My company is a .net shop and our data is very Dynamic.  Each time we access a form on a web page, that page creates what we call a “Recid”. When I record an automated test and then re-run that test, I get an error saying “element  was not found”. I am guessing this is because the page now has a Recid different than the one when I first recorded the test. How can I get around this? I need the automated test to except whatever the newest Recid will be.
 
Example.
 
When I recorded an automated test, the Recid=15266 (see below). The next time I access the same web-page, this Recid will equal 15227 (or even higher number)

I am testing out  Test Studio  trial to see if this is a product my company may want to purchase. However, the above issue would be a show stopper for us.
  
Also, is there a way to ignore pop ups when recording UI recorded tests?

Hello,

   My version is 2012.2.1317.0.

My question is simple. Is it possible to call a test as a substep in a test? i.e. I have several automated tests that need to have the same workflow executed in them. I write that workflow as a test called 'basic workflow test'. I create a new test. In that new test is it possible to call the 'basic workflow test' as a step? This would save me time and reduce maintenance. 

   If I have posted this question in the wrong section and it should be put in the forums, please let me know. 

I have a telerik licensed tool. full version. I was searching for keyword driven framework online but couldnt find any document.

Can you please help me understand if Telerik supports keyword driven approach. 
If so please send me the appropriate link. Thanks.

Hi!
In our webapplication we have a jquery search field in which letters are entered, and a list of peoples names are listed that contains the letters entered. I.e. if I enter "w" a list of people having "w" within one of their names are listed.
The list is not appearing when I replay the test, though. I have read the documentation on jquery controllers both on Teleriks help pages, and in this forum, but it is not helping me out.
This is the method that should "trigger" the list:

Actions.SetText(Pages.BestillAvbestillRollerFor0.TxtSokSearch, "w")

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it work?

Hello -

Question: Is there a recommended approach to testing values returned in an SSRS report?

Context: I have just started evaluating Test Studio for use with my company's client extranet.  The site makes heavy use of SQL Server 2012 SSRS reports.  I want to be able to run a report and validate the results that come back by spot checking key values returned in the report table.  These tables are often thousands (if not tens of thousands) of rows long by dozens of columns wide.  Consequently, I can't create reliable ID's for each data point.

When I run the Test Studio recorder, select a few cells in the SSRS results, then run the test, I typically get errors indicating that Test Studio was "Unable to locate element."  Furthermore, it says that it was found by backup search using the xpath value.  I can resolve the failure by going to the "Resolve Failure" tab, removing the existing filters, and replacing them with the xpath suggestion.  From there, the test will work.

The down side is that this seems fairly fragile in nature.  The xpath for most data points looks something like this:

xpath=/html[1]/body[1]/form[1]/div[5]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div[3]/div[2]/table[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[4]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/div[1]/span[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[5]/td[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[52]/td[6]/div[1]

To say that's ugly is an understatement, and it seems like it wouldn't take much of a page update to throw it off.  Plus, because I need to add many data point validations, I really don't want to go into Test Studio, create all the tests, and then run each one over and over until I resolve all the failures by following the steps above.

Restating the Question: Is there a recommended approach to testing values returned in an SSRS report?

Thank you in advance for any direction you can provide!

How can i get snapshots of the web application during the test execution?

HI,

did anyone used new internal build , which claims that the test list issue is resolved . I tried using the new internal build, but still not able to execute more than 4 test cases in a list. 
our project is of size 700 mb and i cannot share the project due to confidentiality.

Pls let us know if any other way to resolve the issue that i am facing ? This has been show stopper for us and the entire team is spending 10X more time in running each tests .

Pls help !!

Hi,

We would like to ask you for support for Telerik Test Studio and Microsoft Team Foundation Server integration.

We have noticed that if we keep our project syncronized with TFS, Test Studio is extremely slow when loading and, from time to time, it closes unexpectedly.

Because of this, we keep Test Studio unsyncronized with TFS, which has reduced the sudden crashes, , but is also impractical and untenable as we want to
track the project changes properly in TFS.

Is this a known issue? Can you help with a workaround for the problem? If this is covered in another thread, I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
Jakob

Hi Telerik team

We recently purchased a license for Telerik, after which I
began organising the files I had created during the trial period, to prepare
for subsequent testing.

This means I've been moving some files around, and now I’ve experienced the same issue twice, namely that after
moving a number tests from one folder to another, one of the elements recorded
in TS disappears completely, thus breaking a number completed and functioning
tests. Also in both separate cases it has been the exact same element that went
missing ('Item1Textbox'  -  I've attached an example from the error log). 

I can understand that moving files around could break some
functionality, and that I might have to refresh some steps in TS, but I don’t
understand how a specific recorded element can spontaneously disappear? 

We’ve found that re-recording the element once in a basic
test will repair the broken steps, but could you help guide me to avoid this
going forward? Could it be a bug in TS that needs further looking into?

Thank you,
Jakob
