Hello All,

I am trying Test studio to check if it works for me.
One of the features I noticed is, If test studio is not able to find the element based on its Find Logic,  it tries to find the element using backup search.
For my test, I am getting following message in TestResults:

23    Enter text 'Instruction 1' in 'Instruction1TextArea'
Element was found by backup search only! We recommend editing the element to correct the primary find expression.
Primary Find Expression: id=DropParent5469,|,tagIndex=textarea:0
Element was found by backup search: xpath=/html[1]/body[1]/div[3]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/textarea[1]        Pass


I want to know, where does test studio stores the xpath for the element? Is there any way to find out the xpath without executing test(from element definition or something like this)?
Also, Is there any way to specify the test to find elements based on xpath only?


Thanks and Regards,
Shruti

the colour of a  successed schedule TestList is stil yellow.
why is not green?

Hey there,
  I need to test an SPA build with Kendo MVVM.  So pretty much I need to call some set methods on the viewmodel in the test (in javascript), then record\test the results in the viewmodel.  So like test step 1 says $viewModel.set("isActive", true); ...then I check visibility of some items.  Then set it to false, and check other things (etc etc)

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Steve

when I set a schedule TestList,Some times,it will be excuted,some times it not ,Why??
The  Scheduling Server was always open

Can I set the browser playback width (in order to test visibility of responsive items?)

I am evaluating the studio to check whether it fits my needs. I have found a *lot* of issues, let me try to sum them up here:

Test runner

1. Test runner on different machine *must* use run as administrator (I get an error), still it continues to run. Quit the app if it must be executed as administrator. Also, *force* it to be started as administrator.
2. Configure as scheduler must also be executed as administrator.

Scheduler

1. The create database in the scheduler only works half of the time. In fact, I had to create an empty database and then it could be created. The server was not listed automatically, though other servers (that MS SQL Manager does not recognize) were found.
2. Start execution server at startup does not work (read: is useless). It must be executed as administrator.

Load test services

1. Load test services has no password field, it just shows the password there in clear text.
2. Load test services has different button sizes. I know this is low prio, but it gives me the feeling the product is not developed with care.

Test studio

1. The navigation inside the app is really hard to understand.
2. Why run as administrator?

ScheduleService API
We are trying to automate the scheduler service. What we do is create a client for the web service and schedule a new test for the next minute. Then we wait and we are able to see whether a test succeeds or fails. However, we cannot find any documentation on this service. Also, we cannot find any way how we can automate the retrieval of the log. In case of a failing UI test, we want to create a JIRA issue (we will automate this ourselves because it lacks JIRA support), but we do need the test log.

Can you please provide info on how we can retrieve the test log for a test that is executed on a remote machine? Just like the test studio does.

Thanks.

The only way of knowing how many iterations the script will need to performed is by looking at how many rows are contained in the spreadsheet.  Fortunately, Telerik will automatically play the script over for all the rows in excel.  However, the element changes for any subsequent row because there is a link on the web form to add a new row.  So, say that the element initially is FirstNameTextBox.  The subsequent element after clicking the add row would be FirstNameTextBox0 and then FirstNameTextBox1. 

Since there can be several lines in the excel spreadsheet depending on what the user puts in, I won't know how many elements I will need to record unless I record several assuming they won't reach that max limit.  So, is there a way to search for these elements without having them in the element repository and making them dynamic in code? Say that FirstNameTextbox7 isn't in the element repository, but it exists in the dom.  Will it recognize something like below during playback?

Such as.

object count = 0;

Pages.Webform.FirstNameTextbox&count.text = data["FirstName"];

count = count + 1;

There is a textbox on a VBscript popup that Telerik can't detect.  I have entered the element by finding it in the dom and was able to get telerik to recognize it, but on playback, it can't find it again.  So, I had given up and decided to go with the Desktop commands in a scripted step where I tab to the textbox and enter a string.  This works fine and is a good work around, but I would like to make the string data driven to the excel spreadsheet that is bound to the test.  I have tried clicking on the coded step and binding a variable, but nothing shows underneath the properties.  How do I reference a variable in the bound excel spreadsheet so that I can enter it in this textbox after I tabbed to it?

I'm new to Test Studio and was trying to add a global variable to the test class. After adding this variable and referencing it in one of the test methods, I can no longer "Play" the test. Clicking Play does nothing. Run to step does nothing. I receive no error messages. At one point, I was unable to access the Class/Code view window for the test. I had to copy all the steps into a new test which let see the code again. Something odd seems to be happening here.

Here's the code. I cut a portion out and removed some comments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are looking for the correct way to lock down a test script that is being executed on a Runtime license. Essentially we do not want to allow the user to make any changes, edits , deletions etc .. to a test script that has been written on a Full License. We only want them allowed to check out and execute a script and save the results. Does Telerik have a recommened action on how to do this?
