Multi-Thread solution

[Przemek]

Hi,

we need to create a system, that is a WebService. For every WebService call that we receive, we need to instantiate a new browser, make a GET request to some external system and read the data from returned HTML.

According to other threads on the forum, Testing Framework is not thread-safe.

But is it possible to use it in thread-safe manner? If yes, how it should be synchronized? I am worried that even if we implement some synchronization in our code, internals of the framework will anyway fail in multi-thread environment?

Hello Przemek,

As per my understanding, your scenario should be covered by the Testing Framework and it is thread safe. That said, it will be very helpful, if you can share more details about the test scenario that you want to automate.

I am curious to know where did you get that information on the forum, so I can review it and add a comment, if necessary. I will try to clear things out and prevent any potential confusion for anyone who is reading it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Actually we are using WebAii1.1. It is some legacy application, and we can not upgrade it.

Information I have from here:

Hello Przemek,

It is indeed an old version of the Testing Framework and it is not thread safe. The forum post is over 9 years old and there are certainly many changes to the framework since then. The information there remains true for the version you have.

I understand that this is a legacy application and you need to update to the latest version of Telerik Testing Framework, to get all changes and improvements.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

was there any changes to the API between 1.1 and current version?

Or can you point me to a release notes list so that I can check this?
