New Video: Manual Testing (And What NOT to Automate!)
Test Studio lets you bring your manual test cases in to our environment where you can run, track trends, and report on your manual tests. More importantly, you can use our Fast Forward feature to quickly step you through tedious setup and navigation actions. I’ve just posted a video on Telerik TV showing off this feature. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough meant to get you up and rolling with effective, useful manual tests. I also talk about something I feel very strongly about: Not test case should be automated. (I even wrote a blog post on this some time back, as ...February 17, 2012 -

Improve Team Dynamics with the xView People Status Dashboard
In my last blog post, I introduced you to our new HTML 5 based xView extension to TeamPulse and specifically wrote about the Project Status view. In this post, I’ll go into further detail about the People Status view. People Status xView The goal of this xView is to give high-level work information about all of the people using TeamPulse and to assist in identifying people who may require help. As with the Project Status view, we wanted this view to allow people to focus on the most important information in a single glance. If people don’t require help, ...by Steve PorterFebruary 17, 2012 -

XAMLflix Episode 4 with RadDiagram for Silverlight and WPF
Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix Episode 4 with RadDiagram for Silverlight and WPF. What is XAMLflix you might ask? In case you missed the previous episodes, 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!

Welcome to this milestone release for RadControls for Windows Phone, as it brings the suite to a whole new level - fully embracing the concept of Rapid Application Development.

Cascading comboboxes and more charting features in the Telerik MVC Q1 2012 release
The Q1 2012 Telerik DevTools release is out the door! Following the MVC Extensions Q1'12 Beta announcement, I would like to tersely sketch what the additions in the official release are (or the omissions I inadvertently made in my previous post). Either way, here they are. Cascading comboboxes This has been one of the top voted features for the combobox in our public issue tracker, and we heard you! This release gives you built-in cascading comboboxes support by specifying the id of the related combo via the CascadeTo combo attribute. Once you make a selection in the first combo, the second...February 16, 2012 -

Introducing the New Cross-project Dashboard - TeamPulse xView
As the TeamPulse product owner, I'm pleased to introduce our new HTML 5 based TeamPulse extension we call xView. Our goal for these features is to provide users with a single location to get a view of data across multiple projects. I'm fortunate to spend the majority of my time focusing on a single project, as do the members of my team, but I've been working in the application development industry long enough to know that this is not the case with many of our customers. These customers are often juggling multiple items in multiple projects and there are people ...by Steve PorterFebruary 16, 2012 -

Editor’s Note, Telerik Newsletter, February 2012
Hello, all, and welcome to the February, 2012 edition of the Telerik newsletter! As the newest employee at Telerik, I’m still learning all of the good stuff we’re doing just in the area of developer tools. For example, the features in JustCode that fix up my using statements (Ctrl+Shift+U) and show me a type’s shape and implementation via the JustDecompile integration (F12) are now ingrained into my fingertips, but I just learned (JustLearned!) that if I want to get completions on types that aren’t even listed in my using statements, I can use Ctrl+Alt+Space and keep right on coding, which is one of a ton of new features in...by Chris SellsFebruary 15, 2012 -

Congrats for the next official version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX! It is live and you can download it now. Or check the release notes and the live demos first.
