Overview on Telerik Test Framework

What is Telerik Test Framework?

Telerik’s Test Studio is a tool with record/replay capability for automation. The Test Studio’s underlying Testing Framework also provides the ability for QA / developers to write UI tests with most of the common unit testing frameworks like NUnit, MSTest etc.

This framework lets you write code-only tests and exercise the full functionality of the testing platform.

Background:

WebAii is a web automation testing framework, originally developed by ArtOfTest, now provided as a free framework by Telerik. This is very similar to other existing browser automation tools such as Selenium (even QTP). However, unlike Selenium, it is not an open source tool – it is developed and supported by Telerik. The tool is completely free to use (with a paid support option) – and a paid for version of this product is the “Test Studio”, which provides rich UI to record and playback test cases.

Features:

• As Telerik Testing Framework is fully integrated within Visual Studio Team System, it leverages functionalities such as test case management and execution, source control, execution, and reporting by using Microsoft TFS.
• Testing Framework exposes numerous properties and methods to easily build non-brittle, maintainable functional tests 
• Set implicit and explicit waits, test drag-n-drop and hovers, dynamic page elements, complex animations, generic and custom UI controls, and more. 
• Expand your browser compatibility testing to all the latest major browsers: IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari without ever changing your test case code. 
• The Framework is a pure .NET stack that requires only one DLL with no dependencies on any third party tools.

TestStudio Vs TestFramework

Telerik Testing Framework is the foundation. It provides all the base functionality used by Test Studio. Test Studio is GUI.
