    My problem has been solved.

     

    I have to defined testsetting file in TestComplete test project of Visual Studio. my test complete project name is TCRunner

    I have just defined the Test Timeouts settings and saved the file parallel to the .tc12Test Files. e.g TestSettings1.testsettings.
    I have to modify Run Functional Tests step of Agent phase in VSTS and define the Run Setting file e.g "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\tc\TCRunner\TestSettings1.testsettings"

     

    Just save the release definition and deploy the build. Test run has bypass the default 30 minutes timeout settings and Log.mht files uploaded successfully without facing error message Test 'test_name' exceeded execution timeout period.

Do you have an example of the testsetting file? It seems i'm facing the same problem and tried the same solution but it doesn't work for me yet.

    Hey Brother

     

    Step 1: I have added testsettings1.testsettings file in Visual Studio Test Project and just define the total execution time and individual test execution time. see image01 and image02.

     

    Step 2: Configure testsettings1.testsettings file in VSTS Build definition in Run Functional Test task. I used the variable $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) and its worked for me, If you define the wrong directory Run Tests step will through exception.

     

    Let me know if you still facing the issue.
