Automated Testing in the Mile High City - Denver, CO
Last week Telerik co-sponsored the SQuAD conference in Denver, CO (also known as 'The Mile High City' due to its elevation of 1 mile above sea level). SQuAD is short for the Software Quality Association of Denver - what better place to showcase Telerik's next generation automated testing tools! On Wednesday we hosted an in-depth four hour automation workshop that allowed attendee's to build their own test automation using Telerik's WebUI Test Studio QA Edition. The session was a hit and the feedback, tremendous. Thursday we presented a one hour session on Silverlight Test Automation. This presentation reviewed many of the challenges ...May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Meet the Upload extension for ASP.NET MVC
As is usual for this time of the year, the Q1 release is ready and packed in pretty boxes. Inside you’ll find the new Upload, Splitter and Slider extensions and a host of other improvements. Hope this will make it up for the lack of bubble wrap. Introducing the Upload Uploading files in the browser is a somewhat painful process for both users and developers. The typical user experience you get by placing an <input type=”file”> on the page, is primitive by today's standards. Traditionally, improving the upload experience required the use of plug-ins like Flash or Silverlight. But not any more, as... -

Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part II: Scrum, but
See also: · Part I: How I started to use Scrum In the last post, we looked at how I got into Agile and Scrum. Today we will take a look at how I started to break the rules. After reading the Agile books by Ken Schwaber and obtaining my Certified ScrumMaster credential, I doubled down on Scrum at my start-up since it was working so well. As things progressed and our business evolved, I started to bump up against the “rules” of Scrum. As I mentioned last week in Part I, the guidance was to only use Scrum locally, not with offshore developers several time zones ahead. I was also breaking many other “rules”... -

Run Your Telerik Reports in the Cloud and Export Them to Word, PowerPoint & Excel 2007+
As with every release, the Q1 2011 focus for Telerik Reporting has been on both -- the end-user and the developer. Analyze, Update, Present & Share Data Supporting the Office Open XML standard, developed by Microsoft for representing spreadsheets, presentations and word processing documents, was a natural evolution for Telerik Reporting. This notable end-user feature means that starting from Q1 2011 Telerik Reporting will be able to export its reports to 2007/2010 Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Word, and Excel documents. Native support for the Office Open XML standard means a couple of important things: Firstly, we are not simply exporting an image of the report,... -

Save Development Time with the Theme Viewer for RadControls for WinForms
With the number of the themes in our suite constantly increasing (two more are coming in Q1 2011) it will surely take some time to review all of them for the different controls. This may sound like a simple problem, however the plot thickens when you are creating a new theme and you would like to know whether your forms look properly with your custom theme, and whether you are not missing an unstyled element here and there. As a result, in Q1 2011 we will introduce a new tool that solve these issues for you, and will save you time... -

RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF performance compared to Silverlight and WPF DataGrid
Just before our upcoming Q1 2011 release (next week) I’ve decided to check RadGridView performance compared to standard Silverlight and WPF DataGrid components and to test this I’ve declared a TabControl with two tabs - RadGridView in the first tab and a standard DataGrid in the second. Both grids are bound to collection with 1 million records. Having a collection with 1 million objects with many properties (for example 1000 properties) will consume a lot of memory and the creation will be insanely slow and that is why I’ve decided to turn off auto-generated columns for both grids and add desired... -

Q1’11 Pre-Release Series: Coded UI Testing, RadWizard, and fast TreeView coming to Telerik Windows Forms
Q1'11will definitely be huge for RadControls for WinForms! The Telerik WinForms controls will be the first suite to be compliant with the latest user interface accessibility and UI automation standards, namely Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and Coded UI tests. MSAA is designed not only to help visually impaired people, but it is also a great automation tool, which Microsoft included in Visual Studio 2010. The automation allows developers to access and manipulate all UI elements in applications that support it (if you need ASP.NET, Silverlight and [soon] WPF test automation, check out Telerik WebUI Test Studio). We have also extended our localization... -

New Themes Coming to Telerik Windows Forms in Q1’11 and Why We Rebranded an Existing Theme
As you all know Telerik always strives to follow the latest UI innovations and improvements that the software market offers. With the release of Microsoft Office 2010 we turned our eyes and efforts into creating a theme that covers this style. As a result in Q3 2010 we introduced the Office2010 theme which followed the silverish look of Microsoft Office 2010. However, we did not stop there. We wanted to provide the full color palette that Office2010 provides. This is why the Telerik Office2010 theme is going to be followed by new fellow themes – Office2011Black and Office2010Silver: Office2010Blue Office2010Black Office2010Silver You should be...
