Overview about test studio

Automated testing tools present their own challenges by being complex to use and are often built to suit the style of software developers more closely than QA engineers. The user interface can resemble the dashboard of a jet cockpit with many controls and windows, but no clear functional path that assists the tester through the process. Traditional automated testing tools are also script-centric and require coding skill to use effectively.Test Studio QA Edition addresses these issues by making tests easy to run and consistent overtime and where results can be shared easily with key players in the organization. Test Studio QA Edition is built to provide deep visibility into elements on a web page and is extensible so that your tools can always handle the latest technology challenges. Test Studio QA Edition is built specifically for QA engineers, without the trappings of complex development environments.Test Studio QA Edition is an automated testing tool that offers an intuitive, codeless and productive way to test any web application. Complex AJAX and Silver light scenarios, MVC, client-side functionality, JavaScript calls, data-driven testing – Test studio covers them all. Test management and failure resolution are brought to a new level, making you more productive.

Test Studio offers two versions:

      The Standalone version is for QA professionals.

      The Visual Studio plug-in is for developers wishing to perform functional testing themselves.

1.2 Features

      Tight Visual Studio Integration
Test Studio is tightly integrated in Visual Studio, allowing users to generate tests as C# or VB.NET code. Native test types ensure first class test support in Visual Studio - both Professional and Team Editions.

      Powerful test recorder for support desktop and web testing
you no longer need to write all your tests in code from scratch. Test Studio features a convenient recorder that outputs functional tests in code, which you can immediately customize or extend in Visual Studio. This will make you times more productive than before.

      Test any application – HTML | AJAX | Silver light | WPF | MVC
Test Studio allows you to easily test ASP.NET AJAX and client-side functionality or bind test steps to a data source. It also supports JavaScript function invocation and validation directly from Your .NET code.

      Cross-browser test execution
Test Studio’s unique browser abstraction saves you loads of time – you don’t need to duplicate your tests for different browsers anymore. You can have your test recorded just once and played on all supported browsers without re-recording: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari for Windows

      Reuse of elements across all tests
all application elements in your tests are abstracted out and filed in the "Elements Explorer". If there are multiple tests that use the same element, the latter is referenced from the “Elements Explorer” instead of being duplicated in the test.

      Simplifies QA – Developer collaboration
Telerik Test Studio ships with a standalone application aimed at QAs and a Visual Studio plug-in crafted for developers. Both tools use the same repositories and file formats so that QAs can check-in tests in the main project, which developers can then extend with code. In addition, teammates can quickly get an idea what their colleagues have already recorded through the built-in Visual Storyboard tool.

      The best way to test your applications built with Telerik Controls Thanks to the integrated control translators; you can easily test your Telerik-powered applications. QAs and Developers now have access to exposed validations allowing for specific functionalities to be tested. You can verify HTML and XAML control elements, as well as more complex functionalities such as JavaScript calls, “Wait for AJAX” synchronization points, etc.

      Silver light Integration
Test Studio 2.0 supports automated testing of Silver light applications, in addition to the product's support for ASP.NET testing. With the addition of Silver light support, testing of a Silver light application can recorded and automated using the Test Studio Design Canvas. Here's a summary of the key new features
