    Telerik Test Summit 2013 Wrap-up

    Greetings, fellow testers. Last week, we hosted a number of thought leaders in the testing community as part of the 2nd annual Telerik Testing Summit (Twitter: #TelSum) in Austin, Texas.

    Is This Thing On? (Part 2)

    In our last post we looked very briefly at the APIs currently available to help detect connectivity state in mobile/web apps. Our conclusion? Browser APIs have a long way to go in this area!

At the end of part 1, I said that I think a state machine abstraction would work well to manage all of this…but you might be wondering, "What's a state machine?". Before I show you the what and how of finite state machines, I think it's important for us to understand the why of state machines. So, grab some popcorn and prepare to laugh (and hopefully commiserate) as I walk you through what it could look like to solve the connectivity problem without a proper state machine.

I would rather return to the same therapist and pick up where I left off.

    Adding secondary tiles to your app

    Secondary tiles enable users to promote specific content and deep links. It enables you to personalize your app experience and give user the power on how they want to access data within their app. Consider a sample app that has a list of useful modules like Todo, Twitter, etc. When added to my dashboard I want to create a shortcut for that module in my Windows 8 start screen.
