If you have 100 test cases of testing silverlight, each test needs to simulate users to go to Silverlight site and click using WebUI Test Studio. One test case needs 2 minutes. 100 test cases need 200 + minutes, which means 3 hours. In this situation, I would like know how you run those tests and can reduce your time in one machine. :)
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
Such a simple test case shouldn't take 2 minutes. Can you share more details about that test?
In fact the most slowly operation in Silverlight automation is loading the Silverlight site. If you launch new browser for each test and load the Silverlight plug-in yes, a bunch of test cases will take too much time. To improve that though there is a RecycleBrowser project setting you can switch on (turned on by default). The same settings are also embedded into the TestLists in WebUI Test Studio QA Edition so that you can configure some test lists as peer your needs. Please take a look at the Settings page from the documentation.
Best wishes,

Konstantin ,
Because when I convert webuitest studio to MS Test, the test cases will depend on the the waiting time. If I don't setup the waiting time, test cases fail.
For example, go to the site, click the listbox first, choose the suitable value on the listbox, ,click submit or cancel. Those buttons need waiting time. If we don't setup the time, the test case fail and say :Wait for condition has timed out.
Even I setup the euqal waiting time, Wait for condition has timed out sometimes. That's why I say it takes many minutes to finish one test case. 50 test cases need 100+ minutes. Time consuming. :(
I don't know how your team tests those scenario so quickly.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
Just to add quickly, about how may test steps are associated per test? And are your user interactions doing alot of Silverlight page element loading and updates (things like loading or updating charts or grids)?
Also, would it be possible to merge any of the tests in the test list so they do more per test? And please also try using the RecycleBrowser property so tests use the same browser and avoid Silverlight load times.

Nelson,
Merging the tests should be a good idea. But usually timeout is the issue. So we need to extend the sleep time.
Thanks so much! :)

Hi again Ray,
Unfortunately, we would need more detail on your tests in order to suggest things you can try.
Could you send us video capture of a test or group of tests running that are taking the amount of time you mentioned to complete?
I use Jing, but you can use any video capture you want.
