    Q1’11 Pre-Release Series: Coded UI Testing, RadWizard, and fast TreeView coming to Telerik Windows Forms

    Q1'11will definitely be huge for RadControls for WinForms!

The automation allows developers to access and manipulate all UI elements in applications that support it (if you need ASP.NET, Silverlight and [soon] WPF test automation, check out Telerik WebUI Test Studio).
