Power of Dynamic Test Lists
Test Lists are a great way to organize tests and get execution results summarized. Telerik Test Studio includes the standard “Static” Test List that allows you to add existing tests from your project, but there is a small maintenance penalty for using the static list because each time you add a new test to your project it must be added to one of the existing test lists. One of the underlying principals of Test Studio is to decrease the overall maintenance cost traditionally associated with automated testing. Within the world of test lists we have done this by creating the ...September 23, 2013 -

The Brave New World of Mobile Testing
Greetings, Testers. Peter and I have been thinking, talking and writing these past few weeks about changes we've seen over the past few years in the application development and testing field.

You Want Me To Talk To Whom? DEVELOPERS?
In a word, yes. It won’t be easy. You’ll need to learn new terminology. You’ll need to be patient. You’ll likely have to get a bunch of figures on your monitor. Why Collaborate? Why should testers and developers collaborate? It’s a perfectly legitimate question, particularly to those who’ve been in the software industry for a number of years and have seen the coming and going of any number of buzzword fads. Collaboration among members of a team producing software isn’t just a fad. The IT industry is finally moving away from stove piped, separated groups to a much healthier, more ...September 17, 2013 -

Load Testing Web Services
Did you know that you can use Test Studio to load test your web services? This is probably one of our most asked-about new features. We want to make this feature a really great experience, so we're planning lots of improvements. Depending on your service, you can start load testing them right now! There are a few limitations to be aware of. Improvements to the Dynamic Variables system are coming. Until those arrive, if you need to use Dynamic Variables embedded in JSON or XML content, you are going to have wait. If not, you are able to start load ...September 13, 2013
