Hi,

I want to do the following in one test:
Silverligth Application, open in IE, navigate to a site, login, search for something in a search box

The problem is that it works the most times, but sometimes it does not even open the IE Window, then I get the message, that the element cannot be found (the login box to type the username in). So, the message is clear, that it cannot type in when it cannot find the textbox, but why is the window not always there?

Can I do something so stabilize this?
Do you know that phaenomenom?

We cannot reproduce it, its just there sometimes, but it kills all usefull statements about the modules we test, because everyone sees, that the test fails and stops working, but it is not a problem of the module but of the testenvironment.

Would be very good if you know something helpfull here.
Best regards,
Adriane

Hi,

This is a somewhat convoluted request, but I'll do my best to describe it!

I am trying to test a section of our app, and we are using the Rad Treeview control which has been slightly modified to incorporate some extra functionality. From what I can see, on the front end the treeview is built using a series of divs and spans, most of which use the same classes. I am trying to find particular nodes in the treeview but our modifications pass id's (which are randomly generated) to the particular nodes, so I cannot use these for finding elements.

A sample of code containing the elements I am trying to find is below. In particular I am trying to find the span with the id thisSpan_randomId. All of the specific attributes of this element are shared with other objects in the DOM.


Using the Find Element dialog, I can locate the parent of the element I am trying to find using TextContent is exactly TS Test Region, but the child has no particular identifiers that I can use that are not already shared with other elements on the page.

Is there a way I can find this child element (with no unique identifiers) by first finding the parent (with unique identifiers)?

Hopefully this makes a bit of sense!

Cheers,

Lachlan

Hello,

How I can find an element among the same elements on the page (Silverlight app)? Recording the clicking those elements I can see that Telerik TS recognizes them using XamlPath. But for me it is not reliable way of identification.
Could you advise please, probably there is functionality which allows to define parent object and then find childs in it?

Thank you,
Vitaliy

Hi -

I have two tests in the project, Test1 and Test2.
The Test1 is started first in web browser (Silverlight app) and then IE closed when the Test1 is completed and new IE instance is being started for the Test2.
But I want to continue with Test2 from where the Test1 was finished. I don't want to close IE and start new one. How to attain this?

Many thanks,
Vitaliy

I believe I've configured the load test controller and reporter correctly on my machine. All services in "Test Studio Services Configuration" started successfully. The scheduling and reporting databases were created on my SQL Server. However, after I added a new load test, the "Computer" drop down list under "Controller and Reporter" is always empty! I am stuck. Please help!

Hi,

Hello,

Is there a way to turn this setting off?  I use the 'Run from Here' method to execute a handful of steps that I just created.  I have never needed to continue recording when the 'Run from Here' has completed, and I don't see myself using it during construction.  I would imagine that every Telerik user (at least once) has continued on without clicking the Pause Recording button, unintentionally, followed by a number of expletives!

Let me know you think...thanks!
Alan

Hi,

I've seen the example of how to access SQL database from the code, which would work perfectly fine. One thing I don't like thought, is defining the connection string in the code. I'd rather have access to a connection string property of my datasource which is defined in the project. Is this currently possible?

Regards.

Hi,

I have problem with launch recorder at Windows Vista. I installed Test Studio on Win7 and there is no problem, but on Vista machine, I have get "Unable to launch recorder" error. I have tried almost every solution recommendation in this forum but none of them solved my problem.

Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could help me with my test design in relation to a navigation bar which is on every page.  Basically on our website which I am going to be running through automation, I'd like to creat some generic functionality to navigate around the site by passing through the link text to click on.  So far I have tried using record and play ( please bear in mind that I have come from a fully coded automation system prior to test studio ) but found that the element repository will become very bloated if I have to add an element per navigation link under every single page, especially as the users of the site are able to dynamically create there own pages with navigation links. If you see the attached image "NavigationBar.jpg", this is the navigation bar which displays on every page in it's most basic default form.

The best way I have come up with so far is to create a coded step as follows:


I feel this would keep the functionality re-usable.  To test it I removes the productNavLinkToClick  argument and created a local data table with one cell/column which contained "hotel" replacing the HtmlFindExpression with Data[0].ToString() so I know the code itself works, but I am struggling to make it re-usable by the QA Manual testers who are not code literate.  I was hoping either for them to be able to just drag and drop my coded step and add the value of productNavLinkToClick themselves, or for me to intelligentally work out what page I am on and need to get to and call into this coded step accordingly.

I would be grateful if you could let me know if I am on the right track for a maintenance free navigation test or whether there is some better design?  I would be happy to tweak what I have done if required.

Please let me know if you require any further information

Many Thanks
Shane
