    Testing AJAX Dynamically Loaded Elements

    I’ve posted up two short videos covering a typical AJAX testing scenario: the elements you need to interact with haven’t yet been created – they’re waiting on some other action on the page before they populate from a call back to the server. AJAX: Working With Dynamically Loaded Elements is the first of the two and shows how to write a simple test to deal with this situation. AJAX: Data Driving Dynamically Loaded Elements is the second. This video expands on the first and shows you how to alter the first test to use data pulled in from an Excel ...

    Understanding Validation Content Element Types

    Test Studio offers you up several different validation types when you’re constructing a validation sentence targeting a content type. It’s important you understand the difference between the options you have – the subtle differences may cause unexpected failures or worse, falsely passing tests! To demonstrate the differences, I’ll use the same example HTML I used in my previous post about working with test-hostile UIs. If I select the first NewsItemContent node and look at its snippet of the DOM, we’ll see this: <div class="NewsItemContent">We continue to have more and more successes with dogfooding throughout Telerik. ("Dogfooding" ...

It was a utopian society made cleaner, better, and more prosperous through the auspicious use of technology and automation. This description, ...

    Keep Your Tests DRY

    [Note: I covered this topic somewhat in my earlier post on maintainable tests; however, this concept is so critical, in my opinion, that it deserves a separate post. You’ll continue to hear lots about this practice from me as I write and speak more!] Test code should always be treated with the same care production code is – because test code IS production code! Your source code for your tests may not be deployed to your customers’ production servers, but it’s every bit as important as the components that are Approach the design, implementation, and maintenance of your ...
