Chapter 15. Testing and Debugging ASP.NET AJAX Applications
Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX Framework provides a solid foundation for building efficient and high-performance Web-based applications that can enhance the overall end user experience. No matter how good a development platform is, however, bugs and other issues can be introduced by developers and triggered by end users. Knowing how to quickly debug ASP.NET AJAX applications can greatly increase your productivity as a developer and reduce the amount of frustration experienced while tracking down issues.
In this chapter you'll be introduced to debug functionality available in the ASP.NET AJAX script library that can be used to make assertions and perform tracing operations. You'll also learn about several different debugging techniques available in Visual Studio 2008, Internet Explorer, and Firefox that can simplify the process of debugging ASP.NET AJAX applications. Finally, you'll learn how to use different tools to intercept and view request and response messages, to more easily track down data issues and monitor AJAX request and response message sizes.
