You might already be familiar with this article. It will tell you how to access your results from code so that you can do whatever you like with them (tweet them, use them to build up a custom dashboard, post them on Facebook etc.). But that's just for functional test.

What about  Performance testing? Can you access your Performance data from a coded snippet? 

Yes, you can.

It's slightly more complex. Performance results are not available immediately after a test has finished running. Hench you won't be able to access them from the OnAfterTestCompleted (reference). Instead you have to access ...

Using safe, generic accounts for testing is a boon; however, sometimes that’s simply not possible. Corporate policies may prevent “fake” accounts, or perhaps the test accounts have access to sensitive areas. In these cases it’s critical you’re able to secure the logon credentials.

Test Studio’s Service Pack 2 for our 2012 R1 release now enables you to securely encrypt passwords in your tests with just a simple click.

Here’s how a test logging on to our demo app looks. You can see the password is stored in clear text in the test:

The password is also stored in clear text ...

I’ll be at PNSQC in Portland, Oregon from 8-10 October, 2012. I’m very excited to be attending – my paper on “Are We Failing at UI Automation?” was selected by the conference, so I’ll be hosting a session to discuss my points about the topic.

The PNSQC folks are still offering up a $350 Early Bird discount which you can take advantage of here.

Please drop me a line if you’re going to be attending. I’d love to meet up and talk testing!

You can tell the VS team has an appreciation for Test Studio because they’ve went with our color scheme for the VS 2012’s artwork:

As you may already know Visual Studio 2012 is here. And the answer to the question you’re probably asking yourself is:

“Yes, Telerik’s Test Studio fully integrates with Visual Studio 2012”

That’s right – VS 2012 is now officially part of the Test Studio-integrated family (alongside VS 2008 and VS 2010). Hooray!

Testing-wise the major change in Visual Studio 2012 is that Test View is gone. Instead we have the Test Explorer. We recommend that you checkout this...

Test Studio’s Load feature is seeing some lightning-fast evolution these days. New things are added, existing things are improved – all based on customer feedback.

Load testing has been around since the R1 release in April. In other words not very long. But things have been dynamic: the SP1 release re-worked the result output making it much more responsive. Next we introduced data-binding into the mix. And now with the latest SP2 release of R1 again we add more neat things.

First off: the result visualization is improved. You can filter the results for your separate Load agents which wasn’t ...

So test away! Completely free of charge, and yes, downloadable from the App Store!

Tests fail. Sometimes it’s a bug, sometimes it’s an expected system change. You need to fix those failures!

Here’s a quick walk through of one easy way to resolve test failures using the visual debugger. (You can find additional information here in our documentation, too!)

First, open up the Quick Execution Options dialog from the main ribbon panel and select On All Errors for the auto-pause option. (You could select other options as well; I simply default to All Errors when debugging failing tests.)

The UI is nearly identical if you’re using Test Studio’s plugin for Visual Studio; the ...
