Using context menu items like 'delete' in a RADGrid fails. We learned to provide a delete icon on the row that testing can use. RADGrid context menus work for the user but not for Test Studio

RADCalendar Pop-Up Selection stops on unload handler

10/8/2011 Posted by:

Our client wanted to make sure that all edit pages could not be closed without asking the user if they really want to leave the page or not when they click the X in the upper right of the page. This works great until you run a test with a RADCalendar control on the edit page, then the confirmation pop-up comes up after selecting a date from the RADCalendar popup. If you answer the question 'Leave the Page', then RADCalendar pop-up closes and so does the Edit page. If you answer the question 'Stay on the Page', then the RADCalendar ...

Submit Button execution fails in Telerik Test Studio R2

10/8/2011 Posted by:

Before Telerik Test Studio R2, the submit button tests worked; now the tests time-out.

Telerik Test Studio R2 submit button test fails if not simulating a real click

If you open the submit step by double-clicking on it and check the simulate checkbox, the test step will work properly.

Telerik Test Studio has an option on a submit button test to simulate a real click as a mouse click.

This option allows the test to pass.

Pop-up Grid Editing Fails: Design for Testing

10/8/2011 Posted by:

Our web application uses pop-up windows to edit a record. The grid passes a query string with the guid id for the record to be edited, which is a solid way to edit the right record, but introduces testing issues. The test passes that guid in, but if the database is reloaded, different guids are created and the test will fail.

http://www.qualitytest.com/StandardEdit.aspx?Op=Edit&Id=9d13be77-8570-467a-a4e4-a35a1330d716

We needed to design a query string parameter that passes in a parameter that can be searched and not rely on a guid when testing.

It was simple to add a special parameter for testing ...

Resources to Learn Telerik Test Studio

9/18/2011 Posted by:

I've been following the Telerik testing tool since it was first released and I've been testing software one way or another since 1978. I was very excited about the Telerik offering, but I struggled with how to make it run consistently for one reason or another. In the end, it all came down to learning how to properly use Telerik's Test Studio (formerly WebUI Test). I've gone after documentation, videos, forums, and Telerik Technical Support; Dan Levy has been very helpful! Still, it was a painful journey. Now that we have tested custom ASP.Net applications and Sitefinity websites with this ...

HTTP Namespace Reservation error with Telerik Test Studio

7/20/2011 Posted by:

After putting in the latest Visual Studio 2010 security updates on our Vista test machine, the Test project failed to start because it couldn't register the HTTP namespace reservation for WCF (web services).  If you continue following this error, then the Test Studio will not be able to find the browser to execute the tests under and although you'll be able to record, you cannot execute a test that you created.

Searching the internet, I found the following command that you can run in the command prompt when run as administrator, but that didn't always work.

SQL Server Syntax for RADGrid Filter Expression

4/25/2011 Posted by:

Have you been frustrated trying to save and restore RADGrid filter expressions easily?

Are you trying to programmatically set the RADGrid Filter?

By default, the RADGrid is set for LINQ syntax. If you'd like to use MS SQL Server syntax, then simply add the following attribute to the RADGrid control:

<telerik:RadGrid Id='grdTest' EnableLinqExpressions='false'>

</telerik:RadGrid>

With LINQ expressions turned off, you can set the RadGrid filter expression as follows:

grdTest.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = "[CustomerName] = 'Test Customer'"

You can also obtain the RadGrid filter expression as follows:

Dim strFilterExpression = grdTest.MasterTableView.FilterExpression()

Simple but effective!

Telerik RADGrid: Fill a RADCombobox when editing a row with a user control

It is easy to fill a textbox using an EVAL statement when you edit a row in a RADGrid.

Creating a WebUI Test to navigate a Telerik RADMenu control

7/21/2010 Posted by:

I was surprised to find that simple attempts to write tests that included navigating via a Telerik RADMenu control produced an error that the menu item is hidden and not visible.

'7/21/2010 10:02:24 PM' - 'Fail' : 1. RadMenuItem('ctl00_HeaderMenu_ctl00_RadMenu1'): item 'Pricing' action -> 'Navigate' to '~/General/Pricing.aspx'
