Hi All,

 

I am using test studio 2012 , and trying to automate application in internet explorer 11 in windows 10.

when I run test case in my local machine it is working, but run the test case in one of my VMs which has window 10 and IE11, it is not working there, getting timeout error, it is launching an IE browser but not navigating to given URL.

 

Has anyone faced such issue before.

Hi Deepak,

I am sorry to hear about the encountered issue with Windows 10 and IE 11 on the VM. I have a few suggestions for you that might help you with this issue. Please find more details below.

1. Extract and run the attached file, which should add some important assemblies. Those assemblies come automatically with later version of the Testing Framework, but might be missing in older versions like 2012.
2. I noticed that you are using an older version of the Testing Framework from 2012. There are many improvements and fixes throughout the years and you can update to the latest Testing Framework.
3. Make sure that the tests are executing with full administrator level permissions. This is a requirement for the Testing Framework and especially for executing tests against Internet Explorer. Check that with the IT team on your end and configure the Windows users that is starting the tests to have full administrator permissions.
4. You can check the behavior of the test execution with new sample test that navigates to a publicly accessible application, like https://www.bing.com.

I hope the above suggestions will help you execute the tests on the VM and you can start executing the tests there as well.
