    I’ve posted up two short videos covering a typical AJAX testing scenario: the elements you need to interact with haven’t yet been created – they’re waiting on some other action on the page before they populate from a call back to the server. AJAX: Working With Dynamically Loaded Elements is the first of the two and shows how to write a simple test to deal with this situation. AJAX: Data Driving Dynamically Loaded Elements is the second.

    Understanding Validation Content Element Types

    Test Studio offers you up several different validation types when you’re constructing a validation sentence targeting a content type. It’s important you understand the difference between the options you have – the subtle differences may cause unexpected failures or worse, falsely passing tests!
