Introducing Telerik WebUI Test Studio, Public beta available now

The wait is over. Telerik today is announcing a brand new product that will be added to our growing line of .NET developer tools in Q1 2009: Telerik WebUI Test Studio. Created in partnership with ArtOfTest, WebUI Test Studio is a next-generation tool for creating automated web UI tests. It integrates directly with Visual Studio (no extra programs required). It enables, easy, interactive web UI test recording (and maintenance). It creates tests that can target multiple browsers (currently IE and FF, soon Safari and Chrome). And best of all, it can intelligently test the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. If you are already doing automated web UI testing today, this tool is going to dramatically simplify your workflow and make testing complex controls like the RadControls quick and painless. If you're new to automated web UI testing, this tool is going to finally make what seemed like an impossibly difficult task (automating tests of a website's UI) point-and-click easy. To get started understanding this new tool, be sure to check out all of the videos on Telerik TV (with more to follow very soon). In fact, the intro video is probably the best place to start. We hope that you enjoy this new offering and addition to the Telerik line-up. Combined with the RadControls for your UI and OpenAccess ORM for your data layer, WebUI Test Studio helps you automate another aspect of your developer tasks so that you can focus the majority of your time on the code that makes your (or your clients) money. Keep your RSS tuned-in here for more details and watch Q1 for the official release. 'Til then, download the Telerik WebUI Test Studio Beta and let us know what you think!
