We are setting up our automated test structure.  We have found that we will be using test as step quite extensively.  With our current structure all tests for a particular function are in one area, i.e. login.  Consequently we have on Test and all of the tests it uses in one folder.  This will quickly lead to lots of confusion, which tests call the others and which are called, as the number of tests grow.
 I thought of having all the master tests at one project level with the tests as step as a sub-project.  This won't make it obvious which tests call which test as step.
 Is there a better way or some feature I'm missing that will solve this problem better?

Thanks tor your help,
Gregg

HI,

I'm trialing this product and while I think its very good the crashing is annoying as it happens behind the browser window.  For example, you are recording a test and unknown to you (because the popup is behind the browser) TestStudio has crashed.  You happily continue recording steps and at the end click back to TestStudio to find it has crashed with the Save Project dialog open, all your recording steps are lost.  Difficult to make the software bug free but it would help if there was some notification in the recording toolbar so that you didn't waste your time.

Crash below:

I want to create a user defined function and a function library for a test. So that i can associate the function library with the test and can call the functions.

According to Telerik's documentation...
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/test-execution/test-list-settings.aspx
... the RecycleBrowser feature is currently not supported in 2013 R1.

Is there a plan to reinstate support for this feature?  If so, when will this be happening?  If not, is there another feature that will duplicate its benefits?

I am trying to build a Keyword driven framework where i need to execute the steps in a random way. So is there any way where i can decide the flow of steps by programming?

Hi,

I have my automation script for one module automated. It runs fine in the default language when selected in dropdown as english.

I can switch to other 12 languages where the texts would display for all controls in loaclized language and also few data that we enter.

I tried but failed. 

Can anyone let me know how can i make the existing script to run in localized language? even i tried giving localized data for input. but elements are not recognized.
