<description> <![CDATA[ In November 2006 Microsoft released Visual Studio&Acirc;&reg; Team System Database Edition, also known as DBPro or Data Dude, which introduced a product lifecycle methodology to database development. DBPro also introduced a database unit-testing designer that makes it easy to either generate or write T-SQL-oriented unit tests to verify database objects prior to deployment. In this article, I will dig into database unit testing, explain how the feature was implemented, and show you how to perform unit testing of your own database projects. ]]> </description>

<description> <![CDATA[ There is no single best way to test software. In addition to manual testing, depending on your particular development environment, you may be using commercial test automation frameworks, open source and in-house test automation frameworks, and custom test automation scripts. All these approaches have pros and cons.
Custom test automation scripts have the advantages of being quick to write and providing maximum flexibility. However, a downside to using custom test automation is manageability. Your testing effort can become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of test scripts, test case data, and test results. Luckily, Visual Studio&Acirc;&reg; 2005 Team System provides you with the ability to manage custom test automation... ]]> </description>

<title>Test automation with Windows XP Embedded</title>

<description> <![CDATA[ Have you ever worked with the Windows XP Embedded operating system? This is essentially a developer-customized, slimmed-down version of the Windows XP operating system intended for use on PC-like devices—game consoles, information kiosks, network appliances, and the like. With the rapid growth in the use of mobile and embedded devices, this platform is increasingly important.
I've discovered that there is a sort of knowledge gap between software test engineers and developers who work with the Windows XP Embedded-based software systems. To help bridge that gap, in this month's column I'm joined by Mike Hall, a Senior Product Manager in the Microsoft&reg; Mobile and Embedded Devices group and an expert on Windows XP Embedded. Together we will explain how you can create lightweight but powerful UI test automation for software systems that run on Windows XP Embedded... ]]> </description>

<description> <![CDATA[ In the past couple of years, unit testing has gained tremendously in popularity; but while most developers understand the overall concept, certain aspects have been more elusive. Among these is how to effectively replace component servers for testing purposes. Most people call these replacements stubs or mocks, but as I will show in this article, these are only two types in a larger continuum of replacements.. ]]> </description>

<title>Improving Application Quality Using Test-Driven Development (TDD)</title>
<link>http://www.dotnetcat.com/news/Testing/id/7662/</link>
<pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:53:00 -0500</pubDate>
<description> <![CDATA[ What is the one activity or phase that improves the quality of your application? The answer is an easy one: Testing, and plenty of it. Traditionally, testing is a phase somewhere towards the expected end of the project - when the cost of any code or requirement changes is known to be much higher. Craig looks at how TDD can address this by adopting a more agile approach. ]]> </description>
