Emulators

There will be another UI element in DevRiot command set. A combo box that will allow the user which emulators are available to use given the current project. If a project is a smartphone one, then only smartphone SDK emulators will populate the combo box.

Moving to VS 2008

Adding support to the different devices that exist in the Compact and Micro Frameworks is forcing us to move development to VS 2008 from VS 2005 it seems a doable task in a short period of time :-}

Starting on .Net Compact and Micro Frameworks!

This afternoon we started the wiring of DevRiot to the .Net Compact and Micro Framework emulators.

Some considerations:

• The execution speed will not be as good as DevRiot is on the Desktop Framework. Those are resource constrained frameworks.
• There will be an smaller amount of threads available to the Load & Stress Engine.
• The maximum number of tests will not be affected.

Feature complete!!

Finally, the feature set that is to be included in DevRiot for .Net is complete and stable. Next in line comes the installer and the delivery logic.

We are considering delivering a double plug-in . The users will install a Visual Studio add-in that will download DevRiot's engine. This way fixes will delivered easily.

This beta will support only Desktop Framework and unit testing. GUI testing, since it depends more on the running device, will be delivered at a later time when support for Compact and Micro Frameworks is polished.

A demo video will follow soon.
