How to Increase build agent execution time? (VSTS)
When running long running tests (perhaps UI tests with Selenium)
I got this error:
The job running on agent xAgentNamex has exceeded the maximum execution time of 01:00:00.
The default timeout for VSTS Agent is 60 minutes.
The solution was to increase Build job timeout in minutes, under settings of build definition in the VSTS dashboard.

BenchmarkDotNet
Benchmarking is really hard (especially microbenchmarking), you can easily make a mistake during performance measurements. BenchmarkDotNet will protect you from the common pitfalls (even for experienced developers) because it does all the dirty work for you: it generates an isolated project per each benchmark method, does several launches of this project, run multiple iterations of the method (include warm-up), and so on. Usually, you even shouldn’t care about a number of iterations because BenchmarkDotNet chooses it automatically to achieve the requested level of precision.

WFetch – Simple Microsoft Tool for troubleshooting HTTP connections
Wfetch is originally part of the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools.
It can be used to troubleshoot http redirects, http status codes etc.
This simple but powerful testing tool is a must-have for any system administrator or Web site manager. Wfetch’s simple GUI offers easy input and clear output to test almost any Web host. Don’t expect a manual or clear failure information. This tool was released for expert users.Operating Wfetch is actually very simple, providing you understand Web functions such as Get, Put, Head, Trace, Post, and others. It’s a mere matter of using a few pull-downs, entering some simple text and pressing Go. The trick comes when users must interpret the Log Output from their commands. If Get HTTP/1.1\r\n makes sense, this app was written for you. The utility offers numerous authentication and connection features. Additional commands make it easy to copy and paste text from the output log file.Wfetch is not secure as it stores user names and passwords in plain text. Nevertheless, it is an invaluable freeware tool for any user looking to diagnosis certain connection problems.
