I am a huge proponent of writing quality code, a view that is shared by many of my colleagues. Unfortunately, I do encounter those who do not share my enthusiasm. Their view is often one of “Get It Done,” whereas I take the position of “Get It Done Right.” When discussing refactoring, the “Get It Done” developer often brushes it aside as a waste of time. I want to address that crowd, and anyone else who eschews refactoring, with my top 5 reasons why you should refactor your code. Enjoy! 5.

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).

Upgrading to a new version of Visual Studio can be a daunting task. Current solutions and tools need to be tested for appropriate support, and a late discovery that something isn’t working quite right can be disastrous. There is something you can be assured of… your Telerik Visual Studio Productivity Tools will continue to work as expected. In some cases, they will even work better.

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. Load testing has been around since the R1 release in April. In other words not very long. But things have been dynamic: the SP1 release re-worked the result output making it much more responsive. Next we introduced data-binding into the mix. And now with the latest SP2 release of R1 again we add more neat things. First off: the result visualization is improved.
