Inconsistent test duration

What scripting language are you using? How are you searching for objects? Are your mapped objects correctly structured, i.e. having parent and child relationships. Do disable Extended Search. Have you checked there's no issues with your web application?
I'm using javascript. For searching the objects during the test we use webpage.FindChildByXpath(xPath). In the Object Tree I can properly see parent/child relationships.
Like in my previous reply, I did disable Extended Search but didn't see any differences.
What kind of issues for the web app do you expect? Everything behaves as it should, both slow and fast runs of the test get a green log. Only difference is (from what I can tell) that the fast run doesn't seem to need to search for the objects as it already knows where they are and where to click/type test, whereas the slow run needs to search for them.
Hi,
Try to take a closer look at test log - it contains Time Difference column. Check if unexpectedly long time is spent for some actions. Maybe this will provide you with some ideas.
Hi Alex,
All of the actions take a few seconds longer in the slow version of the test run (not something extraordinary - a couple of seconds added for each step) but it all adds up.
