    The "Remove Script File" Button

    This one is kind of advanced. You can add a coded step to your test (or convert  an existing step to code). When you do that - a so-called "code-behind file" is generated. The file in question is simply a C#/VB class file that has the exact same name as your test:   You can open and edit the entire class file from Standalone by using the View Class button: And you'll be able to do anything you would expect from a class file - define custom functions, add assembly references, define global variables etc. In fact, all your coded ...

    Encrypting Passwords in Test Studio

    Using safe, generic accounts for testing is a boon; however, sometimes that’s simply not possible. Corporate policies may prevent “fake” accounts, or perhaps the test accounts have access to sensitive areas. In these cases it’s critical you’re able to secure the logon credentials. Test Studio’s Service Pack 2 for our 2012 R1 release now enables you to securely encrypt passwords in your tests with just a simple click. Here’s how a test logging on to our demo app looks. You can see the password is stored in clear text in the test: The password is also stored in clear text ...

    Test Studio’s Love for Visual Studio 2012 (RTM)

    You can tell the VS team has an appreciation for Test Studio because they’ve went with our color scheme for the VS 2012’s artwork: As you may already know Visual Studio 2012 is here. And the answer to the question you’re probably asking yourself is:   “Yes, Telerik’s Test Studio fully integrates with Visual Studio 2012” That’s right – VS 2012 is now officially part of the Test Studio-integrated family (alongside VS 2008 and VS 2010). Hooray!     Testing-wise the major change in Visual Studio 2012 is that Test View is gone. Instead we have the Test Explorer. We recommend that you checkout this...

    Performance monitoring in a Load test

    Test Studio’s Load feature is seeing some lightning-fast evolution these days. New things are added, existing things are improved – all based on customer feedback.

You can filter the results for your separate Load agents which wasn’t ...
