Test driven development


More than last 12 months I am a great sponsor of the test driven development.  But how i become a great devotee of TDD is very much interesting. I was given task to restructure the existing system. This is one of the most important features in our system. When i seen the existing code it was in a malicious situation. Lots of unwanted, complex complicated loops. So before starting the reconstructing the whole team sit together and decided we are going to start something new. It might slow down the process initially but will produce the quality work.  Before witting the method we identified the feature's specification and requirements and exception handling phases. Then test cases  are  written  based on the requirement.  Then started working on the methods based on the test cases. First the entire test will fail because the method is written afterward.

Test method example

public void MethodWeAretesting_DescriptionOfInput_ReturnValueAndExpectedBehavior()

{

       // Prepare test environment (i.e.: create test data)

        ...

        // Calling method that we are testing

        ...    

       // Assertions

}

/// [TEST SCRIPT =test name ]

Public return type MethodName()

{



}

Once we written the methods we clearly given the indication which test method need to execute after making the change by giving /// [TEST SCRIPT =test name ]

Compiled Query- Improve the performance of Linq to Entity Query

Most of the small or medium IT firms are using the Entity framework for the Data Access layer (DAL). If we write a complex linq to Entity queries performance will always be an issue. But with the Compiled Query Performance can be improved. This below definitions are from MSDN and more details can be found on the MSDN Link that is at the end of this post           When you have an application that executes structurally similar queries many times in the Entity Framework, you can frequently increase performance by compiling the query one time and executing it several times with different parameters. For example, an application might have to retrieve all the QuoteRevision for a particular quotelineStatus, the quotelinestatus is specified at runtime. LINQ to Entities supports using compiled queries for this purpose.               The  compiled query class provides compilation and caching of queries for reuse . Co...

Sql Server Internals - Named Pipes

Named pipes enables clients applications to request a reliable and two way connection between the client application and Sql Server, across a network. A named pipe has a name which follows the UNC naming convention : \\Server\pipe\name The default names pipe for SQL server is :                 \\Server\pipe\sql\query A named instance would have a named pipe of                \\server\pipe\MSSQL$instancename\sql\query Early versions of SQL Server only provided Named Pipes. Named Pipes also allows for impersonation of a clients credentials. The feature is used by SQL server when using Linked Servers. The clients logon credentials are passed across to the Linked Server for authentication. Named Pipes can operate over TCP/IP, NETBEUI or IPX as it indirectly relies on the Common Internet Files Sytems
