Parallel Testing in a Selenium Grid with VSTS. July 28, 2016. There are several different types of test unit tests, functional test, load tests and so on. Generally, unit tests are the easiest to implement and have a high return on investment. Conversely, UI automation tests tend to be incredibly fragile, hard to maintain and don’t always deliver a huge amount of value. However, if you carefully design a good UI automation framework (especially for web . Aurelia, Karma and More VS Debugging Goodness.

Aurelia: Object Binding Without Dirty Checking
http://www.colinsalmcorner.com/post/aurelia-object-binding-without-dirty-checking
Aurelia: Object Binding Without Dirty Checking. March 23, 2015. Over the past few weeks I have been developing a Web UI using Aurelia. It’s really well thought out though it’s got a steep learning curve at the moment since the documentation is still very sparse. Of course it hasn’t officially released yet, so that’s understandable!
