    ASP.NET MVC + Selenium + IISExpress

    The goal of this blog entry is to explain how you can create integration tests for ASP.NET MVC applications by using a combination of Selenium WebDriver and IISExpress. Integration tests are useful when you want to test an entire user story. For example, you might want to test whether a user can successfully add an item to a shopping cart. Adding an item to a shopping cart might require the execution of C# code, database code, and JavaScript code. Using an integration test, you can verify t...

    I hate code samples in technical books! No seriously, this is bile I’m not afraid to give a permalink to (nor am I afraid to end a sentence with a preposition, so there!). Even the shortest code samples are a pain to type in. And if they show anything reasonably interesting, they’re probably too long to type in. Of course, nobody actually types in the sample code, they grab the code from the companion CD (blech!) or download zip files containing the code from the companion website. With ...

    When you create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 project, the new project wizard dialog contains several options for different MVC project templates: Empty Internet Application Intranet Application (new in the April 2011 Tools update) There’s a lot of white space in that dialog. To many of you, all that unsullied territory smells like opportunity. When I talk about this dialog, I go to great pains to tell folks that, yes!, you too can extend that dialog and add your own project templates in there...

    Over the past couple of years, I’ve written several blog posts on ASP.NET Routing where I provided various extensions to routing. Typically such blog posts included a zip download of the binaries and source code to allow readers to easily try out the code. But that’s always been a real pain and most people don’t bother. But now, there’s a better way to share such code. Moving forward, I’ll be using NuGet packages as a means of sharing my code samples. In the case of my routing extensions, ...
