Azure Assured: pragmatic Azure testing

Let's face it – writing tests often feels like a boring, thankless task. It's the spinach of software development: we know it's good for us, but it doesn't always taste great...

Azure
Architecture
DevOps
Testing

In this demo-oriented session, you will learn how pragmatic testing, especially within the versatile Azure ecosystem, can evolve from a cumbersome task into an efficiency-enhancing practice.

I will focus on the aspect of testing for end-to-end applications deployed on Microsoft Azure. The focus will be on dissecting and mastering three critical facets of application testing: Unit Tests, Integration Tests, and Front-End Tests.

I will leverage SpecFlow, Xunit, Playwright and Azure Load Testing and demonstrate their value and how they can be integrated in your software release pipelines.
