    An Introduction to Performance Testing

    If you've been monitoring our roadmap or other announcement channels, you may have heard we’re bringing performance testing to Test Studio. This is a pretty exciting step for us, and it lets us bring some great functionality to help you continue to boost the quality of the software you’re delivering. I thought I’d take some time to lay down some of my opinions and experiences around performance testing in general as a bit of a lead in to later posts which will showcase our performance testing functionality. I’ll be writing a number of posts over the next few weeks to ...

    The AppStore Business Model is Dead

    Back in January, I argued that AppStores are not necessary as mobile economics mature and start to mimic web economics. Why do I need to download Skype from the AppStore when I can just go to Skype.com and do the same? Apple changed the rules and suddenly the AppStore looks like it may die a toddler. Back in February, new rules for advertising revenue and media content were implemented by Apple. If your app is in the app store and you generate revenue from a new customer, you have to give Apple 30% of the revenue of everything you sell.  As per Steve Jobs: "Our philosophy is simple -- when...

    Q3 2011 Telerik RadControls for WinForms Roadmap

    In our official major release Q2 2011 we introduced several new controls - RadPropertyGrid, RadListView and RadRichTextBox (Beta) - which nicely complemented the suite and responded to your requests.

Here are just a few of the many improvements that are about to come: RadGridView. Two new highly requested editors will allow the end...
