Our development team is about to do a re-write of a Silverlight application which has a lot of drag and drop functionality.
Before they get started I would like to give them guidance as to how they should identify objects consistently to make it easy for the test studio tool to test drag and drop functionality.

My main concern is when there are multiple drag-able objects that could be dropped in a number of similar objects on the screen.

I want to make sure Test Studio is going to be able to identify7 the correct object to drag and the correct destination to drop the object.

Example.
5 Person icons could be dropped in any seat in 2 separate vehicles in any of the seats of those 2 vehicles.

Hi, i'm assigned with a task to select a web automation tool
for our company and currently evaluating Telerik Test Studio.

I recorded a web test using test studio and during the recording
there was a scenario where i had to select an option from a drop 
down menu. While recording, I was able to select any option within 
that menu and proceed with the recording.
But the problem came up when running the recoreded test. The 
option i selected while recording was not selected again when i ran the 
test.

Whly is this happening?

I was trying to record the usual activity flow of an usecase in our
application and encountered this problem.
  

Hi Telerik,

Scenarios:
1. Get the Count of the Combo List
2. Random Selection of values from the Combo list and Specified Selection
3. Load the Values From Excel to combo
4. set the Specified row for the Field
5. Get which row is running Current

 My application where we are using the metronic, kendo Tool to develop the Application, Here I am Unable to do the Above mentioned Scenarios,
Can any one help the Coding in C#
Here I have Attached the Screen short of my Application

Hi,

I am using Test Studio Standalone, as per the override app.config guide, i cut and pasted the VB code. I added the references (System.Configuration), System.Reflection namespace already existed.

I am getting a runtime error.....

InnerException:

Public Sub readExcel_CodedStep3()
'Navigate to : 'http://www.google.com.au/'
ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.google.com.au/", true)
 
Dim [me] As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()

Log.WriteLine([me].ManifestModule.Name)
Log.WriteLine(Me.ExecutionContext.DeploymentDirectory)

Dim config As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(System.IO.Path.Combine(Me.ExecutionContext.DeploymentDirectory, [me].ManifestModule.Name))

Assert.IsNotNull(config)


Dim url As String = config.AppSettings.Settings("LoginPageUrl").Value

Appreciate if someone can provide help please.

Hello,

I am having a problem running my test lists on remote execution server. Let me say first that tests work correctly and without problems localy, but the server is unable to execute those test that include or have included custom coded steps. (my observation)

It seems like test studio cant access AllHoursTest.dll. 

I am getting an error, which is posted bellow.

I noticed that Test Studio has a dialog handler for Windows systems dialogs. It appears that his dialog handle step is only available in Web tests created with Test Studio. We are putting a Win32 Dialog login for our WPF app. I was wondering if there was any way to get the "Handle 'Logon" dialog" test step to work with a WPF test file. When I have a WPF Test open, the dialog handle options are only "Save File", "Open File" and "Generic" options.

Is there code to these dialog handlers that I could possibly use to code my own test step and handle it on my own? On the dialog handler steps, the options to "View Code" and "Customize Step in Code" are disabled.

Hello,

we are currently evaluating Telerik Test Studio and so far are pleased with the product. We do have, however, an issue regarding finding elements which have dynamic content, that is dynamic InnerText respectively TextContent. The workflow in our scenario is the following:

1. I log into our application
2. I create a new object and assign it a static name
3. I save said object
4. I use a search bar, entering the previously assigned name
5. The corresponding object is displayed
6. I click it and in the following dialog delete it

After having recorded this test, I modified steps 2, 4 and 6 so that they work with dynamic names. For steps 2 and 4 I added an extraction step so that I can use the extracted value for name assignment and searching. For step 6 I first took a look at the Find Expression of the recorded element, which was "tagname=span, TextContent exactly XYZ", where XYZ was the name I statically assigned. I then converted this step into a coded step, using the following statements:


While I believe that this code snippet should do exactly what the original Find Expression did (except that it works for dynamic names), it did not work reliably. Most of the time after step 5 (this step passed without problems) the desired HtmlSpan could not be found. Only when I went into debug mode and passed through the test steps very slowly, it succeeded sometimes. After having searched on your forums for a while I stumbled upon someone claiming that Test Studio sometimes clicks on wrong elements. There, a solution was found by adding the ActiveBrowser.RefreshDomTree()
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) method right before doing the click action. I did the same for my coded step, also adding a 5-second wait after refreshing the DOM (by using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)). With this code, the test ran successfully about half the time, maybe a little bit more. I added another call of RefreshDomTree() and another 5-second wait, and now it seems that everything is working fine. My code now looks like this:

  
I understand that problems like an outdated DOM tree can occur and I would be happy if the problem could be solved by adding one call of ActiveBrowser.RefreshDomTree(). However, having to add two calls of it including the following waits looks more like a workaround than a solution to me. Is there any other possibility to solve this issue? Unfortunately, I cannot provide any project files as our application is still under development and shall not be seen by third parties.

Julian

Hi,

Can anyone tell me about the limitations of this tool as I am going to start to automate a new project using this tool and i didn't use this tool before?

Thanks,

Hi,
I am using Test Studio Visual Studio plugin to create test cases. I am trying to find a way to get the items in RadGrid on page and iterate over each row to validate the data in each row / column is correct. While using the record option I can get the value for one cell at a time, but I cannot find a way to get the entire item collection.
Can you show me a way to get all items in grid and loop over the rows?
I have attached a simple demo of my site for your reference.

Note: I was unable to include Telerik.Web.UI.dll in demo site zip due to size constraints.

Thanks!
