I have a question on how TS - Load Tests operate.

I understand that TS is using direct HTML code to server instead of using a 'standard scripted browser playback' approach. I can see the pro/cons for each. One limitation that I see is that the direct html method might not capture nor reproduce the same effect...

so my question is how does TS - Load work in this example. Will it only measure and apply user load to Server A, or A and B?
in this scenario - Server A and Server B are not on the same network.

- A User keys in and searches for data based on parameters using a Web application front end in server 'A'
- Then web application sends that data to another application running on server 'B' which compiles the information
- compiled data is then housed in server 'B' and the web application running server 'A' is sent an acknowledgment screen
- User then either excepts or rejects the acknowledgment screen, if rejected restart from beginning; if accepted server 'A' tells server 'B' to generate the data based on all parameters stored in server 'B'.
- Once server 'B' completes the process an acknowledgment page is sent back to server 'A' and user can then push the data to server 'C'

Hi Telerik,

I'm using visual studio 2010 Version 10.0.30319.1 with Telerik version 2012.2.1420.0 (trial).
My machine configurations are Win 7/64 bit
I'm trying to automate calculator (C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe)
But each time I added the WPF application path I'm getting this error -> "It is not a valid Wpf application"
Any reason behind this? 

I am attempting to set-up email notification for when my schedule test runs are complete.  I am receiving emails at the designated address however they have no information on my test run only :Auto-generated by Telerik Test Studio (2012.2.1420.0) on: 5/2/2013 12:44:40 PM" displays in the body of the email.  I also have two bin files attached to the email but these appear to just be the pass fail icons when opened.  
I have attached the received email as well as a screenshot of my SMTP set-up.  I would like to know how I can recieve an email with test results in it.  I have checked the online documentation and that UI looks completely different than the current UI so I am at a loss. 

 

I am running Telerik Test Studio version 2012.2.1420.0 and I do not see support for Opera.  Is this available, am I missing it, or is Opera not supported with this release?

Thanks in advance!

HI

Is rolling back the database the best option, so the database is always clean before each run of a Regression pack or is there a Better way?

I am running Safari 5.1.5 and Telerik Test Studio 2012.4.1420.0.  When I try to run any tests with Safari, it tells me I need to install the Telerik Extensions for Safari.  When I click ok, the following screen tells me "Safari can't install this extension.  An error occurred while installing the extension "Telerik Test Studio Automation Extension."  I get the same error when I try to install it manually from the file in the server.  Do I need to be an admin to install this extension?  What am I doing wrong?  Can someone attach the latest Safari extension that I can try again?

Thanks in advance!

I searched on the site for information on getting full reports of a run based on a test list that was run, but haven't been able to find any updated information. I did find a ticket from a while back that mentioned it was something that was being looked at, but it's dated 3 years ago and no replies since.

Basically I want to run a test list, and export all of the tests that ran, plus all of the test steps for each of these tests. Is it possible to do?
I've been able to save the tests as excel docs and if I go to each of the tests and open those I can export the test steps as wekk, but this can get tedious if the test list contains hundreds of tests. 

Is there another way to do this? 

Additionally, is there a setting that allow for saving the test run data to a specific location? I was unable to find anything on it, and would like to save these files to a networked device.

Thanks for any help on this.

I am interested to know how to verify whether or not a control exists on a web page without throwing an error.

For instance, when I click Button A, Button B is created, but until created, Button B doesn't exist. How would I check to see if Button B exists without failing if it does not?

I have tried Verify Exists & Verify ExistsNot, but both fail with an "Unable to locate element" and fail the entire test.

Please help.

Hi, 
 
I have some questions around access to and maintenance of the Scheduled data in the DB.

We have been getting a lot of communication dropped error messages in the Test List log at the point of Publishing The Results after a big Test List run has completed.  Firstly I didn't understand exactly where it was "Publishing?", "What?" and "To?". So I cleaned up all the Results folders on the execution/scheduled server ( currently the same machine ) and found that wasn't the case.  I then thought about the DB which gets created when you first configure a Scheduled Server and found the tables which contains the data which gets displayed in the Run Results Viewer.  I then found that in just a few weeks of running Test Lists, the dbo.test_result_d_b sits at 750,000 rows and is currently 5GB in size.  I believe this is causing crashes when trying to synch results to the server and in turn we on occasion have had to reboot the scheduling server to get it up and running again as a result of this

1. Is there a way to delete this data via the Test Studio UI?
2. Should we be running some kind of maintenance jobs on here to purge this data?
3. Also is it possible to delete all the data from the dbo.run_result_d_b table rather than via the Test Studio UI or at least A Select All as sometimes deleting all data is required and taking an absolute age to do it 1 page at a time!! Currently even once per week we can have a build up of 30 - 50 test lists per day which results in 30 odd pages to go through.

Currently I'm manually updating the hosts file before executing our regression script over multiple servers and environments.  This creates a problem because the browser opens before the hosts file is copied for the specific environment and could point to the wrong server.  Is there a way to prevent the browser from opening at runtime and only open after the initial copy script executes?  Seems like my only option here is to call the script from a .bat file and update the settings before execution.

Thanks!

Edit1: Guess I have to just call it from a bat file.  This is a feature I really miss from QTP, how about adding this to an enhancements list.
