	Editor's Note While I typically refer to our journey of the last 8 years or so as a roller-coaster ride, another analogy is better suited: that of surfing. The waves of opportunity keep coming in one after the other and we, as one of the surfers, are testing our skills and enjoying them. Surfing and business, like everything else, starts with many difficult and painful moments. In the beginning, you barely hang yourself on the board, you fall off too often, you hit yourself. After a lot of practice and perseverance, you start riding small waves. And then you constantly go for bigger and bigger ones. As the French proverb goes, "appetite comes with eating". Throughout the years, we have become better surfers and learned how to ride bigger waves. Today, we are on the verge of going out into new oceans and riding our biggest wave.

It comes in two different editions – a standalone edition for QA professionals, and a Visual Studio plug-in for developers wishing to perform functional testing themselves. Both editions use identical repositories and file formats, facilitating seamless collaboration between geographically diverse teams. Some more highlights on the new automated testing tools below: WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of developers doing testing.  Its tight integration with Visual Studio (including 2010 edition!), will allow you to generate tests directly in C# or VB.NET code, and also convert entire functional tests to unit tests. Moreover, the powerful test recorder will make you more productive than before. And most importantly, it comes with extremely competitive price, especially if you choose the new Ultimate collection bundle! WebUI Test Studio QA Edition is a click-and-play, lightweight automated testing tool that comes with a slick intuitive interface to help QA professionals automate any web scenario – AJAX, Silverlight, MVC, and more. The tool is extremely easy to use and radically boosts tester productivity through numerous proprietary tools and techniques: browser abstraction, tests reuse, web element abstraction, and more. To introduce the new testing tools and to help you get started, we have organized a couple of webinars: Introduction to WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition – Friday, April 23, @ 11am ET Register now Introduction to WebUI Test Studio QA Edition – Thursday, April 22, @ 11am ET Register now Visit Telerik Automated Testing section Watch videos Download Developer Edition trial Download QA Edition trial Introducing JustMock Beta - An Easy to Use Mocking Tool with Unlimited Capabilities Telerik’s commitment to .NET developer productivity has led us to the creation of JustMock, a tool that helps developers easily create object mockings in unit tests, saving them time and improving the quality of software testing. It does that by allowing them to perform fast and controlled code tests that are independent of external resources like databases, web services, or proprietary code. Unlike other mocking tools, JustMock doesn’t put constraints on what can be mocked allowing developers to work with objects traditionally inaccessible to mocking tools, such as sealed classes, non-virtual methods and properties, static classes, and static methods and properties. JustMock can also mock all classes and methods included in the MSCORLIB assembly, like DateTime and FileInfo, giving developers unprecedented ability to create maintainable unit tests. JustMock is tightly integrated in Visual Studio and MSBuild, which guarantees easy deployment and set up.  Furthermore the tool embraces the Arrange, Act, Assert (AAA) pattern for creating unit test mockings. This simple pattern makes it easy for developers to quickly and naturally mock objects in unit tests. To celebrate the launch of JustMock Beta we are giving away 500 licenses for the product’s commercial version, once it comes out. Learn more. We have also organized a special free webinar event on April 20th, to introduce you to JustMock’s many benefits and our plans for its future. Make sure you book your seat now.
