Process of End to End Testing Ordinary Build Performed Start Lab Build Build Report Stored Request the Lab Lab Build Requested Deploy the software Run automated Tests Triage Issues Run Manual Tests
Demo Lab Management
Load Testing • Microsoft has provided load testing since Visual Studio 2005 • Enables stress testing of application, building on the test you have already written • Since May 2011, the Load Test Agent has become free as part of the Load Testing Feature Pack (you do need VS 2010 Ultimate too)
Load Test Architecture A Local PC Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Test Controller (Manages Test Agents) Test Agent (Runs Tests)
Load Test Architecture A Developers PC Test Controller PC Test Controller (Manages Test Agents) Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Another PC Another PC Test Agent (Runs Tests) Test Agent (Runs Tests) Another PC Test Agent (Runs Tests)
Demo LoAD Testing
Summary • Delivering quality software is not just about programming • Automated builds bring repeatable quality to a project • Lab Management can extend this into both automated and manual testing with a fully integrated solution • Load testing is now available to all, building on the test you have already written
