    4.5 Tips for Working With Tests in Tables

    Many applications render data in tables; writing tests for table-based data is a very common task. Unless you approach it with a bit of preparation, it’s also a task that can easily result in you building very brittle tests. Consider the following grid which displays a list of contacts after having taken actions elsewhere in the system. (I’m using a Telerik RadGrid for AJAX in this example, by the way.) Perhaps one of our tests is to verify Jayne Cobb appears in the table. I can easily do that in two steps via a recorded step. Easy! The problem is ...

    Testing Framework Documentation

    Or, in the vernacular, “Dude! Where are my .CHMs?” In order to streamline the Test Studio installers, we’re no longer delivering the Telerik Testing Framework standalone help files bundled in with the download. Instead of a 100MB or larger download, we’re at 52MB – that’s a really nice improvement! This only impacts teams that are working directly with the Testing Framework or are leveraging coded steps or tests within Test Studio Standalone or Express. In those cases you’ll still be able to find the complete API reference straight from the Online User Guide section of the Help tab: Click there ...

    Dealing With Setup Actions and Baseline Datasets

    Many tests need some form of setup action or data before you get rolling in to the test. In a good functional test you want that setup action abstracted away from the UI—having your browser run around creating setup data is slow and brittle! For example, a test retrieving a user from a system shouldn’t first drive the system around to create that user. The action of creating the user for the real portion of the test should fall to some sort of a backing API. That API might call a web service, stored procedure, or even a command line utility. ...

    New Video: Manual Testing (And What NOT to Automate!)

    Test Studio lets you bring your manual test cases in to our environment where you can run, track trends, and report on your manual tests. More importantly, you can use our Fast Forward feature to quickly step you through tedious setup and navigation actions. I’ve just posted a video on Telerik TV showing off this feature. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough meant to get you up and rolling with effective, useful manual tests. I also talk about something I feel very strongly about: Not test case should be automated. (I even wrote a blog post on this some time back, as ...
