    Performance Testing Part I – Modeling, Implementing, and Executing Performance Tests

    Performance testing goals seek to answer questions regarding server processing, and client response times for a single user. The primary goal of performance testing is to tune the system to achieve maximum performance, [e.g. execute a given amount of work (transactions) in the least amount of time (transactions per second (TPS)].  Test Studio, from Telerik, has long been capable of performance testing. Any Test Studio functional test can also be used as a performance test. To execute a performance test in Test Studio, there are just three steps: 1) Create or select an existing web functional test that satisfies ...

    Comparison of RadControls for Windows Phone and the Windows Phone Toolkit.

    Overview RadControls for Windows Phone 7 completes the missing controls and functionalities from the UI Toolbox for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone Toolkit. We not only offer controls not found in those resources, but we build upon existing controls they have created to offer our users a better experience. Our controls also aim to cut the development time by providing controls based on user feedback. Lastly, our controls are optimized for performance. A quick example of this is our RadDataBoundListBox compared to the ListBox offered in the Toolkit. Our control can handle hundreds of thousands of records without performance degradation....
