Introducing
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Web Testing This article
introduces the Web Testing functionality in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team
System, and demonstrates how to create and customize a Web test case.

Strengthening
Visual Studio Unit Tests One of the most exciting
additions is the new unit testing features found in the Test menu on the main
menu bar. While we've had some excellent unit testing tools in .NET
Framework-based development for a while, these new unit testing features
provide clean integration and an emphasis that was missing before.
Nevertheless, the unit testing tools do have a few rough spots. Here, I will
discuss the pitfalls and problems I've encountered while working with the new
testing tools. I've included one of the real modules I've been working on along
with its unit test so you can have a useful example at hand. Note that all of
these problems are fixable, and you can confidently
implement these testing tools immediately in your development shops.

Web
Test Authoring and Debugging Techniques Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team
Edition for Software Testers introduces a brand new set of powerful tools for
Web and load testing. A load test of a Web application might span multiple
machines and simulate tens of thousands of users, but at its heart it is a
collection of Web tests. This article targets testers and developers who want
to learn some techniques for creating effective Web tests and for debugging
them to ensure they run as intended.

Visual
Studio 2005 Team Test Edition: Testing Demos The Visual Studio 2005 Team
Test Edition introduces a suite of new test tools. With this release, all tests
including unit, Web, load and manual testing are first class citizens in Visual
Studio and can be shared across the organization. The test results can be
published to a database, you can generate trend and historical reports, compare
different kinds of data, see how many and which bugs were found as a result of
testing, and identify which bugs are not linked to a test that could help
reproduce them.
