    Keeping a Browser Window Open

    Greetings, testers. There's a question I see fairly frequently in the community forums and in the support channels, and it often looks something like this: "How can I keep my browser from closing when a test is done?" What it usually boils down to is that the person asking the question is really trying to do one of two things, at different times during their testing process. Test Creation "I want to be able to execute the test, leave the browser open when it completes, and the continue recording the next steps." That's a very normal way of building tests, ...

    Dusting off my keyboard to introduce the New Test Studio

While the focus has always been and will remain on end to end testing – we’ve decided to split our offering into two solutions – one focused on functional test automation, and one focused on load testing. For those who want it all – fear not, we will continue ...

    Dynamic Frames? No Problem.

    Many sites and web applications are using iframe elements to create tabs or sections on the page which the user can enable/disable/move at will. These often are being created in such a way that putting an ID on each frame is difficult or not feasible. As each frame is created or destroyed, of course, the index of a given frame within the frames collection changes. These factors combine, making it very difficult for an automation framework to reliably locate elements within the frames. Beginning with the R2 release, Test Studio 2013 introduces Custom Tags for Frames, a way to ...

    Using Test Studio Load Testing With Mobile Clients

    Testing with mobile clients is difficult, but it’s an essential part of load testing applications today.  A large and ever-increasing percentage of application traffic comes from mobile devices, and the unique interactions and communication aspects of these devices has to figure into how we understand the load on the application. Test Studio 2013 R2 lets testers record test scripts on mobile devices and capture that traffic within Test Studio.  Those scripts can be managed like any other Test Studio script, and played back as a part of a load test.  Moreover, you can set the percentages of traffic from individual ...
