Web Testing (and load testing) SharePoint 2007 with Visual Studio 2008

Testing a SharePoint project is quite a tedious job – there are a lot of floating parts out there which make it complicated and time consuming. So everything which makes it a little easier is interesting. (Another reason for using it was to generate usage logs so that I could start working on my SharePoint extensions – Usage Statistics again) The last couple of days I have been looking at how I can use Visual Studio 2008 Test Edition to test SharePoint Server 2007 (this would also work with WSS 3.0).

To get you started there are some interesting sources out there on  Hello Its Liam:

• MOSS 2007 Testing Using Visual Studio Team System 2008 – shows how you can test uploading a document
• MOSS 2007 – Testing using Visual Studio Team System 2008 – Creating Team Sites
• MOSS 2007 – Visual Studio 2008 Testing (Search)
• MOSSS 2007 – Visual Studio 2008 Testing (Load Testing)
