Dealing With Setup Actions and Baseline Datasets
Many tests need some form of setup action or data before you get rolling in to the test. In a good functional test you want that setup action abstracted away from the UI—having your browser run around creating setup data is slow and brittle! For example, a test retrieving a user from a system shouldn’t first drive the system around to create that user. The action of creating the user for the real portion of the test should fall to some sort of a backing API. That API might call a web service, stored procedure, or even a command line utility. ...February 23, 2012 -

Good Ol’ Visual Aid With a Twist in JustCode
Along with the brand new goodies coming with the latest release of Telerik JustCode, i.e. support for QUnit and Jasmine JavaScript testing frameworks, opening the API to the public, All Types Code Completion (a.k.a. JustCode IntelliSense), etc., there comes a major overhaul of an old friend of ours – the Visual Aid, or lovingly shortened to VA. The main part of the rework there is in the direction of behavior configurability. Thus, a stand-alone VA settings page is brought to life in the Visual Features menu of JustCode options dialog. The old settings are still there. "Show visual aid tag" option will show/hide the...February 21, 2012

In this post I'll show off what RadDiagram is and how you can best use it for number of different applications. Let's first take a look and play with it. Control or a Framework? The Control. RadDiagram is very extensible and flexible Control (part of the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Diagrams assembly).
