Exporting Microsoft Test Manager Test Results to Word

With the release of Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft introduced a new Visual Studio version called Microsoft Visual Studio Test Professional 2010. This version includes a tool called Microsoft Test Manager that is also a part of the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate installation.

Although it is a really great tool that simplifies the work of the tester a lot, it still has some missing features. One of the areas where it lacks in functionality is reporting. There is no easy way to export the tests, test results, and so on in an easy to use format. Luckily there is a tool named Test Scribe  that allows you to see Test Plan, Test Results, Test Suites, Test Cases, Test Configurations, Test Settings in a Word document which you can also print out.

If you didn’t install it yet, go do that first.

Using Test Scribe

  • Open Microsoft Test Manager
  • Click on the Testing Center dropdown
  • A new option Tools is added to the drop down list. Select it.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
