    Telerik acquires Fiddler. A week in review.

    I wanted to personally thank the entire Fiddler community for the overwhelming response to last week’s announcement that Telerik has acquired Fiddler. The feedback has been just amazing – in just a week Twitter has absolutely blown up and our survey asking for your input has already received more than 1400 responses (keep an eye out for a future post based on those responses)! If it wasn’t obvious before just how important Fiddler is to the community, here a few or my personal favorites.  But don’t take my word for it, feel free to see the Tweets for yourself or read ...

    Editing a XML From A Coded Step

    I got an interesting request from a customer today. It seems the app that the user intends to test has a user.config file associated with it. And here's what the user is looking to do in his own words: How do I create a test which modifies the user.config file before opening the application? Hopefully it will be interesting for you to see how I put this together. I did a bit of research and it went like this: 1) What's a user.config file? I figured I probably have one of these on my hard-drive. I did a Windows search ...

    Notes from the “Solving Common Web UI Automation Problems” Webinar

    Yesterday I hosted an hour-long webinar on Solving Common Web UI Automation Problems. The point of this webinar wasn’t to show off Test Studio; I actually did the vast amount of the webinar using WebDriver and C#.

In the meantime, please enjoy these other resources from the webinar: My main slide deck: My "Why U No Test Yur UI" deck Source code for the demos (all on my GitHub profile) Generic ...

    The "Remove Script File" Button

    This one is kind of advanced. You can add a coded step to your test (or convert  an existing step to code). When you do that - a so-called "code-behind file" is generated. The file in question is simply a C#/VB class file that has the exact same name as your test:   You can open and edit the entire class file from Standalone by using the View Class button: And you'll be able to do anything you would expect from a class file - define custom functions, add assembly references, define global variables etc. In fact, all your coded ...
