Web Testing
• Web testing is the process of testing one or more HTTP applications by making one or more web
requests and analyzing the results.
- In order to explore testing, a simple example web test will be added to the project.
• When you add a Web Test to the current web project, it assumes that you would like to record a web
session.
- Notice the window that pops up, the Web Test Recorder, ready to record our interaction with a web
application or web service:
• By recording a web session in this way, it’s easier to create an accurate web test, which simulates a real
web session.
- This tool captures each of the web requests, hidden form fields and query string parameters.
- You can choose to pause or stop the web session at any point.
- You can also add a comment for a given request or manually remove an accidental request.
- For finer control, you can work directly with the Web Test itself (as you’ll see in a moment).
• With a simple request to http://localhost:1070/TeamTestWeb/DataSetCode.aspx,
the web request is recorded.
• Here, you can see how our web request to DataSetCode.aspx was added to the web test.
• Modifications can be made to the web test by merely right-clicking on the items within the test.
- The toolbar buttons (shown just above the context menu) do the same thing as well.
- You can add additional web requests or web service requests, as well as additional web session
recordings.
• You can also generate source code (via Reflection) that can be used to run the web test (again, see
context menu in diagram above). Nice!

• This generated file is automatically added to the test project.
• This generated code should look familiar to you – stating that it was generated by a tool.
- This is much like the code generated when you add a Web Reference to a .NET project.
- You can continue to use the code as is or modify it to your liking.
• Web Tests, as well as most other types of tests in Team Test, can be configured to the “nth” degree.
- Tests can be programmatically modified with the use of custom plug-ins.
- Plug-ins are custom-developed assemblies referenced from your test project (see context menu in
diagram above).
• There are several namespaces available in the testing framework that offer extended testing capabilities
outside the scope of this class. Here are a few:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Web
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting.Rules
- Just know that programmatically using these namespaces offer higher capabilities to your tests.
- These capabilities include custom handling of tests, exception handling, validation rules and direct
parameter manipulation, to name a few.
- These namespaces are only available with Team Test and Team Suite.
