Test Driven Development (TDD)

Great webinar today on Nunit in C# for the Test Driven Development (TDD) by Pragmatic Works.

It is interesting to see the good things that people use that help in development of applications. Even though I have been programing for years, I have not yet adopted the Unit Testing. Sometimes I feel like shouting at myself as to why not, but reality of the matter is, most of the legacy classic ASP application that I work on, does not really has room for elaborate rewrite of code. When ever I get chance to rewrite partial function code, I try my best to upgrade it but obviously time is the issue and also if a solution is working, no one wants to spend tons of money just to replicate the apps and sub-apps to another programing language or newer model.

The old mantra of don't fix it if it isn't broke comes into play all the time and I feel strange because of that, as to why I haven't used the Unit Testing in my code when functions start to have issues.

I wish there was a better set of options of doing the sales pitch for new upgrades, but sadly the new upgrades look good to talk about but does not translate into the justification for all the expenses.

One of these days, I guess I can finally say I am done with the classic ASP and look forward to the future with automated testing by Test Driven Development of my code.

Completed UiPath - RPA Developer Advance Training

After a month of training, with late nights and weekends I have completed the UiPath RPA Developer Advance Training. The Level 1 Foundation Training pretty much covered all the basics of Desktop studio and workflows, only draw back was I started with the default foundation course which was for 2016, and all document reference links where pointing to 2016 version. I didn't understand it during the foundation training and kept switching to 2018 version document/page. Only after completing the Foundation course that I realized, I was suppose to have started with the 2018 version of Level 1 Foundation Training, but as it was optional I didn't have to retake the 2018 version, the 2016 was good enough for moving to level 2. The Level 2 Orchestrator 2018.3 Training as good. It gave good understanding of Queue's, Jobs, and schedules and I was able to complete the level two much faster then the level 1. The Level 3 UiPath Advanced Training was bit tough as it involved the a

KB 294807 - IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe

Resolved issue today of IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe by deleting "Windows Temp" folder files. We used Cygwin to customize some permissions of "Windows Temp" folder and after few hours the website stopped working. The search online was giving all kinds of different solution except what I was looking for. I was hoping the stackoverflow will have answers but even this post didn't cover the issue I was running into. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15302080/fastcgi-500-failure Restarting the IIS didn't work, but deleting temp files cleared the issue, but now the problem is how long before the site will go down again? Hope the issue is resolved for ever, if not; I will update this post later.
