Discussion On Testing An Application (both Windows And Web Application)
Feb 3, 2010
After doing much programming, I came to know that testing and debugging are the most difficult and time-consuming phase of program development. User experience is imperative to an application's success, so ensuring the proper functionality of each feature is important. This discussion is to provide a step-by-step process that will help us to test our applications. It shall present testing best practices and highlight the common issues to avoid.There are many tools available for testing. I know some of them which I am going to mention below. I request msdn.com team and members to reply to this post and add some more points or tools that will help us.
a. Make sure design and page layout is consistent
b. Make sure there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes
c. Make sure the messages (alert, error, etc) are having no spelling or grammatical mistakes and are consistent.
Validate Functionality
a. Make sure all the form validations are done correctly. A program that is not robust will fail if you try wrong inputs like keeping the fields blank, inputting characters in place of numerics, -ve values where +ve is expected, large number of characters, etc.
b. Make sure the functionality desired from the page is complete in all aspects. For example, a page that is supposed to insert/update employee details does so correctly.
Prepare a test case document where you document test.In this document you simply write down the steps that you will perform to execute a test case, and results of test case execution. Complete test cases for the entire application in a similar manner.

I want a sure-shot method to test if the application was run via the UAC box and has full administrative rights. Earlier, I thought of making a folder in C:Windows for testing but running it on other computers proved to be a failure!
The UAC box provides all administrative rights to the computer to do anything(including making folders and creating files in places which needs there rights) and also makes sure that any child program so called or created also does have the same rights as the parent.Is there a sure-shot way to test if my application has been provided all the administrative rights that I can maximum get by the user while running the application or not? If yes, I would be glad to have to piece of code-work!

So although we have plenty of keys from our subscription, to minimize tracking and confusion we just want to use2 or them over and over as we install, test, extended test, wipe and reload. Eventually we would have to recycle any way. Much of this will be scripted /automated and we were wondering what kind of problems we will run into for the activation cycle (human intervention required, phone call, etc.) Mostly working on Win7 (all versions) but still need to do some Vista and even XP.

I am currently creating an application which monitors any errors that occur in the other applications I have developed.
One thing that I want to try and do is add a sort of discussion thread into the form, so this allows for each member of IT to add comments/notes about the error that occurred.
Normally I would just use a DataGridView or a ListView, but I would like to have the capability for the comments/notes to be multi-lined so that the user can see what has been written without having to scroll sideways.

I have recently finished a console application and deployed it to several computers on our network for testing. As it is just an EXE a copied to the hard drives of selected computers for now. When the app is launched it writes info to an sql DB so I always know which computers it is on.
During the past few weeks I have modified this app at least 6 times (improvements, adjustments, etc)
It is a paint to keep going back to the computers to update it with the new version, and getting mixed up which version i am on - LOL I am looking for advice on how I would go about doing this automatically, for example, it would be cool if I just had to put an updated file in a repositry and clients would use this to update.
In Visual Studio, when I view the properties of my application>assembly information - I can set a file version. Is it possible to extract this info and store it in a variable? I would like to dump the in my DB. Also I could then possibly compare the file version of the launched app against an updated file in a network share folder.

I am in the process of developing a messaging framework for a windows application that sends messages to a java application. To be precise when the win app wants to send a message it simply drops the message in a common database table which will be picked up by the java app. The windows application is deployed across 10 application servers (10 instances) over citrix for load balancing.Each instance of the application is capable of sending a message to the java application and each of these messages should have a unique id. From my end I need to make sure every message generated has to carry a unique id so that they can be identified when necessary. All the messages can be cleared every day or two.i am not quite sure about a best method of achieving this. Initially I wanted to create a static method that serves the next available id (incrementing the last id by 1). But this approach willn't guarantee unique number as the application starts only when at least one user is logged on. For e.g .On one server the app starts when a user logs in, he then sends a message and then the application stops when that user logs off. So when a next request for the app comes to that server a new instance will be started.

I currently have a simple crystal reports application which generates a crystal report and in the built in viewer provided by VS2005. There is a drop down where you can select options to change the criteria of the report. I wish to convert this app to a windows executable which will take all those select options and generates pdfs based on the crystal report. the executable will be triggered by windows task scheduler...or maybe command line app?
Obviously this will be somewhat of a re-write. What would be the best way to start this as? a crystal report application or a windows application.

I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?

The requirements are as follows:
1.) run the application at start up
2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.
Here's the full code I have right now (working! whahoooo)

I'm developing a web application that requires the user to log in using forms authentication. inside the webpage you need to download a desktop application that requires to login to the same system too. Is there a way to transfer the current logged credentials from the web application to the windows desktop application without need to login again?. Both applications shares a Login object from an vb.net interface.I tried to save the IP address in the Database but that don't work for me because the website needs to be accessed inside and/or outside of the company and the user cannot login twice in different machines.

My boss gave me an MS Access application that was developed by our former colleague. He wants me to convert that application to VB.Net Windows form application. I went through the MS Access Application. It contains tables, queries, forms, reports and macros. I could not find the programming (Where is the code written in MS Access?). My boss wants the windows application to be same as the MS Access Application (both in design and logic). I don't how will i develop the windows form. How can I achieve this?

i am wondering if there are any case studies / white papers available comparing web applications to remote desktop applications on running on comparable hardware? What I am trying to get at is if a web application can support more users, as far as hardware resources go, than the same windows based application running on terminal services?
