We recently presented Test Studio to the QA team as a solution for automated testing on a Silverlight application.  One of the concerns from the QA team was that the play back was slow. With slow automation their tests would take a long time to complete.  Is there a way to make the automation play back faster?

Hi Telerik Team,

I am running Telerik to test Web application. I recorded scenario which includes sub-menu click by using Telerik Mouse Actions: 'Mouse Hover' and 'Left Click'. But when executed the scenario, it finishes the test without executing this part. Or I could say same functionality not working on Telerik by this way.
So please let me know the steps to record and execute the menu/sub-menu options, as well as the check boxes in application.

Is it possible to force Test Studio to bind to an instance of Internet Explorer?

My problem in a nutshell is:

1. Use Run > To Here
2. A second window opens during this run
3. Test Studio faithfully binds to the first window, but not the second
(Making it impossible to continue where I left off on my recording...)

Thanks for your time!
Dan

Hi there,

Some questions:
1. Does your software Test Studio support websites in Hebrew?
2. Can test results be exported to Excel?

Tnx,
Shanit.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to force thread identity for a test list. I'm currently working on an intranet site and I have to test different user profiles on one of our dev servers. The thing is that we don't do "login"; the site takes the logged in identity. For manual testing and verification, we've developed a script that forces the desired identity (all browser windows must be closed for it to work), THEN opens a browser window and opens the site . But with test studio, the browser opens as soon as you want to record a test.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I have an automated test that runs against a Silverlight application.  At some points I connect to the database to verify that the data persisted correctly.  In these cases, I write code in a test step to connect to the database.  I use a hard coded connection string in my coded step.  The only problem is that my Silverlight application may be using different databases depending on the environment.  (i.e.  QA, Dev, Production)  I do not want to change my connection string (in every coded step) every time I go against a different database.  Is there a better way to easily change my connection string when I am running my automated test? Maybe there is a global setting or configuration file that I may use to put these values.  What is the best way to handle this situation?  Please let me know.

Test Studio: 2012.1.518.0
Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Service Pack 1
Internet Explorer: 9.0.8112.16421
Firefox: 12.0
Safari: 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)
Chrome: 19.0.1084.52

I've been debugging a failing test against our internal CMS where a step couldn't connect to a modal pop-up dialog. In the end I stripped the test right down and eventually tested a public facing website.

My test contains 4 steps:
- Navigate to http://www.codestore.net/store.nsf/unid/DOMM-4R5MDQ
- Click 'ThisLinkLink'
- Connect to modal pop-up window : A Modal Pop-Up -- Webpage Dialog
- Close modal pop-up window : A Modal Pop-up -- Webpage Dialog

I'm testing each browser individually using Quick Execution.

Both Firefox and Safari fail on step 3 and the test stops, even if I set the PopupWaitTimeout property to 60 secs.

If possible I'd like a solution which doesn't involve writing code because non-developers will be writing most of our tests.

Cheers,
Steve

I just upgraded to the latest build this morning and I am running into an issue compiling a project on my remote execution box,  I am seeing the following error in the log:

4658

4/11/2012 10:38:52 AM

Information

The TestList run prepartion failed and execution cannot continue! Error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. StackTrace: at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.ProjectModel.Test.NeedToCompile() at Telerik.TestStudio.Scheduling.WindowsService.ExecutionEngineRunner.ExecuteList(TestList list, Project project, Settings settings, String binaryFolder, String projectPath, String resultName) at Telerik.TestStudio.Scheduling.WindowsService.ExecutionEngineRunner.StartRun(Object runArg)

I was able to execute projects fine prior to upgrading this morning.  I have not changed any settings or configuration other than what may have been done by the installer.

All of my previously working FireFox based tests are now failing about 25% of the time with the following error. The only solution I have found is to add a 2 second delay before each action and setting the steps to 'FireFox' only. Even this doesn't always work.

Suggestions?

Hi,

I have created an utility class to capture HTTP Traffic (to get some querystring key/value pair) by using Telerik HTTP PROXY class, triggered by launching a URL. This part is more complicated but it's done.

I need to capture the same traffic by clicking on any link on a page; all I know is the link element user clicked, but I won't know the exact URL. This test has to be done from Test Studio as the QA tester is not as technical, most likely with data binding to a set of link elements.

I am new to Test Studio, thought this should be pretty straightforward. Can anyone help? 

Thanks,
Terri
