Stealing From The Company
Greetings, fellow testers. by idleformat At a recent tech talk on automated testing and building, the statement was made that "not automating tests is like stealing from the company." The speaker’s intent was to stress the importance of what he believes to be a “best practice.” The focus of the talk was to encourage using unit tests and test-driven-development techniques; automating integration, functional and user interface tests; and including them at various points in the product’s build process. These are considered good, productive, time-saving techniques and so it should be obvious that not using them would be bad, ...June 15, 2013 3 min read -

Data Storage for Windows Store Apps - a Walkthrough
With the Q2 Release of RadControls for Windows 8 we announced a new Data Storage framework that fills the gap of a local database solution missing in Windows 8/RT. Our solution is based on the well-established SQLite engine but provides additional functionality. Particularly, we implemented a LINQ to SQLite provider and some simple ORM features for the .NET Framework on top of it. On the JavaScript and HTML 5 side, the ORM capabilities are wrapped by a lightweight library which allows JavaScript developers to take advantage of the local database storage using JS objects and standard SQL expressions. -

Icenium Everlive Keynote Demo (Recap)
On May 29th, 2013, several of us participated in a webinar covering the new release of Icenium (you can see a recording of the webinar event here). I had a chance to share a bit about Everlive - a new backend-as-a-service offering allowing you to store data and files, manage users and more in the "cloud". As part of the demo, I created a very simple note-taking mobile app and walked us through tying Everlive into it so we could create, store and retrieve notes, as well as register new users to the application and more. Let's take a brief moment to highlight the relevant (Everlive) portions of the demo app...June 13, 2013 5 min read -

The Power of Code
Greetings, fellow testers. There's been a lot of talk recently about testers learning to code. I'll say this much here — I think it's important for those of us who are testing software to understand how software works. For some, that means being able to read code. For some, that will turn into an interest or passion for writing code. Some of that code will be automating existing tests, some of it will be automating other tasks that we perform every day — creating data, cleaning up after tests are complete, reporting on our findings, etc. With regard to automating ...June 13, 2013 4 min read
