    Testing RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax with Watir – How easy it is

    Today was my first attempt at writing tests for RadControls with Watir and was surprised how easy it is. I found over the internet a good article on how to test ASP.NET applications using Watir and also referred to the Hristo Deshev’s blog post about Automating Complex JavaScript-rich Controls with Watir. If you use the approach described in it and create a watir_telerik_extensions.rb file, you will be able to create tests very quickly. See below a few tests about RadMenu, RadComboBox and RadTreeView which I have created in minutes: 1. This is a RadComboBox test which opens the drop down ...

    UI Automation Testing with UIA Verify

    As I mentioned in my previous post “UI Automation/Accessibility in Silverlight 2, tools and resources summary”, UIA Verify is one of the current options for UI Automation testing of controls and applications. The tool was published by the Microsoft UI Automation team about 7 months ago and according to the release page, it was downloaded about thousand of times so far. Still, I didn’t find any public articles regarding its advantages not because the tool is useless, quite the opposite!

My main responsibilities are to build the test strategy, organize the work in all terms of quality assurance and help the team of talented developers release a great suite of Silverlight controls. You have probably already seen the latest nice ...

    I'm back again, what comes next?

    Yeah, I know, it's been quite some time since my last post. The ideas keep coming though and I’ve just realized there is no better time for a QA to blog than ... the summer. Do you know why? Well, just because of the summer time! You know, devs are humans too and they also need to rest a bit. ;) I can at least stop bugging around for a while and post some nice, interesting content. I'm afraid the list of ideas for my future posts is already quite long. However, since I'd like to share the most fascinating ...

    Web components styling tests automation, cross-browser solution

    It’s been quite some time since my last post concerning the RadControls automation tests developed with Selenium. We still have a lot to share about our Selenium adventure, which could help those, interested in similar solutions. First of all, I believe you are unable to completely verify the visual appearance of your Web application via automated tests. There is no way you can skip the manual check if the app “looks” good and has no visual glitches anywhere. Still, the client-side styling tests automation can be considered to be the first step for the necessary web page appearance verification. I ...
