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.

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!

Hello,

We experience random test failures while running Silverlight tests based on Telerik Test Studio. While the tests pass, just after a test finishes it receives an error saying 'The agent process was stopped while the test was running'. Most of the time tests pass, but about 5% of them fail with this error.

We are running tests via MSTest 2012 from a TeamCity build step. The test studio version is 2012.2, the machine is running Windows 8.1 x64

The following error occurs immediately in the Event Log:​

Log Name:      Application

   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object)
   at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

I tried debugging remotely and attaching VS to QTAgent32_40 process. When the exception occurs, the thread it occurs on is named 'MS UI Automation event queue processor.' Besides, there is always another thread named like 'Agent: adapter run thread for test 'X'...' with the following call stack:
  mscorlib.dll!System.AppDomain.Unload(System.AppDomain domain)
  ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.dll!ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.TestAppLoader.Dispose()
  ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.dll!ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteTest(ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecuteTestCommand command)
  ArtOfTest.WebAiiVSIP.dll!ArtOfTest.WebAiiVSIP.WebAiiTestAdapter.Run(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Common.ITestElement testElement, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Execution.ITestContext testContext)
  Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.AgentObject.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Agent.AgentExecution.CallAdapterRunMethod(object obj)
  mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(object state)
  mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state, bool preserveSyncCtx)
  mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state, bool preserveSyncCtx)
  mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state)
  mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart(object obj)

So it looks like if a test finishes in a bad moment, its attempt to unload app domain leads to async thread abort on UI Automation Client thread. It is not handled, so it causes process termination. (See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9416078/how-to-handle-appdomain-unload-and-the-related-threadabortexception)

Is there anything that can be done to mitigate the issue? Or do I need to file a bug via our license holder? This error makes our automated UI tests unstable and unusable.

Hi.

I've been creating small sub-tests for my test scenarios such as logging in, going to a specific page, ordering a product, etcetera. The goal is to be able to easily create varying test scenarios by using these small tests as building blocks. Now I've added in a data source to specificy my base URLs so I can run these tests on both test and acceptation enviroments, this is where this method seems to unfortunately break down.

When I add a datasource it automatically runs every test twice, one on test (row 1 of my excel sheet) and on acc (row 2 on my excel sheet), however it does this for every single substep. I want an entire testlist to finish while using data from row 1, and then another iteration of said testlist where it gets data from row 1. Right now it performs Step 1 twice, Step 2 twice, etcetera.

I've also tried creating one full test instead of a testlist where I use my small tests as test steps, but it still performs all of the possible iterations for step 1 before moving on to step 2. Is what I want not possible? If so, how would I ever go about testing an entire scenario on test before I do the full run on acc, without having to make one giant test without sub-tests in it?

Sander

Hello,

I have the scenario for testing a workflow from start to end. The workflow is same but the scenario varies based on data. We have about 15 scenarios for the workflow but the data for each scenario is different.

We would like to test each scenario at least 5 times with different values. The data fields being large, having the data entered in excel sheet will be difficult for the tester to navigate the record from column 1 …. Column n.

We were looking at an alternative where we could have the record structured in xml, with name value pair. We plan to have the parent node, 5 child nodes, each child node will have one set of data where each row will be name value.

Here is the same xml.



We will have one test data driven connecting to the xml file (datasource). The data table in TestStudio (2014TR1), only allows us bind only one table (i.e. data-1 or data-2, etc)..

Ideally would like to run the complete file once… We don’t want write to many custom coded steps since the testers do not have coding background.

Please share solution if anyone have implemented both coding and non-coding is welcome but using Test Studio UI.

Thanks
Govind

Hi,

Telerik Test Studio Recorder 2013.2.1519.0

TS also can not record in Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m with these extensions installed:

Telerik Test Studio Chrome Explore 2014.1.410.2
Telerik Test Studio Chrome Playback 2014.2.618.3
Telerik Test Studio Chrome Recorder 2014.2.618.3
Telerik Test Studio Recorder 2014.1 2014.1.410.3

At the moment TS can not record anything but can play a test script in both browsers.

TS working fine on my IE. Can anyone please share the experience to solve this problem. Thanks

How does image verification works as in what all things are verified during run time if image verification is performed.?

We are currently evaluating WebUI Test Studio QA (latest trial version).
Is there any features to export all test/test items/test result into Excel / Word ?
(I know that  UI test can export  Excel/Word files for each test/ test result page)

What we'd like to do is 2 things:

 - Generate Test items Report (Excel/Word) before test execution
 - Generate all the test result in a single Excel file (mutiple worksheets?)

Thank you.
