SQL load testing tool

Jeff Beehler’s Blog : Rangers ship SQL load testing tool

This tool takes a SQL Profiler trace file and generates a unit test that replays the same sequence of database calls found in the trace file. The unit test is designed to be used in a Visual Studio Load Test.

This is pretty cool! It’s a nice way of making sure you don’t screw up anything and create performance guidance.

I’m volunteering for translation of TSWA to Norwegian.

Ozzie Rules Blogging : 3 More of the Rosario Specifications posted

Pretty cool! I like the fact that they (Microsoft) are actually showing us their specs! That’s just awesome! Charles asked for feedback on whether we wanted to see more spec like this or not; my answer is a simple yes. It’s awesome to see how Microsoft does this and to see what you guys are thinking. How will VSTS/TFS look/feel/act in the near future? All good stuff!

As for the features; The bug submission feature doesn’t really attract me all that much, but it looks like a nice feature though. The linking spec was just too much for me, I lost track after like 3 minutes of reading. Looking forward to a new drop of Rosario CTPs to test though. The e-mail feature looks nice, especially when paired with TSWA. Not sure how I feel about the requirement to use Outlook though… Could this be done in a more open fashion?

Something just dawned on me; why aren’t WI queries available as RSS feeds? That would be an awesome feature!

Data, dude!

Looking forward to the day Microsoft implements Oracle support in Data Dude, so we can use it to. Or, even better, we drop Oracle support all together!
