Ever since our Q2 2010 release back in July, our testing tools team here at Telerik has been busy working on a fantastic new set of features to our QA automation suite, WebUI Test Studio. Just a couple weeks ago, all their hard work paid off with the official launch of our Q3 2010 release. We have created a series of videos highlighting how to use all the new features of WebUI Test Studio, these videos will help you get started quickly!

What's new in Telerik Minifier It is a huge pleasure to announce the release of Telerik’s new Minifier tool now featuring Xap file minification option. It has been a while since we have released the Assembly Minifier and now we bring the concept for minification and reducing the XAP file size to a new level. We have just released the new Telerik Minifier tool that now features Xap Minification to enable you prune and remove everything that your application does not need from the Telerik assemblies in the Xap. As a result, the size of your application's Xap file will be dramatically reduced. Behind the scenes it...
Thanks to all who attended last weeks What's New in Q3 2010 - WebUI Test Studio Webinar. Here is the blog post I promised to address all the questions that came in during the session! Q: Is it possible to use data extraction to drive a navigate to? A: Yes, this is indeed possible, simply extract the value from an HREF element, create a variable, and data bind the 'NavigateURL' property. Q: Love the product, any plans for a WPF version?
A: We are in the process of finalizing our automated testing roadmap for 2011, however chances are good ...
Many of you have probably used Telerik's TreeView or going to do so in the future. One of its many features is the TriStateMode. In this blog post I'm going to explain how TriStateMode mode is designed to work and propagate the values up and down the tree. When in TriStateMode (IsTriStateMode=”True”) checking/unchecking an item makes the TreeView propagate the value. The value propagation actually checks/unchecks all items’ children and updates the chain of parents with appropriate value (checked, unchecked or undetermined). CheckState vs. IsChecked The TreeView exposes two properties used to manipulate items' check state - CheckState (of type ToggleState) and IsChecked...
Download ODataSample (C# VS2010) - 167KB Download ODataSample (VB VS2010) - 180KB The Open Data Protocol, also known as OData recently has gained a lot of popularity. That is why we decided to demonstrate how to connect and consume an existing OData feed from Telerik Reporting with the help of WCF Data Services. For the sake of this example we will connect to the Northwind sample database exposed as an OData service with the following root URL: http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc. Let's start by adding a service reference to the Northwind data service to our report class library - we use the above service URL for this purpose: Visual Studio creates a reference to the service...
A bit tired this morning, we're chilling with the remaining swag at our lunch table and about to wrap up. But we just got interrupted as one of the speakers is conducting his session in the lunch room. Eric from EMC has decided to speak to the group about their tweets acknowledging that everyone is sick of Agile talk and wants something new. He's asked everyone who has an issue to come up and announce their problems (not personal ;)) and seek out a group to provide advice. Actually a very impressive conference move. They also asked everyone to play musical chairs. Nicely done, very Agile of...
The new Test Scheduling and Remote Execution feature we added with the Q3 release is a powerful addition to our Automated Testing Tools offering. The feature pushes WebUI Test Studio into multi-machine execution and enables customers to leverage the physical & virtualized environments to schedule and execute test runs. You can also collect results across this distributed environment into a centralized repository. This feature makes WebUI more appealing to large enterprises with larger test labs and machine pools. With this blog post I’m sharing all the basics of the feature in the form of FAQ. In addition I will also ...
One of the major goals for our AJAX RadEditor control is to provide an accessible content creation experience. For us, this task is divided into two major categories - having an accessible editor UI and helping the end user produce accessible content. With the Q3 2010 release, we made improvements to both and I want to share the results with you. The first major improvement is the new AccessibleRadEditor control. It is a stripped down version of the full featured RadEditor and has a simpler toolbar to allow easy navigation using only the keyboard. All tools have assigned shortcuts and even the...
