Hello,

Could you let me know which edition of Visual Studio (Test Professional, Professional, Premium or Ultimate) is *minimally* required on servers that will only build and/or run tests (no test development) in a Microsoft Test Manager/TFS/Test Studio Runtime Edition test environment? 

1) We are currently using Test Studio 2012.2.1420.0 - however, we are investigating an upgrade to 2014.1.* or 2013.*  (so if there are any differences in the information between these releases, please let us know the info for both). 
2) We are using Visual Studio 2010 on our servers (since we are working with TFS 2010) but can install Visual Studio 2012 if needed. 
3) We need to be able to run tests both from Test Manager UI (from the same or a different computer) or using tcm.exe (command line equivalent of MTM).

I have been trying to set up a server (win Server 2008 R2 Standard and Test Studio Runtime Edition 2012.2.1420.0) with Test Professional 2010 only and a combination of Test Professional 2010 and Test Professional 2012 (because latter comes with tcm.exe - while the former doesn't).  But I have been running into a series of issues which seem to be related to missing Microsoft DLLs. I have resolved some of them - but keep running into more.  Details can be provided if required.

We do currently have functioning test server environments with Visual Studio Ultimate - these have been working without issues for 2-3 years now. The above stems from an effort to try and downgrade Visual Studio on these servers for cost reasons.

Any help would be much appreciated.  Please let us know if you have questions.

Thanks,
Shashi 

Hi,

I have to test an HTML5 desktop App (not HTML5 web application) on Linux platform.

Looks like Test Studio supports HTML5 apps on windows OS. Does it support Linux OS ?

If yes, can you please share a link on this topic.

Hi,

I'm testing a Silverlight app and I'm trying to validate the correct data sort on a RadGridView. Is there a way I can interact with the column header to set to sort order I want (ex: "Ascending" or "Descending").

Right now I have a coded step to click on the column header and than I validate the ascending sort and then I click again on the header and I validate the descending sort. But what I'm looking for is a way to set the column sort without having to click on it.

Something like: RadGridView.Header[0].Sort(Ascending);

Using XAML Spy I'm able to see a property "SortingState" on the GridViewHeaderCell element that has the value sort (ex: "Ascending") but I'm not able to reach that property on my code. I don't even know if is possible to use such property to set the desired sort of the column

What are my possibilities?

Best Regards,
Luis

Hello,

We are trying to activate two of our licenses for test studio.  We have tried both automatic activation and manual activation but neither work.  Here is what happens on automatic activation: http://screencast.com/t/AvfvpODXWLlW.

When we try to manually activate, we enter in the machine name and key then the screen refreshes without adding the license.

FYI, we had trial versions installed which expired on 25 Jan.  We tried uninstalling them and reinstalling the latest version but still cannot activate.

We are on some tight deadlines and falling behind due to this.  My email address is Jasmine.SIlva@assistrx.com.  The account owner address is  Lonnie.Koenig@assist-rx.com. Thanks for your help. 

When I exicute a test list an empty black command box apears and the tests never run.

Hi, there,
I remember I have to reboot my local desktop for at three times while install TS Ultimate. Can you please let me know if I have to reboot my servers when I install the TS runtime edition? I have to give notice to the teams before I install the runtime on server in this case.

Thanks - Reno

At this time, I don't think this is possible.  But, I wanted to ask to be sure, and then to see if this could be added as a feature request.

When a new test project is created certain reference assemblies are included by default.  Is it possible to change which ones are inclued?  Our team is starting to look at incorporating test steps that execute PowerShell as part of our tests.  To do this we needed to include the System.Management.Automation assembly.  One of the team members asked if it was possible to set something so that it is included when the project is created.  (Rather than adding it after the fact.)

Expanding on this idea, it is intriguing to consider custom project types.  For example, the default project type would be left unchanged but could be copied to new types that get tweaked to specific needs.

Hi,

In the previous version of Test Studio, we had specified a network path for the project source location as per the instructions in the 2012 R2 and Earlier section here http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/scheduling-test-runs/connect-a-project-to-a-scheduling-server.aspx

I can't find this option in the 2013 R1 version.

As you can see in the attached "UploadingToWhere" screen capture, it just sticks on this screen for about 10 - 15 minutes and eventually throws an error as per attached "RemoteTestExecutionError". After which it just checks out 100s of files, disconnects the project from source control and I have to go through the painful opening procedure again.

I have tried re-installing the scheduling server and followed the instructions in the online documentation and everything appears to be connected fine ( we have 1 x scheduling and execution server, 1 x execution server only ) and both these machines are displayed as options to run test lists against.  Tests also run fine on these machines via the command line so I have worked around the issue at the moment by setting up a batch file to run theses test lists and using windows task scheduler to schedule them, however I would really like to use the Telerik scheduler again.

Please advise

Thanks
Shane
 

G'day,

I've recorded a test in IE (running windows 8 - using 2013 Sep 11 Release of TTS).

I'm going to an HTTPS site where I'm prompted for Windows Authentication. I enter the username and password and access the site.

When I try replay the test, after a short while, the login dialog simply flashes quickly, then never enters the credentials.

I've followed the steps require to 'remove credentials' from the site, however this doesn't work

Note that it appears to occasionally work 1 or 2 times after recording then stops.

I'm looking at renewing our subscription as our company is about to start using our 3 licenses with 100 virtual users, however need to be confident it will work for us.

Hi,
I am a newbie to Test Studio. I am hitting a button on Window1 that opens up a new Window2. The URL for window2 is different everytime so the test case fails as it is trying to navigate to the already recorded URL. 
I am using record and play. Kindly help.

P.S:
The initial part of the URL always remains the same except the last 4 alphanumeric digits. Appologez if I am giving less info.
