These days lot of web applications are being developed to meet the growing demands of business. So testing these applications is a big challenge. Automating test scenarios has become almost inevitable to reduce the overall cost and fast regression testing. Selenium webdriver is the best open source testing framework that can be used to automate the testing activities in web application project. In this book I have included all webdriver concepts with examples in C#.Net.

* Includes selection of patterns and anti-patterns to describe ideal environment for success.

* Looks in-depth at specific tools, and extensions of these tools.

* Focuses on how projects are actually handled in real world―drawing on author’s vast field experience.

* Includes code examples like NAnt automation tasks, case studies, and facilitation utilities.

In many companies, software testers are simply considered software developers with a lower pay. However, that’s not the case. While it is true that software testing involves a lot of programming, it also requires a significantly different mind set and skills. Let’s illustrate this with a story:

Dark Ages. First, the developer arrives at the site and starts to plan the castle. He thinks, “Let’s put it on top of that hill, it’s the highest and provides a good, defendable position. It will also border with a river and so the defenders will always have water. Walls? Five meters thick and enforced concrete should do the trick. Gates… steel, half a meter thick. Good.”

Then the test team arrives on horses in a full armor, and the test lead starts to look at the castle. His thoughts are a bit different, “Ok, the position is strong, cannot take it over with a direct attack. What about the tower? Ladders will not work,…

The full transcript of Memory Dump Analysis Services Training with 7 step-by-step exercises, notes, source code of specially created modeling applications and selected questions and answers. Covers 20 .NET memory dump analysis patterns plus additional unmanaged patterns. Learn how to analyze .NET application and service crashes and freezes, navigate through memory dump space (managed and unmanaged code) and diagnose corruption, leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, resource contention, and much more. The training consists of practical step-by-step exercises using WinDbg to diagnose patterns in 32-bit and 64-bit process memory dumps. The training uses a unique and innovative pattern-driven analysis approach to speed up the learning curve. Prerequisites: Basic .NET programming and debugging. Audience: Software technical support and escalation engineers, system administrators, software developers and quality assurance engineers.

What is good code? This book provides specific guidelines for well-written code in the .NET context. The contents are based on award-winning material the author has presented at conferences throughout the US and Europe.

While other Extreme Programming books are usually theoretical in approach, this book steers you through the practical application of Extreme Programming with code-level solutions. So if you're currently a .NET 1.1 (or future .NET 2.0) developer, and need to put XP into practice & - pick up this book. You will learn how to apply XP principles in a real-world environment. This book provides an in-depth look at each of the XP practices and examines how each of these fits into the project development life cycle. Thus, by showing you how to work with .NET 1.1 today, and .NET 2.0 tomorrow, this book bestows you with long-term vision for Extreme Programming with Microsoft technologies.

Pearce's book is specifically about debugging in the programming language VB.NET for every application type, from Windows Forms to ASP.NET to XML Web services.

Create highly scalable apps and monitor Azure functions in production using Azure Functions 2.0. This book takes you through durable functions for statefulness and covers not only the basics, but also how to create bindings in durable functions. It is a deep dive into the Azure Functions serverless API and will guide you through the process of converting monolithic applications to use Azure functions. The author starts by giving an overview of serverless architecture and Azure functions along with Azure App Services. You will then learn to create basic Azure functions using the Azure portal and Visual Studio. Next, you will create a serverless API using Azure Functions and migrate an existing application to Azure Functions. Finally, you will deploy an Azure function and monitor it in production. Here you will deploy the Azure function using ARM templates and secure and configure CORS for Azure functions. 
After reading this book, you will be able to understand Azure…
