Objectives:

Testing and Instrumenting Web Applications in C#

  • recognize the importance of software testing, and distinguish between the types of software production models and software testing methods.
  • recognize the importance of adhering to coding standards and identify coding practices that comply with .NET standards and guidelines.
  • distinguish between specific software testing techniques, including those falling under the tester-based, coverage-based, method-based, and risk-based categories.
  • select appropriate software testing strategies.
  • use compiler constants, compiler directives, and conditional compiling attributes to facilitate the debugging of applications.
  • use the trace listener objects available in the .NET Framework to customize tracing output and to create a custom tracing solution.
  • describe and use the Debug and Trace classes in the System.Diagnostics namespace of the .NET Framework class library.
  • use trace switches to customize the behavior of the Debug and Trace classes.
  • use conditional compilation, trace listeners, Debug and Trace classes, and trace switches to instrument a C# application.
