Starting Automation Using Telerik Testing Framework
- If you are using Visual Studio Team Test, please reference the Studio Team Test Using Visual topic.
- If you are using NUnit, please reference the setup Using NUnit topic.
- If you are not using NUnit or Visual Studio Team Test, you can still use Telerik Testing Framework from a Console Application, a Class Library, or a Windows Application. Simply follow the rest of the instructions below.
Note: For Visual Studio 2010, change the solution's "Target Framework" property to .NET Framework 3.5 or .NET Framework 4.0. The Client Profile Frameworks will not work.
Once Telerik Testing Framework is installed on the target machine, you can easily start using it from your .NET project by simply referencing the ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll (and ArtOfTest.Common.dll for version 2010 and older) file placed in your %InstallDir%. Those are the only dll's you need to reference to get the full functionality. To reference the Telerik library:
- Select your project in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, or start a new project.
- Right-click the References folder displayed in the solution and select 'Add Reference'.
- Navigate to the ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll installed on your machine in your %InstallDir%\bin folder.
- Select ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll (and ArtOfTest.Common.dll for version 2010 and older).
- Click OK to finish adding the needed references.
