Telerik's automated testing tools
Today in 2010 Microsoft’s Test Manager is great for Windows and Web apps, but there is a glaring hole. No support for Silverlight. You need to try Telerik’s WebUI Test Studio. It is heaps better than Test Manager + the Coded UI tests. http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools
The key features are:
- It generates much less code (4 steps instead of UIMap.cs, etc...)
- Easy recording (a very nice UI)
- You can playback in a different browser
- Faster
So give it a try:
- You Download the standalone tool at http://www.telerik.com/download/teststudio
- Connect to a Silverlight site
- Record Silverlight
- Generate code
- and you're done
- Decide yourself if this is better than Microsoft Test Manager (MTM)
