Testing Azure application related to communications

Question

I am a solution tester and for the first time I will be testing the application which will be hosted in cloud.

Can I get some guidelines on how to start the testing?

by the way the application is not web based and it relates to the communication methods?

Thanks,

Anand.

Hi,

Can you please provide more information about the application you want to test?

If app is not web based then is it worker role? What do you mean by communication methods?

Answer 3

Thanks for your response.

when I meant communication methods they are Email & SMS sent from a the system to users regarding any information.

The application is developed on C#.

Yes you were right about the worker role. when the messages are sent from the system they are queued and then stored in container where the worker role/s are picked up for processing.

Can you also please tell me about how the testing can be on Blobs,worker roels, tables etc...?

Hope with this information, you can help me testing my application.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can test worker role by writing some test client suitable to your requirement. Start up exmaple is mentioned on this link - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh285885

About storage services I think you just might want to verify whether data is getting added properly in Queue and table storage. So when you run your application and perform specific operation, you can browse through the tables and queues to check the data validity by using Cloud Storage Studio.

Free cloud storage studio can be found on - http://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/

Hope it helps.
