Latest release delivers Out-of-Browser support, introduces control virtualization handling
Waltham, MA, July 14, 2010 – Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, today unveiled its Q2 2010 product release, featuring a number of essential new additions to its WebUI Test Studio in the field of Silverlight test automation. The updated Telerik automated testing tools also introduce new functionality aimed at enhancing testers’ productivity such as image verification, quick task addition, and more.
“Our determined focus on innovation and commitment to customers translates into timely delivery of leading-edge updates to our testing solutions,” said Christopher Eyhorn, Executive Vice President, Telerik Automated Testing Division. “Not only was WebUI Test Studio the first to offer support for Silverlight UI test automation, but with this release we continue to strengthen our position as the leading solution on the market for Silverlight testing.”
Following the official premier of WebUI Test Studio in April, the axis of the second major release for this year is Silverlight test automation. The new version of WebUI Test Studio adds full support for Out-of-Browser testing of Silverlight applications. The Out-of-Browser experience empowers users to launch their web applications directly from their desktop/start menu no matter if their computer is connected to the web.
Furthermore, WebUI Test Studio 2010.2 introduces a solution to Silverlight virtualized control testing. The advanced recording surface now extends its capabilities to allow users to detect Silverlight ChildWindows and Pop-ups, and connect to them. In addition, users can highlight elements within these Pop-ups, and build verifications against them.
Beyond the compelling optimizations in the Silverlight UI testing field, WebUI Test Studio 2010.2 adds a number of features fostering user testing experience and efficiency. The new Image Verification is a powerful test recording feature which enables customers to build image verifications against specific elements in their HTML or Silverlight applications. WebUI Test Studio offers precise “pixel-by-pixel” testing which allows users to refine the image verification they want to build.
In addition to the more precise verification options, WebUI Test Studio introduces export of the test’s Visual Storyboard in HTML format, which facilitates documenting of business requirements; continue recording from a specific step; add manual steps to your test, and more.

Waltham, MA and Nashua, NH, USA – July 12, 2010 – HiSoftware Inc. (www.hisoftware.com), a leading provider of Web content and social media compliance solutions, today announced a new partnership with Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET. The duo have partnered to include Telerik’s popular RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX as part of HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff® Accessibility Foundation Module™ (AFM) for SharePoint®, a solution which allows users to create an accessible platform/framework for a SharePoint 2010 or 2007 portal, or intranet site. RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX, a cross-browser, rich-text editor, will provide advanced editing functionality for AFM.
“HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff and its Accessibility Foundation Module for SharePoint are the leading compliance automation solutions in the SharePoint market. We believe the solution will only be made better with the introduction of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX as part of the AFM module for SharePoint platform accessibility,” said Svetozar Georgiev, CEO, Telerik. “We are pleased to have this opportunity to team up with an innovative market leader like HiSoftware and look forward to a long and productive partnership.”
Many organizations – government entities, education, and corporate – using SharePoint require that the software products in use are accessible. AFM is offered as part of the HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff for SharePoint solution to provide a more complete and easy-to-deploy method of addressing SharePoint framework accessibility. The incorporation of Telerik ASP.NET AJAX RadEditor, a high-productivity Web editor, as part of AFM, opens up two new avenues of opportunity for website content contributors: faster and easier accessible HTML content authoring, and improved interaction for disabled users. RadEditor’s fully accessible content-managing UI permits disabled users to easily work, generate accessible XHTML output, and add content into a SharePoint site. The partners are also looking at ways to further integrate technologies to address other compliance areas within SharePoint.
Kurt Mueffelmann, president and CEO, HiSoftware, stated, “We have many large customers with disabled employees who need to contribute content via SharePoint sites. Including the Telerik RadEditor with Compliance Sheriff AFM for SharePoint will enable content authoring for all with a fully accessible text editor.”
Along with the inclusion of the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Editor with the HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff AFM for SharePoint, HiSoftware and Telerik are committed to working together on accessibility solutions for technologies such as Silverlight® and AJAX, as well as standards such as the W3C’s ATAG 2.0 (Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines) initiative.

Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for the Microsoft .NET Framework, announced the Q2 2010 Beta Release of RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF. Among the highlights are: Assembly Minifier for Silverlight, which reduces the size of the RadControls assemblies; five new identical controls for both suites among which DataFilter, DataPager and BusyIndicator.
“By reducing the size of the RadControls Assemblies, the Assembly Minifier ultimately reduces the size of the XAP file of the application,” said Nikolay Atanassov, Telerik Silverlight teams Unit Manager. “The end-users will immediately feel the difference too, because the loading time of your Silverlight application will decrease significantly.”
The Telerik Assembly Minifier allows developers to choose a list of controls to be used in their Silverlight application, analyzes the dependencies between them and then produces a new set of optimized assemblies. The new assemblies contain only the selected controls and the resources used by them. Using the Assembly Minifier Tool, developers can keep the downloaded size of their application to the bare minimum. Currently the tool supports only Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and is in Beta stage.
The preview of the upcoming Q2 release also features 5 new additions to the RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF suites: RadDataFilter, RadDataPager, RadBusyIndicator, RadDateTimePicker and an improved RadTreeListView.
