    Using jQuery selectors in WebUI Test Studio

    One of the key factors to the increased popularity of jQuery is its powerful selector syntax that can be used to find elements in the DOM. The syntax enables simple selections like selecting an element using an ID (#my_id) to more complex mutli-element selections and filtering. The power and popularity of jQuery selectors prompted many of our customers to request support for similar selection/query syntax in our WebAii Testing Framework. It is worth noting here that WebUI Test Studio is built on top off the WebAii Framework and customers using WebUI Test Studio have full access to the framework API ...

This session was prior to my own session (my very first session ever), Creating an Extensible Photo Application with MEF, so ...

For WebUI Test Studio users that do not want to use Team Foundation Server to schedule test list executions there is a great alternative already built into ...

    Silverlight Test Automation: Changing the Element Find Strategy to Avoid TimeoutException

    The default behavior of the WebAii Testing Framework (and WebUI Test Studio respectively) searching for the application visual elements is to timeout after a certain period of time if the element is not found. [TestMethod()] public void TelerikComSLTest1() { // Enable Silverlight testing Manager.Settings.EnableSilverlight = true; // Launch an instance of the browser Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(); // Navigate to : 'http://www.telerik.com/' ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.telerik.com/"); SilverlightApp app = this.ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()[0]; Image titleImage = app.Find.ByName<Image>("Title"); // will timeout if the image name is changed // Wait for visible 'TitleImage' titleImage.Wait.ForVisible(); // do whatever else is needed ...
