    Automated Web Testing Best Practices

    When recording automation, it's important to stay laser focused on your main objective - creating a sustainable test that can be executed consistently for regression testing. By staying in this mind set and taking time to think through each test case and how to best tackle it - you will have created tests that will thoroughly test your application build after build. A common pitfall new testers fall into is creating automation that is action oriented without setting appropriate 'verification' and 'wait' steps. 'Verification' and 'wait ' steps allow you to ensure elements exist prior to performing click actions and ...

    Return of the Silverlight Recruiting Application

    It has been a while since I've had a nice, lengthy, code-a-riffic post on here so I wanted to start this off right.  By the title of this post I've already given up part of the surprise- I'm revisiting the Silverlight Recruiting Application and bringing it up to date.  For those of you that don't remember (or haven't seen this series), the concept behind this application was around a real world internal use here at Telerik.  More specifically, we keep growing and therefore our HR demands have grown, requiring something more robust than a very organized use of Excel and...

    Defining hierarchical domain models - Part Two

    The first blog post on this topic described how to create a domain model from an existing database and set inheritance relations between the generated classes. It was also shown how to use vertical mapping. In this post however, the focus is on the flat strategy (multiple classes mapped to one table) and forward mapping. Let's add some new classes to the model from the previous post: The new classes - Coupe and Limousine, will be mapped to the table of the Car class. To do that, select each of the new classes and change the "Mapped to" option in the Details Editor...

The idea is simple, and the transition process is quick, transparent and painless.

    Defining hierarchical domain models - Part One

    With the 2010 Q2 release of Telerik OpenAccess ORM we introduced a lot of new features, including forward mapping capabilities for the visual designer. This makes the life much easier when it comes to defining a domain model which contains classes in a hierarchy. Until now it was only possible to use the vertical strategy for mapping a class hierarchy but in Q2 we have enabled the flat strategy as well. Any combination of flat and vertical mapping is also supported. This leaves the horizontal strategy as the last one to be supported, probably later this year. Now let's see how those things...
