Productivity: Debugging

I’ve been working on several exciting enhancements since I moved to develop Fiddler full-time last month. Major work is underway to improve Fiddler and the Fiddler website, based in part on feedback we’ve received from the poll on the Fiddler homepage.In today’s post, I’d like to quickly point out a few minor improvements in the current release version that you might have overlooked.Composer ImprovementsFiddler’s Composer enables you to create and issue a HTTP(S) request, either from scratch, or by dragging in a prior request from the Web Sessions list. The Composer is especially useful for testing ...

I wanted to personally thank the entire Fiddler community for the overwhelming response to last week’s announcement that Telerik has acquired Fiddler. The feedback has been just amazing – in just a week Twitter has absolutely blown up and our survey asking for your input has already received more than 1400 responses (keep an eye out for a future post based on those responses)! If it wasn’t obvious before just how important Fiddler is to the community, here a few or my personal favorites.  But don’t take my word for it, feel free to see the Tweets for yourself or read ...

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 ...

Tests fail. Sometimes it’s a bug, sometimes it’s an expected system change. You need to fix those failures! Here’s a quick walk through of one easy way to resolve test failures using the visual debugger. (You can find additional information here in our documentation, too!)

Telerik’s TeamPulse is a terrific project management tool for boosting communication in and between projects. We’re constantly looking for ways to better integrate Test Studio with TeamPulse to clearly communicate quality metrics around your automated tests back to the projects. We’ve had integration tying tests to acceptance criteria in TeamPulse for some time, but with Test Studio’s 2012 R1 release we’ve kicked up the integration another notch: You can now push bug reports from Test Studio directly to your TeamPulse projects from anywhere you can examine a failing test: the test explorer, test results calendar, or test list details.
