Praise for Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development

 

“Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development tells a tale about three fictive project stakeholders as they use agile techniques to plan and execute their project. The format works well for the book; this book is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply.”

—Johannes Brodwall, Chief Scientist, Steria Norway

 

“Agile development, some say, is all about pairing, and, yes, I’m a believer in the power of pairing. After reading this book, however, I became a fan of the ‘triad’—the customer or business analyst + the developer + the tester, who work collaboratively on acceptance tests to drive software development. I’ve written some…

“Mario Hewardt’s Advanced .NET Debugging is an excellent resource for both beginner and experienced developers working with .NET. The book is also packed with many debugging tips and discussions of CLR internals, which will benefit developers architecting software.”

–Jeffrey Richter, consultant, trainer, and author at Wintellect

 

“Mario has done it again. His Advanced Windows Debugging (coauthored with Daniel Pravat) is an invaluable resource for native code debugging, and Advanced .NET Debugging achieves the same quality, clarity, and breadth to make it just as invaluable for .NET debugging.”

–Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Microsoft Corporation

The Only Complete, Practical Guide to Fixing the Toughest .NET Bugs…

Learn to use C#'s powerful set of core libraries to automate tedious yet important tasks like performing vulnerability scans, malware analysis, and incident response. With some help from Mono, you can write your own practical security tools that will run on Windows, Mac, Linux, and even mobile devices.
Following a crash course in C# and some of its advanced features, you'll learn how to:

• Write fuzzers that use the HTTP and XML libraries to scan for SQL and XSS injection
• Generate shellcode in Metasploit to create cross-platform and cross-architecture payloads
• Automate Nessus, OpenVAS, and sqlmap to scan for vulnerabilities and exploit SQL injections
• Write a .NET decompiler for Mac and Linux
• Parse and read offline registry hives to dump system information
• Automate the security tools Arachni and Metasploit using their MSGPACK RPCs

Streamline and simplify your work day with Gray Hat C# and C#'s extensive

This book is a step-by-step guide to building your own SharePoint farm in a home lab setting. Learn how to build a windows domain and then join servers into the domain in order to create your own testing and learning environment. After you get the domain stood up, where you go from there is up to you.  This book will help you learn how to spin up SharePoint in a least privileged fashion.  This isn’t strictly a SharePoint book, though. For example, if you’re not a SharePoint professional and are just looking to create a working windows domain for other purposes; the home-lab domain that you’ll create will work great for Exam preparation for non-SharePoint purposes.  You could even use it for learning how to install Exchange Server.  After all, it’s your Home Lab domain. In this book you will build your home-lab domain and you’ll have a great place for learning how to administer SharePoint and develop SharePoint Apps…

Learn different testing techniques and features of Visual Studio 2012 with detailed explanations and real-time samples

Overview

• Using Test Manager and managing test cases and test scenarios
• Exploratory testing using Visual Studio 2012
• Learn unit testing features and coded user interface testing
• Advancement in web performance testing and recording of user scenarios

In Detail

Testing is one of the main phases in the software development lifecycle. Managing the test scenarios, test cases, defects, and linking each one of these is bit of a challenge without using any tools. For frequently changing businesses, it is essential to address testing requirements by matching the pace of the business. This can only be achieved through automation of the possible testing scenarios to reduce the turnaround time of testing.

Software Testing Using Visual Studio 2012 is a practical, hands-on guide that provides…

*Unlike its competitors, focuses solely on applied programming techniques for testers

*Will appeal to both developers and testers alike; already popularized in classrooms worldwide for three years

*Testing market is growing as more business adopt .NET technologies

Developing applications in a reactive style ensures that the experience is always responsive. Akka.NET is a framework for building distributed, message-driven applications which are able to stay responsive for the user even in the face of failure or when faced with more users. It makes it easy for .NET developers to write applications which are able to react to changes in their environment.

Reactive Applications with Akka.NET begins with an overview of reactive and a sample application written in the reactive style. Readers will learn concepts of the actor model and what these mean in a real- world reactive context. This hands-on book builds on fundamental concepts that teach how to create reliable and resilient applications. It also teaches useful Akka.NET features for building real-world applications. By the end of the book, readers will be able to look at a problem domain and understand how to create applications which are able to withstand modern demands…

Agile software development teams are seeking better ways to create business-facing automated tests that support the development of the right product. Cucumber is rapidly becoming the most popular tool for accomplishing this objective – but, until now, no book has covered Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) practices and tools in sufficient depth. Teams have been forced to keep reinventing the wheel, or else to hire one of a handful of consultants at great expense. Behavior-Driven Development with Cucumber fills that gap.

¿

Richard Lawrence and Paul Rayner begin by illuminating ATDD’s value, and showing how it can help you produce better software with less pain. Next, they present a complete BDD/Cucumber reference and tutorial that provides a common language for software customers and team members alike. Lawrence and Rayner thoroughly explain the role of each team member and…
