Jon has made performance and scalability testing the focus of his career since 1988. He has completed hundreds of engagements encompassing thousands of tests against applications from every major industry and then some. To him, technology is a playground to which the rules of the game are constantly changing... Jon works out of the Arizona office (360+ sunny days a year; sorry east coasters) and lives in Goodyear with his wife and college son (Go ASU).
Getting It Right The First Time
When Microsoft released Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) 2005, I was excited to take a look at the new web testing component. Over the past 20+ years, I have used most of the performance testing tools on the market, so typically I first look at the basic functionality; how to record, how to playback and what numbers it gives me. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and depth of functionality I found. The only awkward feature I mucked around with was pulling data from external files (datapools). The setup of this was not straightforward. The newest release, VSTS 2008, makes this task simple and very straightforward, so kudos to that enhancement. RTTS has performed numerous highly successful engagements utilizing VSTS because of its rich feature set and the price is attractive for clients. I am looking forward to the next release in 2010.
For anyone out there using VSTS, how do you like the tool?
