Exciting news never comes alone. The brand-new Visual Studio 2012 is officially released bringing lots of good and handy new features, options and opportunities for all .NET developers. Telerik is never behind, and we’ve released Service Packs for your favorite Telerik tools that make them integrate seamlessly with Visual Studio 2012. The recent Telerik JustCode Service Pack 2 adds dynamic support for the new color themes in VS 2012. This means that if you change the colors and theme of your Visual Studio 2012 instance, JustCode will simply pick them up and use them. And if VS looks good, JustCode will look...

Test Studio 2012 R2 is nearly here! How close is it? I’ll tell you tomorrow. In the meantime, please join us for our release webinar next Wednesday, 26 September, at 11AM US Eastern. (Register here.)

The video from last week’s webinar on solving common problems in web automation is live on Telerik TV! Watch this video and you’ll learn some tricks for dealing with locators, dynamic content, and tables. Please note this is a fairly generic webinar. I spent most of my time using WebDriver in C#.

He is co-author of "Windows Developer Power Tools" and Chief Cat Herder of the CodeMash Conference. ...

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 ...

Yesterday I hosted an hour-long webinar on Solving Common Web UI Automation Problems. The point of this webinar wasn’t to show off Test Studio; I actually did the vast amount of the webinar using WebDriver and C#. (I’m always happy to get an excuse to dive back in to writing some code…) I’m working on uploading the video; however, that likely won’t be live until tomorrow. In the meantime, please enjoy these other resources from the webinar: My main slide deck: My "Why U No Test Yur UI" deck Source code for the demos (all on my GitHub profile) Generic ...
