Progress Telerik Test Studio is a Windows-based software test automation tool for web and desktop that supports functional testing,[1] software performance testing, load testing[2] and RESTful API testing[3] developed by Telerik.[4] The tool ships with a plugin for Visual Studio and a standalone app that use the same repositories and file formats. Test Studio supports HTML, AJAX, Silverlight, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, WPF, Angular, React, ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET Core, and Blazor. Any application that runs on .NET 5, .NET Core, .NET 6 or higher can be automated with Test Studio.[5] Test Studio supports cross-browser testing for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Chrome.

Product

Test Studio's standalone IDE comes with an integrated visual record and playback test recorder that allows users to create test steps based on mouse-click interaction with the UI elements in the browser.[6] Automated test cases can be further enhanced going into the test script and performing advanced in-code actions.[7] The Visual Studio extension allows users to use Test Studio's automation features within Microsoft Visual Studio.[8]

Functional Testing

The tool provides test automation[9] support for web and desktop applications - Silverlight, WPF, AJAX, HTML,[10] WPF, and MVC, JavaScript calls, dynamic page synchronization, client-side behaviours, as well as support for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012.

RESTful API Testing

Test Studio's API testing allows testing REST protocols. Test Studio supports the creation of verifications against all common API requests based on point and click.[11]

Load Testing

Existing Test Studio functional tests or Fiddler logs can be used to create load tests. Test Studio's load agents are making use of multi-core, hyper-threaded CPUs in order to generate a high user load.[12]

Responsive Web Testing

Test Studio supports testing of responsive web applications to check the UI under test against different form factors.[13]
