In case you didn’t know, each Thursday we have webinars for introducing people to Test Studio. They’re an hour long with ten or 15 minutes of slides, then 45-60 minutes of demos with Q&A interwoven in. I recorded yesterday’s session and have posted it up to Telerik TV: Getting To Know Test Studio (1/5/2012). It’s just over an hour long and walks through the main features of Test Studio. I talk a lot about general automated software testing, discuss our performance testing features, and also show off our great manual testing capabilities. I also spend some time talking about ...
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you enjoyed the Christmas and New Year holidays and spent them with your beloved ones. Let's wish prosperous and joyful year 2012 to all of us!
Now that everything is going back to the regular daily routine here at Telerik, I want to present you the Q3 2011 SP1 release of Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC, delivered for the commercial package. This is our present, right after the holidays, to our MVC prospects...
It’s amazing how much we managed to do since the official Q3 2011 release. We’ve improved and introduced so many things you guys have shared with us, so go ahead and check the Service Pack out. Here’s a small part of the release highlights: jQuery library used in Telerik.Web.UI is updated to version 1.7.1 AsyncUpload – hover state is added for the select button Grid – introduced new client-side methods, clearSort() and clearFilter(), for clearing the applied sort and filter expressions, as well Grid – improved support for OpenAccessLinqDataSource control Input – new HTML5 input type “time” ScriptManager – added support for scripts grouping...
I’ve just posted up a new video showing how to hook Test Studio and Team Foundation Server together. The video walks through using Test Studio to open up projects from your TFS repository, then shows basic check-in/check-out features. I also walk through what merge conflicts look like in Test Studio and how to deal with them. Then I flip to Visual Studio and show how you can link User Stories to Test Cases to Automated Tests—and show how you can write bugs against specific test cases. Test Studio: Integrating With TFS I hope you find this useful!
With each new release Telerik JustCode continues to expand in all directions. Following our previous refactorings post, here we’ll show you some new conversions added to the refactorings area for JustCode 2011’s Q3 release. Anonymous, Lambda And Named Method Conversions Now you can easily alter between those three ways of defining and using a method. Select the method and then choose from the refactorings menu "To Anonymous", "To Lambda" or "To Named Method" (refactorings context menu is shown with the shortcut Alt+Insert or from the VisualAid’s R menu): Convert Interface To Abstract Class And Vice Versa Next we have "Convert Interface To Abstract Class" and vice versa. Place...
Some time ago a customer of ours asked us if there is a possibility to use the FilterDescriptors, SortDescriptors and GroupDescriptors collection in a MVVM context by binding them to collections defined by the view model. As all the data is managed there, why not also manage the data operations in the same class? Unfortunately, these three properties are readonly and therefore binding them to a property defined by the main view model wouldn’t work. We decided that allowing similar scenarios will simplify the development with RadJumpList and therefore as of Q3 2011 SP1 the control exposes three new properties which...
As we say hello to a new year, we get to start with this piece of bright news coming today from Microsoft: IE6 usage in the United States (and Czech Republic, Portugal, Philippines, Ukraine, and Mexico) is now less than 1%. This is a major step towards reaching...
The guys at .NET Rocks were kind enough to have me on their show to talk about testing. It’s always fun to chat with Carl and Richard and I think we had a pretty good discussion around a number of topics I’m particularly passionate about. Check out DNR Show #729 if you’re interested. I hope you find it useful! Jim Holmes has around 25 years IT experience. He is co-author of "Windows Developer Power Tools" and Chief Cat Herder of the CodeMash Conference. He's a blogger and evangelist for Telerik’s Test Studio, an awesome ...
As we count down the final hours of 2011 and prepare to celebrate with family, food, and fun, it's time to look over our shoulder and remember what made the last year important. What events defined 2011? Sure, there are political and sports and entertainment stories...
It gets quiet around the office over the holidays. I like to use this time to reflect on the year behind us, both from the industry perspective, as well as from the Telerik perspective. It's the only 5 days out of the 365 in the year when we are not in a turbulent whirlwind of activity. From an industry perspective, 2011 was pretty dynamic and we saw some really powerful trends pick up steam: Cloud
The proliferation of cloud computing. Every solution needs to have a cloud back-end. More and more of our information is starting to live...
