In the last post in my series on integration tests in Service Fabric I showed how it is possible to use the C# API of the Service Fabric SDK to deploy the test applications dynamically to the cluster. The approach showed also used a ServiceProxy client that was able to interact with the server-side hosted inside the cluster over Service Fabric remoting. The service proxy is responsible for querying all tests that are hosted inside the test application and then instruct the service to run them...

In my last post, I talked about me moving away from maintaining Machine.Specifications. Today I want to give you more insights into the decision process and what else I tried to save the project. When I was working for bbv Software Services AG, I was heavily using MSpec in multiple projects. I and also others in the company liked the lightweight syntax and the code-centric approach to specifications by example. We used it so much that it became together with SpecFlow one of our strategic open...

Today I read this blog post about how to simplify test data preparation. The author of the blog post states that setting up test data for tests is sometimes difficult and bloats up the test code, resulting in bad readability and maintainability. I completely agree with that. The author continues by solving this problem by loading the test data from a file and using it in the test. That minimizes the code needed to set-up the test data, but results in a disconnect between the test and the data...

Today we released the next version of Machine.Specifications. This release implements an important feature to move on in the future. We implemented a complete runner dependency abstraction. What does that mean? Let me take a step back.   The picture above shows the state of Machine.Specifications previous to V0.9.0. The console runner, the resharper runner, the TDnet runner and more were directly dependent upon the same Machine.Specifications version. This means when we release a new...

Last week I needed to analyze traffic form a Virtual Server hosted on a ESX machine. Normally this job would be a piece of cake if the server has his own NIC. But the way with an “old” hub or with an port mirror (port spanning) do not work with a vSwich (a virtual switch on the ESX server).
