Did you miss our first-ever webinar on the new Load Test functionality we just released in Test Studio 2012 R1?

Fear not! We’ve just uploaded a recording of the webinar to Telerik TV. I hope you find it useful and informative!

If you’re not already using Test Studio, why not go grab a fully functional trial download?

Last week I wrote a quick summary of the Telerik Testing Summit.

I’m happy to announce we’ve got a short video posted up showing some of the highlights of the discussions during the first day of the conference:

Are you completely new to functional web testing? Don’t know where to get started? If so, please mark off your calendar for a three day series of webinars June 26th, 27th, and 28th. I’ll be hosting these webinars from 11AM – 12PM Eastern US.

This series is targeted to individuals or teams just getting started with web automation—although more experienced folks may learn a few things too!

I’m still fleshing out the agenda and content, but here’s a few of the things you can look forward to learning about:

• Automation’s purpose/fit in your overall quality and testing strategy
• What a ...

Telerik’s TeamPulse is a terrific project management tool for boosting communication in and between projects. We’re constantly looking for ways to better integrate Test Studio with TeamPulse to clearly communicate quality metrics around your automated tests back to the projects.

We’ve had integration tying tests to acceptance criteria in TeamPulse for some time, but with Test Studio’s 2012 R1 release we’ve kicked up the integration another notch: You can now push bug reports from Test Studio directly to your TeamPulse projects from anywhere you can examine a failing test: the test explorer, test results calendar, or test list details.

Join us Wednesday, 16 May, at 11am US Eastern time, to learn how Test Studio’s performance testing and just-released load testing features can help you detect bottlenecks in your system’s performance and answer business-critical questions about your site’s ability to handle large amounts of traffic.

This webinar will focus solely on Test Studio’s Performance and Load Testing features. We’ll be drilling down in to some great specifics of how these features can help you respond to questions from management like “Will our site be able to support traffic after this new product’s launch?” and “Are our customers happy when ...

Are you working with iOS applications? Do you need to get some automated tests around your native (UIKit), web, or hybrid applications?

Have a look at Test Studio for iOS! I’ve written about it beforehand, and tomorrow I’ll be hosting a webinar giving an introduction to our great testing tool for apps on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches.

I’ll show you how to set up your Xcode projects, and run through a few highlights of working with Test Studio for iOS. The webinar is at 11AM Eastern US.

If you were following Twitter last this last weekend (4 and 5 May) you may have seen a number of Tweets tagged with #TelSum. That was the Telerik Testing Summit, a peer conference held in Austin, Texas. Telerik welcomed a number of thought leaders in the testing and software industry to Austin, Texas, for two days of discussions on the state of software development. More importantly, we as a group were focused on what we could do to try and improve things.

Telerik was represented by myself and Phil Sams, plus Holly Bertoncini, our event organizer. Joining us ...

UPDATED: I goofed and listed Quality Center as an option for pushing bug reports to—but we only integrate bugs with TeamPulse and Team Foundation Server.

As much as I love them, automated tests (be they functional, integration, or unit) aren’t the end-all-be-all for your testing approach. Exploratory testing, particularly for any system of any consequence, is a critical part of your overall “Deliver Great Stuff!” strategy.

Getting your team freed up from repetitive regression testing empowers them to put their brains to use as they poke around the corners of your system. Exploratory testing gives you tremendous value as your ...

I and four other Telerikers (Holly, May, Dan, and Jasper) just returned back to our respective homes after a few days at StarEast. Our booth at StarEast was busy the entire time!

We all had an extremely productive trip in a great many ways. Holly’s our organizer extraordinaire, May (our UX dev) got a lot of insight to how our users see the product, Jasper had many conversations with users about our feature set and potential new features, and Dan spent a lot of time talking with folks to introduce them to the awesomeness that is ...

It’s that time of the year: the latest, greatest release of Telerik’s Test Studio is due out Wednesday, 11 April!

We’ve got a number of great features lined up for this release: integrated bug tracking, exploratory testing tooling, better support for HTML controls, and of course, the big feature: load testing!

Grab the release bits tomorrow, but be sure to stop by the Release webinar on Wednesday, 25 April at 11AM Eastern US. You’ll need to register first, but there are plenty of spaces!

Load testing can be a complex, intimidating subject. If you’d like some more information, I ...
