VS 2010 introduced a surprise for us – the deployment feature is disabled by default. Let me explain with this post how this hits everyone running coded tests and how to resolve the problem.

Here is a common scenario one can hit the problem with:

1. Add and record a WebUI Test Studio test in Visual Studio 2010.

2. Convert a step to code.

3. Go to Test View and run the test – you may get an error similar to the following one:

As you may note VS looks for the .dll in the TestResults and it’s Out ...

Recently, Telerik released a new and improved version of the Telerik CAB Enabling Kit (TCEK). This latest version now provides support for using the RadDock control as a workspace in your Composite UI Application Block (CAB) applications. Previously, only the old DockingManager control had been supported. In this blog entry, I will show you how to begin using the RadDock as a workspace in your applications through the use of the newly updated RadDockableWorkspace.

In case you are new to CAB/SCSF or the TCEK - I highly recommend reading through my older series of blogs. You can access the introduction ...

In Q2, we enabled a great feature in WebUI Test Studio that many customers have been asking for: The ability to export an automated test case including storyboard images into a document format that can be published/printed or sent to others.

Before going into how to generate such documentation in WebUI Test Studio, I would like to take a moment and talk a little about some of the usage scenarios for this feature.

• Document your test scenarios in a format that can be easily shared with your teammates to help review and communicate test coverage.
• Document your application business requirements. ...

With the release of Q2 (coming in couple of weeks), our WebUI Test Studio will enable customers to build image verifications against specific elements on their pages. Image verification can be used to verify exact visual matches for both HTML pages and Silverlight applications.

To record an Image Verification step in WebUI Test Studio, follow the steps below:

1. On the recorder toolbar, enable the highlighting surface:

2.  Hover over the element on the page that you wish to visually verify.

For this example, I have navigated to the google.com home page and I’m going to verify the Google logo ...

In Part 1 we looked at how we can use WebUI Test Studio’s Execution engine to execute tests either using an individual test or a group of test within a test list.  In Part 2, we are going to look at how we can take the results of our execution and publish them to a non-default location.

Let’s take a look at the first two options for results publishing, out=[folder path] and root=[folder path].

The out=[folder path] option allows us to copy our results file to any directory on our computer.  For example, let’s say that we multiple projects ...

WebUI Test Studio comes with two options for test execution.  The first is the result of our tight integration with Visual Studio and uses MSTest.exe.  The second, and the subject of this post, is the built-in execution engine ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In this post we will look at all the command line options for the ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In Part 1 we will look at the two execution command line options as well as how to simplify working with the command prompt.  Part 2 will be dedicated to showing the flexibility of the execution engine by showing the results publishing options.

The ArtOfTest.Runner.exe is ...
