Telerik provides UI testing for Silverlight


By David Worthington
December 17, 2009 — 
Telerik, a component maker, has expanded its WebUI Test Studio to provide automated user interface testing for Silverlight.

WebUI Test Studio 2, released on Dec. 10, is the result of collaboration between Telerik and quality assurance software developer ArtOfTest.

The testing software, which costs US$2,499 per machine, offers the same product features for Silverlight as it previously did for ASP.NET AJAX, said Todd Anglin, Telerik’s chief evangelist.

A UI object model allows QA professionals to target a specific element in Silverlight, Anglin said. A 3D elements viewer provides a “fly-out element selector,” he added. “It is easy to peel back the layers in a codeless, visual way.”

WebUI has integrated translators for Telerik’s Telerik RadControls for Silverlight.
There is likewise integrated support for testing on several major browsers, now including Apple’s Safari.

The testing engine abstracts away differences among competing browsers so that developers only need to write a single test that is executed against each supported browser, Anglin explained.

WebUI is built on top of the WebAii Testing Framework, a free code-based solution developed by the companies.

The difference between WebUI Test Studio and the framework is that WebUI is a “visual point-and-click-exercise,” whereas developers need to write code against an API to create UI tests for the framework, Anglin explained.
