The agile manifesto says "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" and I completely agree, the processes and tools won't turn your project into a success story, the individuals and interactions will. But what if you're already satisfied with the individuals and interactions and you're starting to look for how you could make your life easier. And here comes the role of the tools - to bring as less overhead as possible and at the same time help you meet your goals easier. That's what I was looking for when I decided to give BDD a try.

Although I ended my Selenium adventure a few months ago, there is a final topic I’d like to cover here. This one completes my set of posts concerning RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX test automation with Selenium. The tool, the Telerik ASP.NET QA team relied on during the past couple of years, helped us catch in time most of the bugs in RadControls that never came into production! A curios fact here is that Selenium 1.0 official release is finally coming soon after many years of development! Check out the recent post on Selenium blog announcing the exciting news. ...

Taking vacation is always nice, but that first day back in the office can be a bit overwhelming. Hundreds of emails to wade through, multiple projects needing attention, and that nagging feeling of being completely out of the loop. But I love this job and it’s good to be back. I spent the last two weeks on vacation due to the birth of my son.

When you first add the RadGridView to your WPF application you will undoubtedly notice the section at the top of the control which I have outlined in red.  This area is officially called the GridViewGroupPanel, but I am just going to call it the Group Panel to save myself some typing.  The Group Panel allows the user to drag and drop column headers into the panel in order to group the data in the RadGridView at runtime.  Below you will see that I have grouped my data by the "Make" column in my grid of vehicles. Additionally, the sort order of...
