With every new release of JustCode we at Telerik are committed to providing you with the best tool for writing better, faster and error free code with ease. That of course includes testing it. With the latest and greatest version of JustCode we added support for two of the widely and most commonly used JavaScript testing frameworks out there - Jasmine and QUnit. In this post we will cover the support for Jasmine BDD JavaScript tests in JustCode. Industry first Jasmine support Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing your JavaScript code. For more information and details about the framework please visit Jasmine official site....

Many tests need some form of setup action or data before you get rolling in to the test.

The old settings are still there. "Show visual aid tag" option will show/hide the...

Test Studio lets you bring your manual test cases in to our environment where you can run, track trends, and report on your manual tests. More importantly, you can use our Fast Forward feature to quickly step you through tedious setup and navigation actions. I’ve just posted a video on Telerik TV showing off this feature. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough meant to get you up and rolling with effective, useful manual tests. I also talk about something I feel very strongly about: Not test case should be automated. (I even wrote a blog post on this some time back, as ...

In my last blog post, I introduced you to our new HTML 5 based xView extension to TeamPulse and specifically wrote about the Project Status view. In this post, I’ll go into further detail about the People Status view. People Status xView The goal of this xView is to give high-level work information about all of the people using TeamPulse and to assist in identifying people who may require help. As with the Project Status view, we wanted this view to allow people to focus on the most important information in a single glance. If people don’t require help, ...
