New Video: Integrating Test Studio with TFS
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!January 06, 2012 1 min read -

New Refactorings in JustCode Q3 2011
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.

Q3 2011 SP1 RadJumpList for Windows Phone 7 now adds support for bindable Data Descriptor collections
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... -

Wishing you great health in 2012. For everything else, there is … Telerik
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... -

Setup Your PhoneGap Development Environment On Mac
Over the holiday weekend I had the opportunity to take a project that I have been working on for the web and see if I could port it directly to a native app on iOS. Now your first thought is probably, “Don’t you have better things... -

Need to have a Cross Project Perspective?
Our customers have been asking us for some way to have visibility across a number of projects at the same time. We also think this is a great idea!!! For that reason, we’ve dedicated our next release (targeted toward the end of January 2012) to providing cross-project views to our customers. Before we started development, we really wanted to understand “who” would want such views – overwhelmingly, customers have told us that cross project views would be great for team members as well as roles such as the development manager, whose responsibility is to govern many projects at the same ... -

Here are the top 5 practices you can use TODAY regardless of your situation or environment. 1.Don’t call it “Agile” – The term Agile seems to have become fatigued or simply over/misused.
