by
N. Satheesh Kumar Subashni S | December 2010 | Enterprise Articles
Software testing is one of the most important phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The delivery of the end product is based on better design, better coding, better testing, and meeting the requirements. The quality of the product is measured by testing the product based on functional and non-functional requirements with the help of testing tools and techniques. The tools are useful in simulating a real life situation and the user load. For example, testing a web application with more than 1000 user load is a very time consuming and tedious task if we do it manually. But the performance testing tool that comes along with Visual Studio 2010 can simulate this scenario and test it in a very short period of time. Visual Studio 2010 provides additional tools for testing all type of applications and scenarios such as Unit testing, Load Testing, Web testing, Ordered testing, and generic testing.
This article by Satheesh Kumar N and Subashni S, authors of Software Testing using Visual Studio Team System 2010, provides a high level overview on all the testing tools and techniques supported by Visual Studio 2010. This article covers the following topics:
- Testing as part of the software development life cycle
- Types of Testing
- Test Management in Visual Studio 2010
- Testing Tools in Visual Studio 2010
