Hello.
We've recently started using Test Studio Ultimate, and so far the automatic testing seems fairly straight forward. We now want to create some automatic/hybrid tests that our manual testers can use while still "skipping the boring part" (logging etc).
Creating such a test is pretty simple: New manual test -> manual test steps -> select fast forward feature -> record the part you want the testers to be able to skip. Fair enough. However, there are a few issues we're having trouble with:
- When creating a manual test, you can add notes, screenshots and so on. This is a feature we like. Sadly, clicking the fast forward feature takes us to the interface for automatic tests, and there doesn't seem to be a way to return to the interface for manual tests. Is there a way to do that? Ideally, we'd prefer a situation where our developers can create the tests, but the testers still use primarily the manual test interface, as they're not going to use the recording feature.
- Statistics, results and reports seem to be exclusively based on test lists. For example, no reports ever appear in the "Report" section of Test Studio when manual tests are run. How can these features be configured for manual tests? We'd like keep historic data and full test reports for both manual and automatic tests. The closest we've got so far is the "save and exit" feature in the manual test, which allows a file to be created and then loaded into Test Studio. I suspect this could get quite messy in time with thousands of test files lying around.
Have a nice weekend.
Regards,
Svenn
