Microsoft is proud to announce the external launch of the Microsoft Tester Center at STAR West 2007 in Anaheim. The Tester Center is designed to promote the testing discipline, showcase testing expertise, and help build a robust community of testers on MSDN.  The site will offer tips on testing practices, short whiteboard videos on targeted testing techniques and strategies, stories from testers, tester spotlights, technical articles, a test forum, and much more. The site is located at http://msdn.com/testercenter. Passionate testers from all over Microsoft have contacted tcsubmit@microsoft.com   to become more involved in this, first of its kind, MSDN site dedicated to the testing discipline. Thanks to sponsorship efforts from the Visual Studio Team System product unit and MSDN, we are now ready to broaden the audience to the testing community worldwide.

 

Many thanks to the Tester Center Virtual Team, Microsoft Test Leadership Team, Microsoft Engineering Excellence, Microsoft Test Architect Group, MSDN, Visual Studio Team System product unit and Visual Studio Team System Test Edition team for working diligently over the last six months to make this concept a reality.

 

Visit the site and join the budding community of testers. Help make our effort a success by forwarding our link to the testers in your world and by sharing your ideas, experiences, content and blogs by emailing tcsubmit@microsoft.com.

A brief introduction of IE Developer Toolbar

For ASP.NET developper, you may be curious about how to compose the code in ASP.NET pages to find the target controls.

 

To find a control or any HTML element in IE, you need install the "IE Developer Toolbar" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e-2d5e1db91038&displaylang=en and then activate it from the toolbar "Tools->Toolbars->Explore Bar->IE Developer Toolbar".

 

Click the arrow icon at the upper left corner and then move the mouse over any control in the page, the HTML code representing the selected control will be displayed. Click the Unpin icon at the upper right corner, the IE developer tool page will be moved out of the current IE page.

Describe one flips programmer :)

Today I received one mail from one poor programmer, his expression is very interesting. He told me how to describe one flips programmer. This is his mail:

 

Axapta pushing calm programmer onto a Killing frenzy!

 

In past few days, after some time of everything going ok, Axapta just flips! Whenever I try to save something (actually when it tries to compile) I get the dreaded Vista window: "Microsoft Dynamics AX client has stopped working". Restarting the computer does NOT solve the problem. Last time it happened, it just started working all of a sudden after almost taking me to the "get a machinegun and kill everybody on campus" state.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks for your email. I am in business trip  [in Beijing] [until 30th Spe], limited email access and response slowly.
