Since we have Rad controls throughout our web applications, I'm trying out the trial version of WebUI Test Studio (Developer Edition) to see if it will work for all of our testing needs on these applications. So far (after creating several tests), I'm quite impressed, but I do have a point of confusion/frustration that I cannot find any documentation or forum entry addressing.
I one test for our login page. I also have a series of tests that test the functionality of various other pages and I've set it up so that I first call the login page test, then go to the tests of the other pages. It works very well, MOST of the time.
I find that I can often run the test (chain of tests) successfully for several hours, modifying as I go, but when I close my Visual Studio (I'm using 2010 Ultimate) and reopen the solution later, or the next day, the same test that did work, no longer works. Most of the time is fails on the login page test so it can't go to the children test(s).
To troubleshoot why the successful test fails, I've tried a variety of things (including closing and reopening VS) but I've not come up with what is causing this and what the solution is.
I'm new enough at testing that I'm sure I'm just not understanding something simple, but does anyone have any advice or suggestions for me?
