Thus, I offer the following simplifications to get us started… Windows 8 is an operating system, the successor to Windows 7. There are numerous ways to create applications for Windows 8, and in fact there are now two classes of applications: Metro Style Applications... -

Data Binding Enhancements in 2012 R1 SP2
We’ve added a nice enhancement to our data binding experience in the latest release of Test Studio. We’ve simplified configuring bindings in test steps by providing you menu selections of available data parameters to bind to the step. Setting up a data source remains the same: from the project menu, select Add from the Data Sources section. Select the type of data source you want – I’m using an Excel file for this example. You’ll need to browse to your file system and locate the data file you want. (If you’re using a Database source you’ll be prompted to enter ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Beyond Agile Estimation Part II: Improving Your Metrics
Yesterday I blogged about using a spreadsheet in your Agile Estimation efforts. We left off after the first sprint and had an estimated time to completion of 15.14 weeks. Now let’s take a look at how this works after another sprint. The spreadsheet is the same, however, now we have data for sprint 2. Cell C2 represents the backlog size in story points after sprint 1. In this case if you remember from the blog post yesterday, our backlog is 106 story points. The team is going to commit to 8 story points worth of work (cell C3) and completes 8 (cell C4, told you the team gets better. ) This... -

Beyond Agile Estimation Part I: Measuring Key Data Points
During the recent conference season, I did a lot of presentations about Agile Estimation based on my Pluralsight course of the same name. At the end of the sessions I showed an Excel spreadsheet that shows how to take the concept of Agile Estimation one step further by measuring what actually happened and using that as part of your estimation. I am assuming that you know something about Agile Estimation, however, at BarCamp Hong Kong, I got a request to further explain this spreadsheet in a blog post. As promised, here it is. Let’s take a look at the spreadsheet after your first iteration (Sprint 1). Let’s assume... -

Get some interactivity from your charts with RadChartView for WinForms
I guess you are following us closely, so you are aware of the great RadChartView control introduced in Q2 2012 which aims to replace the old RadChart implementation. Today, I would like to introduce two cool RadChartView features and demonstrate how you can engage them. Namely, these features are Trackball and Selection. Trackball So, what is Trackball? Trackball displays a vertical line across the chart plot area and also displays little visual indicators (circles by default) at points where the trackball line crosses the visualization of a series object. For example when the trackball line crosses a line series line segment, a... -
