    Searching in Windows 8

    Windows 8 Store Applications can take advantage of the shared “Charms” that you see when you swipe in from the right edge of your Windows 8 device (or press Win-C).  The top charm is searching and it provides tremendous functionality at relatively little programming effort. When you click search Windows 8 assumes you want to search the current application if that application has registered a Search “contract.”  If it has not, Windows 8 will assume you want to search the applications, as shown in the figure (click on the figure for full size). In any case, every program that implements a search contract...

    This one is kind of advanced. You can add a coded step to your test (or convert  an existing step to code). When you do that - a so-called "code-behind file" is generated.

    Here we grow again. Telerik acquires Fiddler. What’s next?

    We have some very exciting news to share with the Telerik community.  Telerik has just acquired Fiddler!  Even more exciting is that Fiddler’s brilliant creator Eric Lawrence will come over from Microsoft to join the team fulltime.  For those of you who don’t know, Fiddler is a web debugging proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer or device and the Internet. In other words, it is an essential tool for any web, desktop or mobile developer.  The popularity and sophistication of Fiddler is hugely impressive considering this has been Eric's informal side project for more than 8 years.  With Eric joining the team ...
