XAMLflix Video Tutorial: RadGauge for Silverlight and WPF
Welcome back to XAMLflix. This week we’ll take a look at RadGauge for Silverlight and WPF. XAMLFlix is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control, and on Wednesdays we provide a written tutorial. Since our Silverlight and WPF controls 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.

Why I Hate Unit Testing
So you went to work for the cool company that wooed you with promises of cutting edge technologies and techniques. In the interview, they told you that they are agile and unit test everything. You may or may not have been in an agile environment before, but the important thing you are enthusiastic about joining a team that truly gets software development. You tested on your previous job, even using JustMock to write better tests. You promise you can be agile yourself and quickly adopt their practices. You’re immediately hired. Many of you have been there… maybe you’re there right now. It takes... -

Quick Tips on Troubleshooting Your Web Pages – Element Inspector and Network Resources
When I first started out developing web pages back in the day there barely were any tools for development outside of the IDEs that were offered, which weren’t too much to write home about anyways. While some might say that web pages that were manly cluttered with animated GIFs and content related to Warcraft 1 & 2 and Diablo 1 (tells you a lot about my child hood ;)) is not considered much of a web development project, I still say it is (or was) :D. Either way, you wrote your HTML, CSS (fairly new too) and JavaScript and hoped... -

Load and Performance Testing; What’s the Difference?
The difference turns out to be a lot! To start with load and performance testing goals are very different. Load testing goals usually seek to answer questions regarding system capacity, throughput, and client response times for multiple concurrent users. For example, how many concurrent users can the system successfully accommodate? Or how many transactions per second can the system successfully process? Or can the system successfully scale to 1,000 users? Whereas performance testing goals seek to answer questions regarding server processing, and client response times for a single user. The primary goal of performance testing is to tune the system ...May 27, 2021 3 min read -

Got a Bug? File a Report
Telerik’s TeamPulse is a terrific project management tool for boosting communication in and between projects. We’re constantly looking for ways to better integrate Test Studio with TeamPulse to clearly communicate quality metrics around your automated tests back to the projects. We’ve had integration tying tests to acceptance criteria in TeamPulse for some time, but with Test Studio’s 2012 R1 release we’ve kicked up the integration another notch: You can now push bug reports from Test Studio directly to your TeamPulse projects from anywhere you can examine a failing test: the test explorer, test results calendar, or test list details.
