QAComplete and test run. Gap in test execution

Question

Howdy folks... ok, have a suite of about 60 tests.... have them scheduled... and executed on remote system....
&nbsp;
In the past few weeks... I have noticed an extra long test execution timen for the suite... the suite should run in about 17 hours.... but has been running over 27 hours etc....
&nbsp;
Upon investigation, I see, ,randomly, and nor repeatable at will... I see soem tests taking... 2 hours to run, these are 10 to 15 minute tests... but they show show as taking over 2 hours...&nbsp;
&nbsp;
My last run had 59 tests... but 5 of these took over 2-3 hours,,, again, should only take 10 to 15 mins.
&nbsp;
I have been unable to determine why yet... it is random tests and times so its not the same tests, and time of day... its random.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In QAComplete the log displays nothing for those tests when&nbsp; it happens... all tests before and after, fine and dandy log shows info.... but for the ones that appear to go into the twilight zone... log contains no data.
&nbsp;
I look for the test log for these tests in TEST COMPLETE and there is nothing there... those tests dont show.... when that happens to them.
&nbsp;
And yes, the next run... next night, those same tests will run fine and it will happen to a handful mof other tests....
Strange.

Hi azwip,
&nbsp;
I have a support ticket for something similar.
&nbsp;
When you click in QAComplete on the test without a log, is the actual result: "TestComplete (TestExecute) was terminated for an unknown reason."?
&nbsp;
I could find the logs on my test client, QAC just didn't get them from there. Same at yours?
&nbsp;
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom, no, in my case... in QA Complete, when I click on a test result for one of the tests that show as it ran over two hours... it simply states. Failed and no records found.
&nbsp;
Really weird.

Hi azwip,
&nbsp;
our problem startet right after a windows 10 update on our test clients.

Hmmm, I'll have to check into that.... its just really strange... like last nights run, again, a random test... shows it "ran" for almost" 3 hours.... but, in QAComplete, no results... so I can't see what may have happened.... and in TestComplete... under results, that test is not even listed???
&nbsp;
But, next run, changing nothing... runs fine and dandy.
&nbsp;

So, still not sure what is happening.
&nbsp;
Anyone else seeing this?
&nbsp;
Every night now... random tests... out of 50, at 3 or 4, show in QAComplete as taking well over 2-3 hours....
but, no info in the log, I have no way to see what is happening.&nbsp; The test before and the one after, all show fine.
&nbsp;
Then, in TestComplete itself, the logs.... do NOT even show those Long running tests (thave have no log at all in QAComplete).
&nbsp;
For example, If I have:
&nbsp;
Test1
Test2
Test3
&nbsp; &nbsp;thru
Test 50
&nbsp;
Each test normally runs for 10 mins... and their log (pass or fail) can be seen in QAComplete run history and of course in TestComplete
&nbsp;
At random, I may see (In QAComplete) as an example:
&nbsp;
Test1 - Started and completed (09:00/09:10)
Test2 - Started and Completed (09:10 / 09:21)
&nbsp; &nbsp;THEN:
Test3 - Started and Completed (09:22 / 13:01) - Over 3hours!!!!
Test4 - Started and Completed (13:02 / 13:11)
etc etc...
&nbsp;
QAComplete displays result for all the above... but says no records for that 3+ hour run!&nbsp;&nbsp;
TestComplete does not show a log at all for Test3 (the 3+ hour run)
&nbsp;
In TestComplete I hav logs for all tests, except the ones that run for a ridiculous length of time.... its like they didnt even exist.
&nbsp;
Next time i run, those tests (e.g. Test3) will run flawless and the same problem will occur with a different test(s)
&nbsp;
I can't even see a log to see what the heck is happening... Lol
Any ideas?
&nbsp;
Thanks again!
&nbsp;
