C# Advent Calendar 2019 – Refactoring RestSharp Sample Tests to Make Them More Maintainable

December 15, 2019 by Hilary

I’m excited to participate in the third C# Advent Calendar (my 2017 post was on combining UI and API automation with RestSharp and Selenium, and my 2018 post was about using the NUnit TestCaseData feature with your RestSharp tests to put a ton of tests in one) – you can check out the rest of …

Being Prescribed Something I’m Allergic To aka Software Doesn’t Work

October 7, 2019 by Hilary

I should have gotten a colonoscopy today. My dad had colo-rectal cancer, my brother had some pre-cancerous stuff, so I thought it’d behoove me to get checked. But what, you ask, does this have to do with software and testing? Read on, my friend. Read on. About 10 years ago I found out that I’m …

June 2, 2019 by Hilary

Wow that was difficult! Back on May 6th, I announced the contest for a Pro Ministry of Testing Dojo membership.

Looking back on 2018, looking forward to 2019

January 2, 2019 by Hilary

It’s hard for me to think about 2018 with fondness. It went to shit before the halfway mark, and it’s really hard to think about any positives. But I know a lot of good stuff happened, I just need to take an actual look back rather than getting stuck in the bad shit (which is …

Implementing RestSharp in REST API automated tests

October 21, 2018 by Hilary

I have written before a few times about implementing automated tests for REST APIs using C# (here and here). In those posts, I’ve used a utility method to handle the actual sending of the HTTP request, and another one to read the response. These methods help to illustrate what our automated tests are actually doing. However, I …

TestBash Manchester Tweets!

October 13, 2018 by Hilary

I finally got around to putting all of my tweets from TestBash Manchester, and Test.Bash(); into a Twitter Moment! They are here: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1051140097486262272 Note that the Test.Bash(); section is a bit light because I was very nervous about my talk, and went to the quiet area to review/tweak it during some of the talks. I’m sorry …

Now that it’s done, I can finally blog about some of the stuff I did to create the workshop, and release an app for folks to practice with! Understanding The Problem I …

10th Annual Ann Arbor GiveCamp is just 2 weeks away!

August 29, 2018 by Hilary

I can’t believe it’s only 2 weeks until the 10th Ann Arbor GiveCamp! I’ve been volunteering with GiveCamp (Lansing and Ann Arbor) since 2010, and keep coming back because it is the BEST volunteer experience ever. Sure they’re long days, some hard problems to solve, things to prioritize, usually lots of caffeine and sugar (I …
