Network Suite Jobs: Keyword-Test selection
Hi, i use TestComplete and TextExecute on a remote machine. In my TestComplete workspace i got many Keyword-Tests. Now i want to add multiple tests to the Jobs in the Network Suite but i can only select one test at once and it takes its time until the test is loaded from the remote TestExecute into the NetworkSuite.Why it took so long to choose and load a test for a NetworkSuite Job? I want to quick add multiple tests to the Job list without waiting after each new test added. It should be possible to drag and drop the KeywordTests in TestComplete to the NetworkSuite Job list. Furthermore i didn´t understand the behavior of the remote test selection window. There is no directory hierarchy like in the project workspace and i have to scroll across a large list of test and the next bad thing: the lists isn´t sortedalphabetically. Searching the right test in a list withover 200 KeywordTests without directory structure or sorting function is a time-killing job :) Hope you will find a better way for this. Long live the softwareergonomics!
Distributed Testing - Test Execute never moves on to 2nd test if 1st test is too long???
Background - My Project suite has multiple projects, each is ONLY ran in a distributed setup. The Project is ran every night on a Master VM using TestExecute. The Network Project contains 4 tests: 1: Job One / Task One - deploys to a VM to test in Chrome Project One) 2: Job Two / Task Two - deploys to a VM to test in Chrome (Project Two) 3: Job Three / Job Three - The job contains two tasks, deploys to separate VM's to test customer-facing site in different browsers (Project Three 4: Script / Send Email - script under Network Project that saves the test log and emails it to various business owners (Network Project / Advanced / Script) The problem: The first test under the Network Project can be quite long, sometimes taking up to three hours. After it finishes (I receive an email when it finishes via a script) it never moves on to the 2nd job, but just hangs indefinitely. However, if I disable all but a few of the tests within the Project One, thus greatly reducing the time Network Project Test One takes to run, it moves on to Network Project Test Two with no problem. I don't understand why that would happen. I have one test within Project One that fails every night, but it moves on to the other with no problems; also, if I manually force one of the tests to fail during short run as described above, the Network Project still moves on to the next test/job. No to mention that I also have failures in Test 2, and Test 3 doesn't fail to start. If there was a setting somewhere that I needed to change (a "if test takes longer than 2 hours" setting, something like that), I would have expected TE to close after a time instead of just hanging. I come back into the office in the morning and TE still says "Running" in the corner, but it's not doing anything. I couldprobablyturnall of the tests into tasks under 1 job, thus they will all run in parallel. But then TE will just hang and never execute the Send Email test, and since I want it to run after everything has finished that won’t really work. Also, each task is set up Action After Run=Log off from computer and UsePrevious Instance=Restart TestComplete. Don't know if that is relevant or not, but it feels like it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
