    Is This Thing On? (Part 4)

    This is Part 4 of a four part series where we explore some of the tools available to detect and manage online/offline connectivity in web/mobile applications. In Part 1 we looked at the available APIs for detecting connectivity state (and the woes associated with them). In Part 2 we wrote a hand-rolled abstraction to manage using these APIs together and began to see elements of a state machine emerge from the chaos. In Part 3 we explored how we can keep our FSMs from violating SRP, and set the stage for using multiple FSMs together to model more complex application behavior. In this final part of the series, we look at setting up hierarchical FSMs to manage more complex behavior.

    Manual Testing - the Next Step

    Greetings, fellow testers. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Manual Testing using Test Studio. As I pointed out, brining your existing manual tests into Test Studio is a great way to get started, and provides a better platform for reporting results over time than simple spreadsheets normally do. Your next step might be to take advantage of Test Studio's automation to ease your way through actually performing the manual tests. You probably have many tests that begin with the same set of instructions - log on, navigate to a particular page, perhaps creating some data - before ...

    Avoid Unnecessary Verifications

    I frequently see teams new to test automation making a number of common mistakes. One of those is adding in unnecessary verifications. Verifications are obviously a critical piece of good tests—it’s validating the system is working as we expect for that particular test case. Where new automation crews get confused is whether to add explicit verifications when navigating through their application, or after an explicit wait has been used to handle an asynchronous operation like an AJAX call or some JavaScriptish operation on the local browser UI. (The same concepts work for XAML or mobile applications!) Avoid Verifying Navigation Let’s ...

    New Batch Editing Functionality Brings the User Experience of Telerik’s Grid for ASP.NET AJAX Closer to Excel

    Batch editing is a new type of inline editing which brings the editing experience of RadGrid closer to this of Excel. Upon a click/double-click (whatever the developer specifies), the user will be able to open the cell for editing and edit as many cells as they like. By hitting the Save button just once, all their changes will be preserved.

    To Navigate, Or Not To Navigate?

    Routers are powerful tools in Single Page Applications, and Kendo UI's router provides an API to wrap up this power. But the API hides a lot of potential complexity and performance issues if you're not careful. Calling the navigate method without regard for the current context of the application and whether or not that context is changing can result in unwanted re-rendering of the entire application. This can reduce the responsiveness of the app, waste time re-drawing content that isn't changing, and cause a lot of flickering on the screen - and none of this is desirable from a user's perspective.
