    Three Improvements to Cross-Browser Test Recording and Editing

    Earlier this year, Test Studio 2013 brought recording to Chrome and Firefox. That was a start, and now it's time to take the next step. R2 2103, scheduled to be released in December, brings some changes to the ribbon and more flexibility to running and recording tests. First of all, we've simplified the toolbar - bringing the controls for recording and running tests together in the first section of the ribbon, now labeled Recorder/Run. Instead of selecting a browser in one section, then searching for the Record button in a different ribbon section, you now can choose ...

As a tester, you're likely more interested in how to use Test Studio than how it was built, and this is the first of a series of posts for you. One of the first Kendo UI widgets I used is the Data Grid (you can find my example code on GitHub, if you're so inclined). ...

    Load Testing in Test Studio 2013 R2

    Web applications are a lot more complicated these days than even a few years ago.  We don’t hear a lot these days about Web services as a development technology, but virtually every Web application that uses commonly provided services will access those service via traditional Web services technology.  If your Web application reports on the weather, or provides a stock market update, you are using a Web service.  A Web service uses HTTP, but it runs the SOAP, REST, or similar protocol over that.  And if your stock market updates are slow or accumulating timeout errors, chances are you are ...

    30 Days of TDD – Day 17 – Specifying Order of Execution in Mocks

    We’ll continue developing our e-commerce application today by looking closer at how we will utilize the Order Fulfillment service. This service is provided by a third party and the API requires an ordered set of calls to be executed. In this post I’ll show you how your mocks can enforce this rule and let you know when your test violate it.
