete set of features of this release where one can develop, write unit, record/develop functional tests(involving UI actions),connect to TFS and with Test Manager to write manual test cases for a test plan, record test actions, run them using lab manager and more. I will be interested on this and most of my posts will be based on this version.

And Believe!!! There are 101 ways to automate.

Thanks & Regards,

Giri Prasad
