Hey everyone,
I'm having trouble trying to figure out the most efficient way to build my suite of tests.  The issue is, I have tests that do environment specific things.  For example, in one of my tests, I query our qa environment database to get a specific value back which is then used to help datadrive the test.  Now what if I want to run this same test in UAT or Prod?  This means I need to change in all the tests which environment I am pointing to.  I want to be able to just have to change one value in a test and then everything will run in the correct environment.

My idea was creating a custom C# class that has functions that based on which environment you are in, returns the correct value.

Here's a quick example of what I want.

public String getUrl(Environment env)
{
if(env == Environment.QA)
{
return "qaurl";
}else if(env == Environment.UAT)
{
return "uatUrl"
}
}

Is this possible in Test Studio?  If so, where can I create my C# class to use and reference it in my project?  I am not familiar with the C# way since I'm coming from a Java background.

Just did my first check-in into TFS. Having problems because the character limit is being hit.

Why do you guys put so many extra characters in the file paths? 

I am doing a test of an ajax form that we have running, and one of the conditions it does is sets a buttons state using class based on some of the jquery.ui built-in classes.  Our form is running this very long running ajax routine (we are doing some complex file IO) is using signalr to send feedback back to the ui.  What I would like to do is check the state of a button html element on the screen, and wait while it has a specific class.  when that class disappears (the button becomes enabled) I would like to proceed.

Here is the buttons initial html:

<button class="jw-button-next ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-text-icon-secondary ui-state-hover ui-state-disabled" role="button" aria-disabled="false" type="button">

notice 'ui-state-disabled' there, that is what I want to be waiting to disappear.

Any suggestions?

We have three testing environments:  Dev, QA, and Production.  We also have scripts that do database comparison between app and DB.  Currently, the connection string is hard-coded.  I know that this should be variable/datasheet driven.  What would be best practice for this considering that we will test on three seperate databases during the sprint?  Using the datasheet variable, the sheet would have to be changed each time we want to hit a different database.  I undertand this would be easier than changing the coded connection string in each test, but it seems like there is probably a better way to do this that I cannot think of.  Ideas/thoughts/enlightenment?

Thanks!!

We want the ability for any one of our test team members to create test scripts, check them in, and for them to then be available to the entire test team.

We noticed that when we create a project in TestStudio it creates a bunch of folders like bin, Data, My Project, obj, etc.

Could you please advise us on which of these files/folders need to be checked-in to achieve this?

In a test case, I click on a PDF link on the page, IE 9's download dialog appears along the bottom of the browser window. The test case then handles the dialog by Canceling it.

If I run this test case in Quick Execution, it works.
If I run this test case as part of a Test List, it fails with an Unexpected Dialog error.

Is this a known issue? Am I over-looking something? I believe this test case worked in a Test List before I updated to 2013.2.

Thanks for your help.

In the Element Properties window there appear two properties whose use I am unsure of. I understand they deal with baseURL functionality, but I would be grateful if someone could explicitly explain what they are for. The properties in question are:

CompareURL and EntireURL

In fact - if there is a document which explicitly explains all of the properties on the element property page, then I would love to see it.

Thank you!

I have recorder some steps and added If else loop in the steps. If loop is having the condition, i just wanted to change the condition from if statement

I am attemptin to cycle through an unordered list on a page, and then compare that to the values in the database.  So far, I am having trouble in cycling the <UL>.  Below is what I currently have:

foreach(Control item in Suites.Controls)
{
    if(item is HtmlGenericContol)
  {
      Log.WriteLine((HtmlGenericControl)item).InnerHtml + "<br>");
 }
}

I am getting a compile error of:

Line 79: (CS0103) The name 'Suites' does not exist in the current context

Can anyone point me in the right direction.  I will include a screen shot of the DOM for the list.

Any help would be appreciated!!

 

 

Hello,

In the OnAfterTestCompleted method, I would like to have code to open the test result file after a failure.  When the file is saved, how can I access the unique 18-digit id?  I first export the result to a network location.  Here is what I have so far:
