Telerik and ArtOfTest Launch Industry’s First Record & Play Silverlight UI Testing Automation Solution

Waltham, MA, December 10, 2009Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, today announced general availability of its WebUI Test Studio 2.0, which pioneers the first advanced point and click Silverlight UI testing automation solution on the market. Developed in partnership with ArtOfTest, the expert in software quality assurance technologies, WebUI Test Studio significantly drives forward the field of advanced test automation technologies.


“WebUI Test Studio 2.0 represents the ultimate Silverlight automation toolset. WebUI Test Studio 2.0 is not only the first scriptless record & playback solution for Silverlight but also the first solution to offer a complete feature set for real LOB applications. Visual tree inspection, “on the spot” control detection and custom control support are critical features for anyone looking for a serious Silverlight automation solution.”, said Faris Sweis, ArtOfTest CTO.


Earlier this year Telerik partnered with ArtOfTest to offer version 1.0 of WebUI Test Studio which provided a completely scriptless test automation solution for rich, AJAX-based web applications. With the launch of version 2.0, WebUI Test Studio adds Silverlight test recording support specifically crafted to be simple to use and as feature rich as possible. With this release quality assurance professionals benefit from a UI object model that covers the complete list of UI elements in Silverlight, as well as a rich feature set with very little limitations. In addition to Silverlight automation, WebUI Test Studio also adds support for Telerik RadControls for Silverlight thanks to the integrated control translators.


Release 2.0 of Telerik’s WebUI Test Studio also features a new browser addition - Safari for Windows. Thanks to the product’s unique browser abstraction capabilities, QA professionals can now test against three major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari for Windows. Finally, WebUI Test Studio 2.0 includes a completely redesigned modern point-and-click user interface, drag-n-drop wizard, and a unique 3-D Elements Viewer to help users build verifications faster and easier.


“WebUI Test Studio has been designed to be the most robust web 2.0 application testing tool available for users with advanced testing needs after speaking with our customers and analyzing software testing industry trends,” said Svetozar Georgiev, Telerik CEO. “Silverlight software development is on the rise, and we are quite excited to be the first to offer a solution in the Silverlight UI testing field.”
