UI for JS & .NET to make your dev life easier. Added bonus: testing, debugging, reporting solutions & more. Let's chat!
About us
What do we do? Where do we begin? We build feature-rich, make-your-dev-life-easier UI components for your favorite .NET & JavaScript frameworks. Components for web, mobile, desktop, cross-platform - run your app wherever you want to. Who are we to stop you, after all. We are here simply to make it easier for you to build good, accessible, consistent-looking functional apps. Plus we would hate you spending your time on building grids and charts, instead of implementing awesome app logic and creating a robust final product with your code. So grab our components and focus your time on functionality. But can you really build good apps without testing them first? We think not really. Unless you're a complete genius, but we know we aren't. So we rely on building good testing practices and automated tests along the way. And we can help you do that, too. With Telerik Test Studio - our test automation platform for web, desktop, and responsive web apps. It sports one of the most intuitive visual test recording interfaces on the market and the industry's first patent-pending element find logic. We're super proud of it. We also believe in a holistic debugging & troubleshooting approach that is radically straightforward and intuitive. This is where the Fiddler family of products comes in. Fiddler is committed to delivering you successful outcomes and solving your pain points without sacrifice. And if you need an embedded .NET Reporting solution, we've got your back, too. Telerik Reporting lets you create, view, and export rich, beautiful, interactive, and reusable reports - everything a lightweight, feature-complete and embedded reporting tool should do. We do some other things, too, but you'll have to go check it all about at www.telerik.com. And if a question pops up, leave us a comment or reach out.

AI didn’t just change how we write code – it changed how we build products. 👷 Join Alyssa Nicoll, Ed Charbeneau and Kathryn Grayson Nanz for our very first Discord Developer Roundtable to unpack everything dev tools in the age of AI! 🗓️ When: April 15 at 9 a.m. PST 📍 Where: Progress Labs Discord, link in the comments 🔔 How to join: Click 'Events' in Discord & choose "What we've learned from Designing Dev Tools in the age of AI" to register interest Let's dig together into the friction points of AI-driven development: 🤖 AI is best at getting us started: Where has AI helped you move from blank page to first draft faster? Where does it stop being helpful and start becoming misleading? 🤖 Clever ≠ Correct: Have you seen AI output that sounded right but wasn’t? How do you validate AI-generated code? 🤖 Fast isn’t free: Has AI changed how your team approaches reviews or testing? What guardrails feel essential right now? 🤖 AI belongs in the product — thoughtfully: Where have you seen AI integrated into tools in a way that reduced friction? And where has it felt forced? See you there!

The results from the Workflows in the Age of AI report are in! 🔬 If 2024 was about the collaboration gap & 2025 was the AI shockwave, 2026 will be about operationalization! We are moving away from "trying new tools" and toward building secure, agentic infrastructure and #AI-assisted governance. 🤖 Swipe through for the data to see how the design-to-dev landscape shifted this year & then explore the full Workflows in the Age of AI report, linked in the comments below! 👇

📢 The Workflows in the Age of AI report is here! 🎉 📖 In 2025, AI didn’t arrive – it became the norm. The question was no longer if teams should use AI – but where it helps, where it creates extra work, and how to keep quality intact as speed increases. 🤔 The data tells a clear story: ➡️ 84% of teams now use or experiment with AI ➡️ But only 21% report truly efficient workflows ➡️ And 40% still fix low-quality AI output Take a look back with us at how AI reshaped collaboration in 2025 – and what it means for teams, tools and roadmaps in 2026.
