Improvement in the Test Explorer for Visual Studio v15.7

The next Visual Studio update (v15.7) will include an improvement in the Visual Studio Test Explorer that will allow us to see the best organized tests. So far we are seeing them like this:



And with the improvement we can see them organized in a hierarchical way, grouped by project, namespace, class and method. This will also facilitate the execution of a set of specific tests (for example if we only want to launch those of a specific class). This is how the explorer test will look in future versions:




Although in Visual Studio the test categories already existed (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286683.aspx), it is good news that by default we are grouped together in a much more practical way.


This information is based on the article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2018/03/21/visual-studio-2017-version-15-7-preview-2/ and since it is not a version in production, you might experience some changes.


Happy coding!!

Building Micro-Frontends with Single-Spa

Image
Introduction Micro-services architecture is becoming trendy since it is a suitable option many projects, specially those that are complex and we want to be able spilt our business logic into different services that can be built and deliver independently. In spite of the fact that micro-services architectures are more complex, they increase the resilience of your system and increase the time-to-market delivery, which can be crucial for many companies. But it is not all about services and backend. With the introduction of single page applications (SPAs), we can build fully-functional user interfaces that can work independently in the browser. And here we should ask ourselves the same questions as for backend applications: Is my SPA becoming a huge monolith? Would I like to deliver functional modules independently? If you using micro-services, is there a relation between my services and your UI? Do we want to have functional teams that can deliver new features (frontend+backend) independe...

AWS assuming role + MFA with pulumi (and other applications)

Image
Introduction In AWS, managing your IAM in a centralized account is a good practice, so then you can assume a role to access to other accounts without need of duplicating users. You can find more info about this approach in this article . In addition, for security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable MFA (Multi-factor Authentication), so you need a device to generate a temporary code to get access. In the image below it is showed how assume role with MFA works, but you also have an article about MFA in this link . This approach is really useful and most of the configuration can be automated with pulumi (or other providers like terraform or CloudFormation). And once it is configured, you can switch your role and get access to other accounts with a few clicks.  However, when it comes to external software such us pulumi, getting access assuming a role and using MFA might not be too straightforward. In this article we will see how this can be configured and how we can easily refr...

Managing snapshots for Amazon ElasticSearch with Dotnet Core Lambdas

Image
Introduction It is awesome to have some useful services like ElasticSearch managed by AWS , so you don't have to care about patching, monitoring, etc.  When it comes to backup management for indexes, Amazon ElasticSearch includes automated snapshots. Automated snapshots are only for cluster recovery. You can use them to restore your domain in the event of red cluster status or other data loss. Amazon ES stores automated snapshots in a preconfigured Amazon S3 bucket at no additional charge. In particular, if you are using a higher version than 5.3, Amazon ElasticSearch takes hourly automated snapshots and retains up to 336 of them for 14 days. However, this policy might not be enough if you need to keep your snapshots for a longer 15 days, or you need to take a snapshot to create a new cluster in another region, subnet, etc. If you have different requirements to manage your snapshots, you will have to work with manual snapshots. For this part, AWS does not offer a good managed exper...
