    UI Automation Testing with UIA Verify

    As I mentioned in my previous post “UI Automation/Accessibility in Silverlight 2, tools and resources summary”, UIA Verify is one of the current options for UI Automation testing of controls and applications. The tool was published by the Microsoft UI Automation team about 7 months ago and according to the release page, it was downloaded about thousand of times so far. Still, I didn’t find any public articles regarding its advantages not because the tool is useless, quite the opposite! So I decided to describe the tool’s features briefly and I hope you’ll enjoy the tutorial. First of ...

    LINQ: Sequence contains no elements. Extension methods to the rescue.

    When you start playing with LINQ queries over sequences of elements (e.g. getting min / max value for enumerable source) sooner or later you will come across this one -- the InvalidOperationException (“Sequence contains no elements”). The problem occurs as by default queries like IEnumerable<T>.Min(…) and IEnumerable<T>.Max(…) do not play nicely if you try to execute them on an empty sequence and just throw the exception described above. Unfortunately these methods do not have a corresponding counterpart like Single(…) / SingleOrDefault(…) that is smart enough to query the sequence if it is not empty or alternatively use the default value without raising...

    Joining the Silverlight Testing World

    Back in late 2006 I started this blog, posting content based entirely on the ASP.NET tester’s activities. At the end of summer 2008 I was still completely focused on ASP.NET. You never know what fate will bring you in a month, what about a year or two. Since the beginning of September 2008 I joined the Telerik Silverlight team. My main responsibilities are to build the test strategy, organize the work in all terms of quality assurance and help the team of talented developers release a great suite of Silverlight controls. You have probably already seen the latest nice ...

    Telerik Enters the ORM Space

    We are very excited to announce that Telerik has expanded into the ORM marketplace with the acquisition of Vanatec, a German-based company. Vanatec has developed a remarkable ORM product since its inception in 2005. As they join the Telerik fold, you can expect to see OpenAccess grow with new and advanced features in releases to come, including improved LINQ support and tight integration with existing Telerik controls. OpenAccess ORM will be officially available as a standalone product or a part of the Telerik Premium Collection in early November as a part of the Q3 2008 release. With the addition of this...
