Telerik Introduces Free Web Testing Framework for ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight
Posted by VINKAS Solutions Madurai Tamilnadu India in New Releases on July 16th, 2009
WebAii Testing Framework enables developers to automate AJAX or Silverlight applications in all major browsers and simplifies testing of RadControls
NEWTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Telerik, the leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, today announced a new addition to its portfolio – WebAii Testing Framework (Beta), a product by ArtOfTest. WebAii Testing Framework is a free web automation framework that helps developers and Quality Assurance professionals easily write functional tests for AJAX and Silverlight applications. The framework offers one consistent application programming interface (API) that allows users to automate the user interface (UI) of web applications as part of regression testing. Besides Silverlight support, a key benefit of WebAii Testing Framework is the browser abstraction, which allows developers to create a test once and execute it against all major browsers.
“WebAii Testing Framework has been designed in partnership with ArtOfTest to address developers’ challenges in testing modern web applications. Many people are not running functional testing because the tools are difficult, expensive, and lag behind from a technological standpoint,” said Svetozar Georgiev, Telerik CEO. “The WebAii Testing Framework is free, supports complex AJAX scenarios on all major browsers, and most importantly supports Silverlight! Telerik’s WebAii Testing Framework removes the barriers to functional UI testing.”
The WebAii Testing Framework has been specifically built to cater to users’ advanced testing needs. AJAX-based applications can be easily automated including complex UI actions like Drag’n’drop, Hover, Right-click, and more. Waiting on document object model changes is also supported as well as the option to invoke JavaScript functions from test code.
In addition to testing AJAX-based applications, Telerik’s new WebAii Testing Framework also incorporates Silverlight Extension which makes automating Silverlight applications finally possible. It has a UI object model that mimics the complete list of UI XAML elements in Silverlight allowing developers to access everything as if inside the Silverlight application. Beside the ability to perform basic automation actions like clicking, moving and setting text, it also gives access to all properties such as brushes, borders and even transform matrices.
Telerik’s WebAii Testing Framework is integrated with special wrappers for Telerik RadControls for AJAX and Silverlight exposing rich functionality that helps developers save time and effort when writing functional tests, even for very complex web applications built with the Telerik controls.
“The addition of the WebAii Testing Framework to the Telerik portfolio of .NET tools and components is another step in our strategy of serving the developer community in more aspects of the application development lifecycle,” continued Georgiev.
Availability
WebAii Testing Framework is available for free download at Telerik Testing Tools section of its website or as a part of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadControls for Silverlight licenses. General availability of the free WebAii Testing Framework will be available later in the second quarter 2009.

The Industry’s Leading AJAX Components
Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX includes 27 major and 35 helper controls with proven reliability that will help you build elegant UIs. From the leading AJAX data grid to the HTML editor used even by Microsoft, you will have all the building blocks for creating rich, SEO-friendly, high-performance Enterprise web applications.
Why Choose
True ASP.NET AJAX Controls
Telerik RadControls are developed on top of Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX, and do not introduce yet another AJAX implementation. As a result you can enjoy all the benefits of the industry-standard Microsoft technology. Your apps will be as fast, as secure, and as memory efficient as is Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX.
Familiar ASP.NET AJAX API
No need to learn another vendor’s API – if you have worked with ASP.NET AJAX, you know how to work with RadControls and you can enjoy the product’s extensive client-side JavaScript API without a steep learning curve. Our product use the same events, naming and base methods. We are simply extending it to provide an even richer experience.
ASP.NET AJAX or Silverlight
RadControls allow you to bring RIA richness to your ASP.NET applications and benefit from the amazing capabilities of the Silverlight platform. You can easily embed compiled Silverlight content with advanced vector interfaces to existing applications without reworking your apps from scratch. Check out our integration demos of RadChart for Silverlight and RadUpload for Silverlight running in ASP.NET environment. Watch a webinar on how to use RadControls for Silverlight in ASP.NET
Integrated jQuery
RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX includes the jQuery library and supports it natively. jQuery is used for advanced visual effects as well as for html, css and JavaScript manipulation. jQuery is also an important element of our client-side databinding and we use it for advanced calling of PageMethods and WebServices.
Wide Cross-browser Support
RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX provides a consistent experience across all the major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome. If an update or a new browser is coming, we will be the first to support it! See browser compatibility table
Semantic Rendering
Telerik’s AJAX UI controls use advanced CSS rather than HTML tables in order to keep the page output clean and minimal. The semantic rendering not only improves the responsiveness of your applications but also makes your web pages more easily understandable by screen readers (for visually impaired users) and thus increases accessibility. There’s another benefit coming from the semantic markup of our UI controls – the HTML is much more search engine (SEO) friendly.
Visual Appeal
RadControls come with several uniform skins to ensure the design consistency of your applications. From website to Intranet to Web 2.0 application you can benefit from aesthetically looking themes and skins. And if that’s not good enough, you can always customize them.
Wealth of Technical Resources
A product is as good as its supporting resources. We have amassed a wealth of technical documentation, free courseware, videos, interactive training sessions, KB articles, code library items and many other support resources to aid you in your quest for better web UIs.
Full .NET 3.5 Support
The Telerik AJAX controls fully leverage .NET 3.5 and come with built-in support for LINQ, LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource, ADO.NET DataServices, MVC and Dynamic Data. While RadControls allow you to adopt the latest technologies they also fully support .NET 2.0. Watch a video on using Entity Framework with RadControls.
Exceptional Performance
Achieving performance is typically one of the biggest challenges in web development. By selecting RadControls you will deliver unrivaled performance even in the most demanding Enterprise applications. RadControls features numerous capabilities to improve your performance such as built-in AJAX, built-in JSON, ViewState and HTTP compression, client-side databinding, efficient rendering with sprites and semantic HTML, script combining, and many more.
RadControls Run on Linux
For all Linux developers, who want to build rich AJAX applications to run in Linux environment, Telerik AJAX UI controls is the first UI suite to work beyond Windows. RadControls fully support the Mono runtime environment, an open source .NET framework sponsored by Novell, tailored for development of Linux applications. See online demos
Rich Client-side Capabilities
Web 2.0 is all about rich experiences in the browser, client-side binding and editing, disconnected apps, mash-ups, etc. RadControls delivers a client-side API that is nearly identical to its rich server-side API. Using the client-side features alongside with client-side databinding, WebServices and lightweight JSON calls, you can deliver unmatched user experiences and take the browser experience to another level.

Cloud Support: Amazon S3, Windows Azure and More
Using LINQ, REST service calls and the client-side databinding capabilities of RadControls, you can consume cloud-based data and write back the changes to the cloud. And if you wish, you can go a step further and create a completely cloud-based application with Telerik UI controls. Read a blog post on deploying RadControls to Azure
Microsoft ASP.NET MVC – ready
With RadControls you no longer have to stick with simplistic UIs in your MVC Views. Telerik UI controls support Microsoft MVC and allow you to combine the testability and separation of concerns of the emerging technology with the richness of traditional ASP.NET server controls. See demo or visit our MVC Forums
