I’m running into an issue and was wondering if anyone might shed some light on possible solutions I might be missing.  We’re using the framework not as a testing tool but as an entry tool to automate the entry of information into our Silverlight application.  I wanted to mention this as the nature of what we are doing plays into the number of iterations any given task must run through before the set is complete.

The set of commands run successfully for the first 60 – 70 items but at that point WebAii begins to have trouble communicating with Internet Explorer.  After some investigation it appears that at the point of trouble IE’s memory use has ballooned to over a gig.  By doing nothing but logging in and then looping back and forth between two Silverlight URLs in our app I can observe the issue, but attempting the same on other Sites doesn’t seem to recreate it.  For the moment I’m calling Refresh() on the browser as that seems to drop the memory use down to normal levels.

I have a theory on what’s happening and was wanted to see if I may be correct and if so, if there are any better alternatives to simply calling Refresh().  Our application is composed of one XAP file which houses a shell which fills itself with content which is housed in multiple other XAP files.  As I am usually interacting only with one particular section, it is possible that actions are performed on that section and then an action resulting in a navigate is performed while the framework is still busy in the background injecting its connection into other XAPs which the Application is still trying to load.  My guess is that due to the navigate occurring before the framework is really ready that it is forgetting about any connections/objects/etc that it was in the process of constructing and that memory is never reclaimed until IE’s active in-memory cache is cleared by the refresh (or process termination).

I am waiting until the Browser reports ready, and have gone so far as to implement a request/response counter/matcher using the WebAii proxy to supplement Browser ready checks but neither are accurately representing whether the Silverlight application is actually ready with all the sub-components loaded.

Is there a better way to determine Silverlight application readiness?  I’d like to try and avoid performing element find checks to determine module loading as I would like to be able to utilize the same check code everywhere in the app.  If this is problematic, is there a way to tell the framework to clear or otherwise refresh itself or the disconnected objects it may have floating in IE's memory without doing a full browser refresh?

Any insight or help is much appreciated.

Hello. I've recorder test from WebUI test studio. It records me like that:


It is working from WebUI studio. Then I moved this code to Visual Studio 2010. The automation library was connected. But


are marked as incorrect. After trying to build project I receive the next:


Please help me.

Once the data source is binded to a test, we are able to control the data pointer using the below code.

var row = this.ExecutionContext.ActiveDataRows[1];
var dataString = row["Col1"];

But we are unable to control the data iteration to a particular row, say if we have 5 rows in an excel sheet and using the above code we can make the tool to start from particular row but not control to only particular row.

Impact: Due to this, we are unable to execute a specific row (Only One) out of 10 records available in the test data sheet.

We tried using the in-bulit "Extract" option, but in the code view nothing is added. Only below comment is generated.

Hence, we require code (or) steps to use this extract feature where any application values are extracted to Output Results Sheet.

We tried to use the below code from forum to bind data sheet dynamically, but not working.

hello


i am currently evaluating your product and so far i am very pleased with my results.
As i learned from some forum posts it is not possible to run multiple instances on one machine at the same time.
Because i need to verify correct user interaction and calculation i need to perform some custom actions at specific times, then continue with usual recorder/user actions  and validate the results.

i was able to reference my assemblies and create some code to write data to the DB but i also need to interact with the cache of the webserver.

i came up with the following ideas to cover my needs (as i didn't find anything about it in the forums)
1. use a dummy button to start actions to the webserver and call methods that perform the needed actions. this solution has the drawback of a postback which could change behavior of the application.
2. create a javascript function that starts an ajax request to the server and passes arguments from the Testing methods to webserver. i can then decide which actions to perform based on the arguement - for example clearing the cache, writing to DB and so on.
3. calling a web service

i would prefer solution 2 or something similar.
if i need to perform an action at a specific testing step i would use something like
Actions.InvokeScript(@"InitiateTestingStep("" + userid + "","" + TestHelperMethods.ClearCache + "");");
to pass the userid and an enumeration value.
the InitiateTestingStep method performs a server callback.
the function on the server checks for the second paramater to decide which action to perform.

is this a suitable approach to solve my problem or is there a built-in mechanism?

Hi,
I got issue while selecting the value/item from the drop down box.
My Combo box contain name of the projects.
XYZ, YZ, ZAD
When i am trying to select the project XYZ (0th position in drop down box) from drop down box, Telerik is recording the action  as follwing -
Click Item0button
But if new project name is added in dropdown i.e. ABC which will automatically assigned to 0th position of the Drop down box.
When i run the Recorded stpes. Telerik is choosing / Selecting the 0th item from the drop down i.e. ABC instead of XYZ.

Thanks,
Madhav Jadhav

hello


i already created some tests which use a datasource and also pass it along to "sub-tests", meaning to tests which are executed as a step inside a test. to make my tests modular and use the same test with different data i would like to create a test structure as follows:

i have one big test case which consists of some usual teststeps, custom coded steps and sub-tests.
for example the overall Testcase "mastertest" starts with a subtest "Login" which simply performs a login with given credentials.
the login data is passed from the mastertest to the subtest.
after login i do some some navigation and then call  a subtest called "createCategory".
the "createCategory" performs some actions and uses also data from an excel file but i would like to specific which excel file to use for this specific call. the data for createCategory consists of multiple columns and 3 rows to excecute it 3 times with different data.  this behavior will be used again in createCategory to call another subtest and so on.

for my automatic tests to run i would prepare 3 excel files for the mastertest to cover 3 different use cases. i start the mastertest once which each excel file. depending on the data provided in the excel file different data is passed to the subtests.

Can i set the datasource for each test dynamically? if so could you provide me with a short example?
If this specific approach is currently not possible is there any other way to create modular test with various datasources?
the other option would be to create one test with one datasource, copy this test and exchange the datasource but this would be hard to maintain if tests need to be adapted/extended.

Hi,
I want to select from a drop down list using webAii, C#.
Initially the drop down is hidden. After clicking a radio button, drop down control becomes visible. It is set a default value. I need to select a differnt value from it.
Below is the html
<input type="hidden" name="firstnameId" value="" />
<select class="name_selector" name="firstnameId" id="namesetselector">                               
   <option class="name_selector_option" value="1">Sam</option>
   <option class="name_selector_option" value="2">Mark</option>
   <option class="name_selector_option" value="3">Sean</option>
</select>

The code I have written is,
HtmlSelect name = AB.Find.ByAttributes<HtmlSelect>("class=name_selector");
name.SelectByValue("3");

When I click the radio button and the drop down list becomes visible, by default the first option is selected. The above c# code that I have written actually selects the 3rd option in the drop-drown. Later on when I submit the page and open it, the option selected is the default one i.e. the first one. Is there a reason to this? When I do this operation manually it works fine.
Thanks
