Test Your ASP.NET Apps with VSTS Web Tests & Load Tests
Description: It's hopeless. There's no automated way to test your web apps. The only option is to test them by hand, right? Well, no. Visual Studio Team System has Web Tests that let you run and validate different paths through your ASP.NET applications. Each test simulates a user performing a bunch of actions across a series of web pages and allows you to check the response to verify that your app is going what you expect. Once you have your Web Tests defined you assemble them together to create Load Tests. Load Tests simulate hundreds of users hitting your web app in order to validate how well -- or not so well -- your application performs under stress. In this session, Ben will show you how to write complex Web Tests using Validation Rules, Extraction Rules, and Web Test Plugins. He'll also cover how to make your tests data-driven using an external data source so you'll get better tests with less code. Then we'll move on to creating Load Tests using both a stand-alone machine and with multiple machines using VSTS Load Test Agent. We'll also talk about what your options are for profiling your application under load using Run Settings and Stress Test Counters. Ben will wrap up the session by showing you how to make it all work inside of a Team Build.
