Getting Started with Kendo UI interactive presentation
Looking for an easy way to get started with Kendo UI? Then you may enjoy a new interactive slide deck I prepared called…you guessed it, Getting Started with Kendo UI. This is not a normal slide deck, though. This interactive deck was built using Google's handy "html5slides" template, which...December 14, 2011

Get More Data for Your Windows Phone App Performance with This Free Tool
I just found out a very useful, free monitoring tool for Windows Phone apps called Distimo Monitor. It gives you valuable insights as to what affects downloads and revenues of your app. It provides of course Downloads and Revenue reports by country, day etc. like you would expect. The two more interesting features are the Rankings and the Events reports. You can see the rankings of your app/apps for each day and country and how it evolved over time. You can even add comments to the rankings graph, just like in Google Analytics, so that you can track how a certain...December 14, 2011 -

Crash Code Mash with Telerik
Did you miss out on registering for Code Mash 2012 this year? Telerik has ONE FREE CONFERENCE PASS to raffle off. We'd love to have you join the rest of the crowd in January! Code Mash is a world-class technology conference at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, OH. They are expecting upwards of 1300 attendees and the event sold out in just 20 minutes!

Putting it All Together – Evolving Conference Junkie for Q3 2011
First I would like to apologize for the extreme delay in publishing this blog! I was trying to see if it would be possible to salvage the video recording. Unfortunately, due to the way I recorded it, audio was not captured properly. With the bad news out of the way, I would like to say, most of the OpenAccess content is covered in a session I did at DevConnections this year, and is available on TTV here. As for the other topics we covered, feel free to send me an email, and I will do my best to point you...December 13, 2011 -

Silverlight: Silverlight 5 is out. What does this mean to me?
Microsoft's long awaited release of Silverlight 5 happened on Friday. Silverlight 5.0 ships with a ton of new features, including new media and graphic improvements as well as extending the trust model to the browser (a big deal for some Line of Business applications). This release happened without any fanfare but that hardly diminishes its value. Some of the great things in the release are listed here. While Microsoft did not announce that there was going to be a Silverlight 6, they did announce they would extend support for Silverlight 5 for ten years until 10 Dec 2021, as long...December 13, 2011 -

Test Studio Is First to Automate Silverlight 5 Applications
Microsoft announced the release of Silverlight 5 a couple of days ago. Telerik is the leader in supporting the new technologies so is our automated testing solution – Test Studio. The Silverlight Test Automation is straight forward with Test Studio no matter the SL version the application is built on top of or the Silverlight runtime on the client machine. The latest official Telerik Test Studio version released a couple of weeks ago and labeled 2011.2.1117 officially supports Silverlight 5. Download the bits from here! We also recommend the latest internal build, labeled 2011.2.1209 (yes, released the same ...December 13, 2011 -

31 Days of Testing—Day 11: Maintainable Functional Automation
NOTE: I’m running a series called “31 Days of Testing” on my personal blog at FrazzledDad.com. The series covers a really broad range of testing topics, so I haven’t been cross-posting things here. This specific post; however, hits perfectly on things I’ve spoken about in Test Studio webinars and previous posts, so I’m posting it here, too. I’ll cross-post a few others; however, if you want to read the full series then please join me over at FrazzledDad! I wanted to write a blog post on “Introduction to Functional Automation Testing” but I realized I firmly believe there are ...December 13, 2011 -

Asserting a mock with test framework
When asserting an expected call for its number of occurrences or may be just to verify if the setup/arrange is acted as intended, the tool generally raises assertion that points us to the reason why the test failed. Different mocking tools use different exception classes therefore there is no common way to consolidate them. However, if we just take a look into the test framework unless its some alien one, they all have a common underlying structure for Assert.Throws or ExpectedException (MSTest). MS Test (C# and Silverlight) Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.AssertFailedException NUnit NUnit.Framework.AssertionException XUnit Xunit.Sdk.AssertException MSpec Machine.Specifications.SpecificationException MbUnit Gallio.Framework.Assertions.AssertionException So the point here is that if we just use the existing exception class rather...December 09, 2011 -

If you have been reading some of my other blog posts on things like the DataSource and Models, then you know that I like to talk about some of the lesser known features of Kendo UI. Kendo UI is more than just great looking widgets with amazing...December 09, 2011
