  • Test Run: The Analytic Hierarchy Process
    Most software testing takes place at a relatively low level. Testing an application's individual methods for functional correctness is one example. However, some important testing must take place at a very high level—for example, determining if a current build is significantly better overall than a previous build.
    James McCaffrey - June 2005

  • Test: Build Quick and Easy UI Test Automation Suites with Visual Studio .NET
    The .NET Framework provides a surprising new way to quickly and easily create user interface test automation. By using objects in the System.Reflection and System.Threading namespaces, you can write automated tests in minutes instead of hours. This article walks you through the building of a typical Windows-based application that will be used as the test subject. The author then runs through the creation of a C#-based test tool that simulates clicking the test app's UI controls and checks the application's state. After the tool is built, the author explains in detail how it works so you can modify and extend it for your own use.
