DevLabs: Spec Explorer
About Spec Explorer Spec Explorer 2010 is a tool that extends Visual Studio for modeling software behavior, analyzing that behavior by graphical visualization, model checking; and generating standalone test code from models. Behavior is modeled in two ways: by writing rule machines in C# (with dynamic data-defined state spaces) and by defining scenarios as […]

DevLabs: STM.NET About Software Transactional Memory Software Transactional Memory (STM.NET) is a mechanism for efficient isolation of shared state. The programmer demarcates a region of code as operating within a transaction that is “atomic” and “isolated” from other transacted code running concurrently. Transactional memory is considered a promising technology by the academic community and […]

Automated White Box Testing for .NET Pex (Program EXploration) produces a traditional unit test suite with high code coverage. A parameterized unit test is simply a method that takes parameters, calls the code under test, and states assertions. Given a parameterized unit test written in a .NET language, Pex automatically produces a small unit […]

Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) Rx is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable collections. The “A” in “AJAX” stand for asynchronous, and indeed modern Web-based and Cloud-based applications are fundamentally asynchronous. In fact, Silverlight bans all blocking networking and threading operations. Asynchronous programming in by no means restricted to Web and […]
