Web Aii - General Information

[arik w]

My company recently acquired Telerik controls, and now we want to automate our tests.

1. I wanted to know which tools may I use to automate my tests (tools that support Telerik controls).

2. We now own QTP but I as we tried to automate with it, we had a lot of recognition problems.

does QTP support  your (Telerik) controls?

3. I download WebAii but I didn't understand how I am supposed to add WebAii add-in to visual studio

4. How  does WebAii work? by recording , writing code, or both?

 

5. How do I recognize objects in WebAii ?

Hi arik w,

First we need to clarify some background information for you. We offer three different products for testing tools:

1. WebAii Framework - This is a set of .NET libraries you can use to hand code unit tests in any .NET programming language. There is no charge to download and use this library. Support is limited to using the Telerik forums (this forum is dedicated to that purpose). Documentation for using this library is found here. There is no recording capability and no direct integration with Visual Studio.
2. WebUI Test Studio QA Editiion - this is our premier testing product. It is a complete standalone website testing tool. With it you can record tests against your website and then play them back to insure it maintains the functionality required. It also supports a code behind model so you can code test steps when needed. This product retails for $2499 for a single license.
3. WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition - this editiion is much like our QA edition. It is an add-on to Visual Studio. You still get most of the functionality of QA edition.  This product retails for $1499 for a single license.

As far as QTP is concernced, we have virtually no knowledge about it. We do not offer any special support for it. You'll need to ask the QTP folks on their forums about what it can or cannot do. We highly recommend using WebUI Test Studio if you want full support and tight integration with our suite of RadControls for Ajax and/or Silverlight.

If you have any further questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Kind regards,
Cody
the Telerik team
