The Service Bus in the Sky - How to Connect Identity and Applications across Firewall Boundaries
|
|
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 7:00 PM
|
Do you need to build web sites that let users log on using their Facebook passwords? Do you need to connect applications that are running inside different firewalls? Perhaps the applications are in different data centers within the same organization, or perhaps one end is in your customers' or suppliers' data centers. Perhaps you need a flexible identity management solution that lets you switch from Active Directory to Google IDs, Facebook Connect, or Live ID with no code changes. Maybe you even want to write a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft, but you don't want to create your own server infrastructure to support it. You can solve these problems using Windows Azure AppFabric. The solutions work even if your application is hosted in your own data center, and you never plan to run code in the cloud.
In this session, we'll build a web site that allows you to long on with your Google ID. We'll also build a chat application that works through firewalls, and demo it running across multiple networks.

Test Your ASP.NET Apps with VSTS Web Tests & Load Tests
|
|
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 7:00 PM
|
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 Ultimate has a test type called a Web Performance 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 doing 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 and Extraction Rules. 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 talk about how to Load Tests and how you can run them either on a stand-alone machine or with a multi-machine Load Test Rig. Along the way, Ben will discuss some of your options for profiling your application under load and how you can tie your Load Tests and Web Tests in to your TFS2010 Automated Builds.
