    The Trickiest Tips in RadControls for ASP.NET (AJAX) Tests Automation

    Do you wonder if there are any keys to get easy test automation over the RadControls components? I’ve seen people asking about how to get a simple (at a first glance) task done through this or that test automation tool and we generally find the specific resolution with the exact tool in use. However, in most cases the things are quite similar no matter which tool you prefer. Instead of posting particular solutions though, with this post I’m sharing some of the trickiest moments one may came across while working on tests automation of RadControls for ASP.NET (AJAX) and the ...
