Hi,

I was using the logical "loop" button. But there just could be defined a count of iterations on the steps, there is a way I can define a loop infinite?

Thanks

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to write a simple test to launch a web page, enter some information and then click Submit, launching another page. I have written these steps as a combination of 1 custom coded step to launch the first web site and input values, then a second recorded step to click the "Submit" button. 

When I execute the test, everything works fine in IE, but as soon as I try Firefox, the click button step hangs/times out and then writes an error. I do not understand why Test Studio cannot find this button in Firefox, but all works well in IE.

I am using IE9 and Firefox 5.

Please advise, we are evaluating the Test Studio tool for use in our organization and need to move forward quickly.

Here is the log message:

Hello Support,

I'm running into this situation (System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
) couple of times every day.

We have more than 50 different scripts; every other test has coded steps. All the scripts are working as expected.

But, while running scripts for some reason (say after 20 scripts) we closed browser forcefully it throws below exception. Now, we are using QA SP2; but I see same issue since long time. I’m expecting to see Failed -15 Passed Out of Total 20 executed.

Finally, we are ending up with Failed - 0 passed out of Total 0 executed.

Screenshot attached.

Is there any way to solve this issue?

Your help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Madhu.

I have a test to log in to our application.  I have another test that adds a new record into the app.  When I combine these 2 tests in a list, the first one logs in sucessfully, but then the second test then opens a new browser window.  This second window obviously doesn't have the app loaded and so I get a failure for the run.  I will get a successful run if I call the login script from within the second one, but my goal was to have a bunch of small tests that I could string together however I wanted.  I don't want to have to login, do one test, and log out.  Then log back in, do another test, and log out.
How do I make sequential test scripts recognize the browser instance that's currently open/running?

Thanks,
Steve

Question...

I have a search page that returns rows displayed on the web page by a default filter…  I want to verify the number of results on the page is the same number of results returned when I query the database.  How is this done using your tool?

On older versions of Tests Studio / Web UI, when using "run to here", it would put me in record mode after the step I was running to.
Now it wont record anything unless I go back and click, "record next step" or it will record the step in a random location in my test.
THis drives me nuts.
I like the way it was before.
I would click, "run to here", and then I could just start recording and the step(s) would be inserted after the step I ran to.

We have a good number of tests that we are looking to automate which require that the test uploads a .txt or .csv file to our system.  This is easy to accomplish on my laptop - but my question is what would be the best way to set this up if we plan on running these same tests on different workstations or using the Runtime Edition on a Rackspace server?  In other words, how we can ensure that the files to be uploaded can be found by the tests regardless of which machine the tests are being executed on?  Is there a way to add these files as attachments to the project or individual tests?

I performed the following steps:
1. Recorded a script.
2. Checked element identification logic to ensure that the identification logic did not include any dynamically created ID's & that elements were unique.
3. Ran the script.
4. Script failed because several elements that had been recorded could no longer be found on screen.
5. Used Find Element - Live Action to review element definitons and validate those definitons. The identification logic was fine, but validation failed
6. Opened the page where the elements were located, clicked on the elements to find out more info about them - changed identification information in Telerik.
7. Attempted to validate elements with new definitions - failed again.


Note: all of the elements that I am having this issue with are found on 1 frame.  I've tried identifying the item with the default frame inforamtion given to me by Telerik and I've tried changing the frame definition, but nothing I'm doing seems to be working.  Other frames are identified exactly the same as the problem frame and the system is having no problem identifying elements on those frames, so at this point I'm out of ideas.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

When I open a test, I see the end of the test not step 1.2.3.etc.
Also when I delete a step or group of steps, it throws me to the last step after the delete is done.
Then I have to find my way back to the steps I was working with.
3rdly, When I copy steps from one test to another, the order or the steps is reversed.
This does me no good at all.

I can record clicking on external links okay.
When I run the test after, I get an error on the connect to step.
I see some of the sites redirect so I copied the location it lands on and pasted it in to the connect step.
This fixed many of the connect steps but not all of them.
I still get errors on some even though I see everything happen correctly.
What can I do to get rid of the errors in the connect to steps?
