Using Data Driven Find Logic
Our R2 release of Test Studio 2012 enables you to create data-driven find expressions! This is an uber-geeky feature which can help you build out very flexible, powerful tests. There are a number of scenarios where you may find this useful; this post will show you one scenario for quickly validating the contents of the top menu in our Telerik demo application. In the image below you can see we’ve got three items, each identified by an ID, and each with some text content. To build a data-driven locator, fire up the recorder, pick an element from the menu (#1 ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

CSS Tip: Star Selector Not That Bad
While working on some projects recently, I found myself frequently writing CSS rules like this to enable CSS3 hardware accelerated "fade" transitions for elements in my app: .mySelector { -webkit-transition: opacity 1s linear 0s; transition: opacity 1s linear 0s; } When this rule is applied, any change to an element's opacity...May 27, 2021 4 min read -

Windows 8–Secondary Tiles
Continuing my series based on the presentations I’m giving on Europe, today I return to Tiles to look at creating Secondary tiles. A secondary tile can be created by the user and pinned to the start menu to provide deep access into your program. A classic example of a secondary tile would be to pin a tile for your home town in a weather application, or a specific stock in a portfolio program. I’ve stripped down the Microsoft SDK sample to its essentials to make it a bit easier to see how to create a secondary tile. To begin, create a new application,... -

JustCode 2012 Q2 Service Pack 2 Makes Navigation Even Easier
JustCode has long been helping developers navigate their code and quickly find Files, Types, Members, and Symbols. The most recent Service Pack (released 12-September 2012) has made it even easier! Go To File (Ctl-Alt-G) Camel Case Searching Entering capital letters (or a combination of capital letters and lowercase letters) into the search box will filter the files accordingly. For example, I know that I have two BDD concerns that test logging in, both starting with “When_Logging_In”. By Typing “WLI”, the Go To File dialog filters down to the files that have the capital letters W,L,I in their name (in order). The result is... -

Test Studio 101: How To Record A Login Test
*this article talks about HTML-based apps; Silverlight is a different story For today's lesson we're going to talk about the most basic of scenarios: automating your Login screen. Sure this might seem simple. But lately I've noticed that some new Test Studio users struggle with this. The question you might be asking yourself is: "I thought Test Studio is supposed to be the most intuitive UI automation tool on the market? How can recording a simple Login sequence be so complex that it requires its own blog post?" OK, that's actually two questions. Anyway, the thing is that when you're ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Controlling current culture in your XAML Windows Store apps
When building an application for Windows 8 we find the same known feature for Globalization through the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture properties, used in many cases where it comes to using culture-specific strings, formatting dates, numbers, etc. And while developing, you might be surprised that, in the common scenario, the current culture does not derive from the OS culture for the current machine. Then, how the current culture is resolved? It turns out that there is a way to get the correct OS UI culture. To understand the process I will start from a blank app and modify it for our needs. Package.appxmanifest default language When... -
