“Done”. “Done Done”. When is a feature really done?
At Telerik, just like at every other software development shop, we have struggled with the definition of "Done". Throughout the years we've had many definitions of "Done" within teams and individuals: "It's done, but it's not tested" (Testing is left for the next sprint). "Yeah, it's working well. There are a few blocking issues but we'll fix that later" (Bug fixing is always a "tail" task and is never budgeted as part of the v1 of a "Done" feature). "Sure, it's 100% done but it doesn't have any UI yet"... -

Avoiding Brittle Automation
This morning I gave a “Speed Geeking Breakfast Talk” at the Software Testing Professionals Conference in New Orleans. Speed Geeking talks at STPCon are eight minute lightning format talks. There’s not really any time for Q&A during the talks, but they’re great for laying out important points and starting a conversation after the talk. My talk was whimsically titled “Brittle Automation or a Sharp Stick in the Eye? Wait, Let Me Think.” My point with the title is that badly done test automation can become such a time-consuming, frustrating task that the pain of it is metaphorically worse than a ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

For Startups, location matters
Twenty years ago when I entered the high tech industry, every aspiring young entrepreneur dreamed of building the next Microsoft and being the “next Bill Gates.” News articles told us that the next Bill Gates would probably come from Eastern Europe rather than from Silicon Valley (or Seattle where Microsoft is located). Ten years ago when Google got big and went public, every new entrepreneur wanted to be the “next Larry Page.” News articles told us that the next Larry Page would probably come from India or China rather than from Silicon Valley. As Facebook eyes its IPO next month, today young entrepreneurs hope to be the... -

XAMLflix presents RadRichTextBox for Silverlight and WPF
Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadRichTextBox for Silverlight and WPF. What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and paste the code between frameworks.

My Top 5 Visual Studio 11 Designer Improvements for ASP.NET 4.5 Development
A couple of weeks ago Microsoft released a beta version of the latest iteration of our favorite IDE - Visual Studio. This latest version, Visual Studio 11, contains quite a lot of improvements over Visual Studio 2010.

I've been tinkering with both ASP.NET 4.5 and VS11 quite a bit lately, and I wanted to give a quick list of my top favorite features in the new Visual Studio's Designer interface. Keep in mind that these are just...
