The Region at MicrosoftRegionalDirectors.com

Welcome to The Region, global hub for the 140 software architects, developers, trainers and other professionals selected by Microsoft as Regional Directors. The first thing to know is that, while we’re officially recognized by Microsoft and often receive inside information about forthcoming technologies, we are completely independent.

And it's an experiment. We hope you find it useful. We hope we find it useful, too.

Getting code coverage for manual testing (or anything really)

Chris Menegay writes "The following describes how to get code coverage on .NET applications without having to actually run "tests" in the VSTS context.
