In fact, at Telerik we went so far as to try to have almost real-time transparency with the release of our free Project Dashboard tool that sits on top of Microsoft Team Foundation Server.

    A look under the hood at WebUI Test Studio's Execution Engine (Part 2 of 2)

Let’s take a look at the first two options for results publishing, out=[folder path] and root=[folder path]. The out=[folder path] option allows us to copy our results file to any directory on our computer.  For example, let’s say that we multiple projects ...

    A look under the hood at WebUI Test Studio's Execution Engine (Part 1 of 2)

    WebUI Test Studio comes with two options for test execution.  The first is the result of our tight integration with Visual Studio and uses MSTest.exe.  The second, and the subject of this post, is the built-in execution engine ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In this post we will look at all the command line options for the ArtOfTest.Runner.exe.  In Part 1 we will look at the two execution command line options as well as how to simplify working with the command prompt.  Part 2 will be dedicated to showing the flexibility of the execution engine by showing the results publishing options. The ArtOfTest.Runner.exe is ...

    Using Telerik’s New LINQ Implementation with SQL Azure

    With the Q1 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM, Telerik released a brand new LINQ Implementation and supporting Visual Entity Designer. I have shown in this blog how to connect to SQL Server, MySQL, and how to use the new LINQ with RIA Services. Today I will show you how to connect to SQL Azure.

We’ll create a new Domain Model by right clicking on the server project and selecting “Add” and choosing the Telerik Domain Model from the menu. In the dialog presented by OpenAccess select the database you...
