    New troubleshooting articles for Test Studio Load Testing

    Now that we have a new Load Testing architecture, we're re-organizing the troubleshooting articles to bring everything up to speed. Most of the old issues with load have been resolved. For those that remain, we're creating new articles to help you resolve them more easily. First, if you don't get any load traffic when making requests to localhost, use the machine name or IP address. Simple. Next, some load tests still record duplicate dynamic targets.

    30 Days of TDD – Day Ten – More Refactoring and NUnit Features

    In the last post I showed you how from time to time it is necessary to change our code to enhance readability, make maintenance easier or to optimize the codes performance. This practice is called “Refactoring.” Normally making these kinds of changes can be a nerve-wracking experience for developers as they can’t be certain that their changes aren’t breaking something else.

    The Q2 2013 release of Kendo UI saw the introduction of the new Scheduler widget - a highly requested, highly customizable widget that allows you to schedule things in a calendar view. Along with a new widget, of course, there is a lot of new documentation and new resources for getting started and using it.
