    Test Results Management and Analysis in WebUI Test Studio QA Edition

    I started the series of blog posts on the new QA Edition of WebUI Test Studio 2010 with the Test List Management. In the current article I’m describing the Test Results Management and Analysis capabilities of the brand-new standalone tool. The Result View The test list execution in the QA Edition produces the objects we call Run Results. One can review and manage those results in the Results View:   The Results View in the Standalone represents the run results via RadScheduler. Once you execute your test list we switch to the Results View adding the new result into ...

    Task-It is a sample app (for task management) that I've developed in Silverlight 4 using Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight. As the video and blog post series related to this application continues to grow, it's about time to post an index to the resources.

    Speaking at Project Management Day in Romania

My talk is titled “To Scrum or not to Scrum.” Agile project management and development methods are being adopted at many development shops.  After an introduction to the basics of  Agile and Scrum like: project planning and estimation, the Scrum Master, team, product owner and burn down, and of course the daily Scrum, Stephen, a certified scrum master, will show many real world applications of the methodology drawn from his own experience. Negotiating with the business, estimation and team dynamics are all discussed as well as...

    Dynamically Loading Telerik Reports with MEF

    So I've been spending some time lately learning to use one of the powerful new features of .NET 4.0, the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). Using MEF, I thought it would be neat to create an application that allows you to dynamically load Telerik Reports from an assembly without having to recompile your application. Here is how I set it up. Contracts When setting this application up, I wanted to be able to define contracts on my reports so that I could import them into a ReportManager class when the application starts up. However, I didn't want my report objects to be ...

    Telerik’s new LINQ implementation and MySQL Part II: OData Service and Silverlight App in 30 seconds

    About a month or so ago I showed on this blog how to connect to MySQL using Telerik's new LINQ implementation.  Today I will show you how to take it one step further and build an OData service automatically using the Telerik Data Services Wizard. Just for fun, we will also automatically add a full CRUD Silverlight application that consumes the OData service. We’ll do this all in 30 seconds! To get started, you have to download MySQL 5.x and the MySQL Workbench and also, as my colleague Alexander Filipov at Telerik reminded me, make sure you install the MySQL .NET Connector, which is available here.  I like to use...
