Hi Plamen,

recently i installed latest build ie, 8.1.7,  previously i used 7.1.2/7.2.1

With 7.1.2/7.2.1, i used data driven approach using xls file successfuly....

With the latest 8,1,7, the data driven approach using xls is failing.

My Scenario:

Iam recording my application, which is hosted on http://machine1(assumin it),and performing some action on it.,....the same application is hosted on two different machines assume http://machine2 and http://machine3.

to perform smoke test on these application when new build is releasing, i used a xls based data source with one column "Url" and these urls information in the column values...

i binded this xls file to login test script.

for the navigation step, i binded it to with Navigation url to column value...whic you metioned  like in documentation...

Upon executing these, browser is opening but no action  on it,,,,

I just want to know..... is it any issue with latest build....

it worked smoothly with old install......i dont knw why it failed here.....can you pls suggest me here...

Thanks..

I made a data driven test that connects to external websites to make sure they work.
I have to know what error I'm looking for to make sure they work at all.
Is there a better way to do this, or do I need different software to run this kind of test?
I just want to verify a list of websites from an XLS file and have it report bad webseite that we are linking to.

I was using the 817 build - with Firefox 6
I noticed 825 was posted and thought I would try that

I can see the existing service, and stop it during installation but the install fails with

Service 'Telerik TestStudio Scheduling service' (TestStudioSchedulingService) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.

I installed the original and the 817 upgrade, so i had privs last week

Server 2008 R2 - BTW

Generally work flow of the Telerik Test Studio Test Scripts will be as follows: 

1. Record required number of test scripts on telerik test studio under a sample project
2. Group these recorded test cases as a list inside the sample project
3. Create a Scheduling  server which
   1. creates a database on the machine which has sql server instance and also registers with machine which has database to store and retrieve test results when test scripts execution completes or failures
   2. Stores information about the smtp server to send email notifications when test scripts execution completes or failures
   3. Defines the output or run result folder paths for storing results information as files.
4. Create an Execution server which is responsible for execution of test scripts
5. Establishing a test connection between test scripts folder and machine which has database.
6. Defining the test scripts execution frequency cycle.(i.e., daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/timely)

• Scheduling server – responsible for identifying the time frequency/internal to enable to execution server to execute test scripts and storing the results which completed or failed
• Execution server – responsible for execution of test scripts and sending execution details to scheduling server.

 

Once, the above steps are performed, without any user explicit action, test scripts are executed and details about executed test scripts are stored in the database. 

http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/scheduling-test-runs/create-a-scheduling-server.aspx 

To view the details of execution of test scripts, currently we have two options. 

1. Results display in Telerik Test Studio under MMXUITestScripts application and exporting them to word/excel/pdf etc., (or)
2. Direct table view of database where results are stored

My Questions:

Do we have chance to show dashboard kind of stuff with test scripts display and able to execute  from dashboard with ny button clicks and see their details over dashboard?

Ex: .Net or Silverlight based UI for displaying list of test scripts which are recorded on telerik test studio projects and having ability to start/stop/pause/cancel and see their current and previous results

The reason behind asking this, is my management people were more interested to view the test scripts recorded as list on dashboard and they need ability to start/stop/pause/cancel and view current and previous results for comparision.

Any hopes here..

Hi,
I've downloaded the trial version of 2011.1.520.0 in order try and fix another problem, but now when I run some of my existing scripts I get the error below. I recorded a new script almost identical to the existing ones and that seems fine. I hope I don't have to recreate my entire project...
Thanks
Clive

We just purchased Telerik Premium about 2 weeks ago and now Telerik is offering us "a deal" to upgrade to Ultimate. Well, its not really a deal, b/c it's still expensive. But they claim we can take advantage of Test Studio and and JustMock.

After reading the info on Test Studio, I'm not sure I understand the hype behind Test Studio, and how this is suppose to improve our productivity. Please, can someone (who has used Test Studio in the real world) explain or illustrate what I can gain by upgrading and using Test Studio?

Thanks,
Steven

Hi,

I have a problem with IE8.  Lets say I have a test with 13 steps, log in, navigate to other page, click some buttons and validate.

Sometimes execution is fine but most of the time I get this error:

Failure Information: 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unable to locate element. Details: Attempting to find [Html] element using 
Find logic 
 (Html): [id 'Exact' ctl00_DefaultContent_LabelFLOverview] AND [tagname 'Exact' span]

Unable to locate element. Search failed!

Are there some alternative ways to finding, locating elements and activating them?

cheers

I am currently building record-and-playback tests in Test Studio but want to make more robust tests using Visual Studio. I have the Dev Edition but cannot seem to easily open any of the tests I have built in Test Studio.

I'm getting the following build error whenever I try to build my project  

"Error 1 The item "Pages.g.cs" was specified more than once in the "Sources" parameter.  Duplicate items are not supported by the "Sources" parameter. c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.CSharp.targets 160 9

Everything I've read online indicates that there is a second reference to Pages.g.cs in the .csproj file or a duplicate .resx file is in the project. I've checked both numerous times and have been unable to resolve the issue.... HELP!

I can see that pages.g.cs is listed twice in the build log, but I'm completely at a loss as to why.
