Re: Remote execution on TFS Test Agent erratic

Well - looks like a schoolboy error to me :D The remote machine had IE8 installed (yes, I know - don't ask =) and as soon as I had installed IE10, not only did the problem go away, rather, Ranorex just blasted through the automation. So, in this instance: my mistake. Will test on Chrome just to see....

Re: Remote execution on TFS Test Agent erratic

Hi testautomator, thanks for the tip; the dropdown-list entry is actually visible after the previous step has completely (and without playback problems) entered the item to look for. Ranorex just doesn't seem to be able to find it. I think my next angle of attack is going to be a more robust/flexibl...

Re: Remote execution on TFS Test Agent erratic

Hi Robert, thanks for getting back to this. I don't think processing power is the problem in this particular case - although the virtual machines we're using are fairly crappy in terms of performance. The element that fails to get recognised (consistently, actually - so this might be something we ca...

Remote execution on TFS Test Agent erratic

Hi all, I have noticed that when I execute tests remotely using TFS 2012, Test Agent version 11.0.50727.1 and Ranorex 4.1.4, about 50% of test executions fail (!) because objects are not recognised. In this particular case, I tested against an HTML5 page on IE 8, using the Ranorex-recommended Coded ...

Re: Checking when an application has opened - task manager

Hi,

in the end, this sufficed:

1.) Launch Excel download (and open) via return key and then measure with

2.)
while(repo.MicrosoftExcel.Self.Active == false)
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
}

Thanks for the suggestions !

Regards,

Re: Checking when an application has opened - task manager

Thanks for the suggestions - will try it out right now and post feedback on results. And yes - we're shoehorning Ranorex into a performance test situation... we tried on the protocol level and just couldn't get it to work. GUI is the only way we can measure response times, and the project have accep...

Checking when an application has opened - task manager

Hi, I need to automate a test case which opens an Excel document from an email archiving system. The problem is: how do I measure - reliably - the time taken between the double-click on the document link in the archiving system and the moment when Excel has fully loaded the document ? My ideas so fa...
