Test Case "Error Behavior" summary?

Hello, Is there anywhere within the Ranorex Studio where I can find a summary of the Error Behavior settings for all of the test cases? For example: Suppose my test suite contains 50 test cases - 30 are set to "Continue with Sibling", 10 are set to "Stop" and 10 are set to "Continue with Iteration"....

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

Just an update on this particular item:

Updating to 4.0.4 did not address the binding speed but moving all of the files locally has fixed the problem.

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

The Ranorex project files are on the network drive while Ranorex Studio is installed on my computer, so I access the project files across our network; this ensures the project files are included within our server's nightly backup routine. Whenever I create a new data source from an Excel spreadsheet...

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

Thanks for replies: Just a suggestion, did you try to use the CSV instead of xls? I know, it may not be a perfect solution, but who knows, maybe a lighter and straightforward CSV could help here? I did try the CSV and it didn't make any noticable difference. We analyzed the performance issue with hu...

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

Some extra information regarding this problem: the more data sources I bind, the longer each bind takes. It is approaching 6 minutes per bind for me now :( Below is a picture of my CPU and RAM usage during a bind. By my estimate, the total length of the "Physical Memory Usage History" graph is 4 min...

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

Please note: I tried replacing one of the ExcelDataConnector data sources with a SimpleDataConnector data source, but I had the same problem when binding it, i.e. a dozen or so Excel.exe processes opened and it took about 3 minutes to complete the operation. If it assists your investigation, I am us...

Re: Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

I have updated to 4.0.3 and there is definitely a performance improvement within the "Manage Data Sources" and "Data Source" menus. However the performance is still pretty dreadful when I exit the "Data Binding" menu: - I right-click on a test case and choose "Data Sources..." - I choose the spreads...

Using Excel Files as data sources - very slow behaviour

I have a number of data-driven tests which use Excel files as the data sources. Recently I have noticed the performance when binding a source to a test case (and also in the "Manage Data Sources" menu) has become very slow. As an example, yesterday it took me 45 minutes to bind 12 data sources (all ...

Ranorex Spy unable to recognise the open form

Our software contains a form that can be accessed from a number of different places by the user. While reviewing the payback of a Ranorex recording, I noticed that Ranorex was struggling to find the Repository items on that form, specifically when it was opened from one area of our application (it w...
