Hi,

I am currently writing tests in VS2012 Ultimate SP1 and Windows 8 Pro x64. UAC is at the lowest level. (I have not manually edited the registry to drop it to fully off {this borks Metro/ModernUI applications}).  My account is an administrator on the machine also.  All of the tests are purely code using MSTest for the unit test attributes.  If I have Visual Studio or a command prompt elevated as an administrator all of the tests execute fine.  If they are not then the browser will open and nothing happens.

If I use the standalone Test Studio and create a test via the GUI and launch it from there it will work.  I did not elevate the standalone TS when I did this so there must be some way to allow VS and CMD to execute the tests properly without being elevated. I read the entry http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/command-line-test-execution/mstest.aspx and watched the corresponding video but neither were helpful.  The screenshots are VS2010 specific and some features have been removed in VS2012. 

Is there anyway to run the tests without requiring admin elevation in Windows 8 with VS2012? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Hopefully I am just doing something wrong or missing some setting and this isn't a limitation of TS.

Thanks

Greetings,

I'm replacing an employee that had an extensive list of tests created for the project I'm working on. Unfortunately, when logging into the virtual machine which she was using and opening her test folders, a number of popups about missing code and files being read-only popped up. It seems she was unable to properly backup the files for the next user, me.

I was able to review some of her tests and decided that due to missing logins and URLs no longer being correct that it would be easier to rewrite the tests. I don't want to end up in the same boat as her in the future should someone else pick up the testing assignment or need to run the automated tools from the virtual server.

My question is "how do I properly backup the project files and restore them on another computer or for another user?"

My test step passed. But i see the below message in the test log. 
"Element was found by backup search only!  We recommend editing the element to correct the primary find expression."
Can you please help me ? What i should do ?

I am trying to records web test with telerik studio. My site is not HTTPS.

When i run with chrome its says preparing and after that nothing happens. And then i started surfing sites with chrome and it says SSL certificate has expired. Does test studio makes changes to chrome settings.

Second some times IE just hangs and i have no other way but to end task.

Please help.

Hi, 

I'm trying to add comments to my recorded script, but the added comments always end up at the bottom of the script. This is very inconvenient as while I'm trying to move the newly added comments to the correct place, I loose the spot that I was at, and it's a bit annoying trying to find it again every time. 

Any tip that I can have my newly added comments to be at the correct place when adding them?

Thanks
 

Hi
I am just learning to work with both variants of the product: VS plugin and the standalone.  I started with the standalone, but found the VS plugin version just a bit more friendly/comfortable even when working on the basics of get my first prototype tests working. Things like the ability to detach the property list and have it free float & expanded, and working with simple code steps. I need to understand both as like many companies, we hope to eventually use it in DEV and QA. 

 As I get deeper, I better understand which features that are not in both as seen http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/products/compare-editions.aspx.... Not to mention other smaller differentiations/qualification mentioned from time to time in the forum posts.  
I am also seeing that moving/hopping between the two is not something one undertakes without some planning process/procedure as mentioned on this post:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/community/forums/test-studio-express/general-discussions/working-between-standalone-and-vs-plugin.aspx

So, What is the best strategy? ... How does one maximize the benefits of each and minimize any angst?

 

 I like to see as part of the answer:

• A couple of video lecture’s on how actual companies integrate the using of the two – best practices type presentations. One or more that deal with the real technical issues and one of how companies fit/optimize both into the underbelly of their SDLC.
• A stated goal for new releases of increased "transparency/ seamless-ness" between the two (standalone and plugin), especially when it come to using tests almost in parallel in both systems.(  I am sure the more experienced product users can suggest other features in the standalone that would be good to see in the plugin ...)

Don’t get me wrong – I am pleased with the product, I just want it to keep getting better,  especially for new users that have little time and need to ramp up and start to become productive quickly.  

PS

1 To start, it is important to add link in relevant places in the user guide to  features checklist above. Would stop newbies like me hunting for features in VS. that only exits in standalone  (keeping me fro being part of the problem as much  :-)

Hi, 

I was trying to "Recapture Storeboard", but I found myself loosing the spotlight in the captured image, i.e., the red-rectangle circle that highlights where the action is taking place. 

The Telerik that I'm using is the latest, TestStudio_2012_2_1420. 

Please advice

Thanks

Is there any way to use the pass/fail result of a step as the condition for an if/else?

I read in some other thread that the Capture Browser step could only take screenshots if launched from Test View in Visual Studio. 

Is there any way to get the sceenshots to work from Test Studio? I'm exploring this product as a potential addition to the software our QA team uses. I'd prefer if they didn't have to use Visual Studio for this feature to work.

Is there a way to export the Test Studio test steps to use them as test cases for manual testing?  We are trying to figure out a way to update our manual test cases with the updated details that were scripted in our Test Studio test scripts.  We thought we would see if there is a way to reverse the process and use the automated test steps as the manual test cases for that team to use if needed.
