Recently I was at a customer place and there was a question popped up. Question was “How Test Studio handles multiple Alerts” or rather question was “Can Test Studio handles multiple Alerts? “. Answer is yes, Test Studio can handle Multiple Alerts very smoothly.

To demonstrate this I have created a simple application. This application is having one button and on click event of the button we are generating 10 alerts.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo Multiple Alerts</title>
<link href="demo.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" >
function GenerateMultipleAlerts(e)
{

for (var i = 1 ; i <= 10 ; i++) {

var displayMessage = "Alert Message " + i;
alert(displayMessage);

}

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Multiple Alerts Testing</h1>

<button id="addbutton" onclick="GenerateMultipleAlerts()">  Generate Multiple Alerts </button>
</body>
</html>

Let us record testing steps of this web application. After recording you will find that all the 10 alerts handle has been recorded.

clip_image002

After recording the test, execute it in browser of your choice. You will find all alerts handle has been passed successfully.

clip_image003

We can conclude this post by saying Test Studio handles multiple alerts very gracefully. Thanks for reading this post.

How to work with If-Else logical steps in Test Studio

Posted by

0

In this post we will take a look on working with logical steps in Test Studio.

clip_image001

We will understand working with Logical Steps in Test Studio using a Test Scenario. Let us suppose you have a Web Application as following. User will enter numbers in text input and click on the Add Numbers button to get the summation of two numbers. Summation of numbers are displayed in a span.

clip_image002

Now suppose we have a test scenario stated as below,

“If output contains 89 then navigate to Google (or perform any other tasks) else navigate to Bing (or perform other tasks)

We are going to walkthrough, how this could be achieved.

Start recording the test.

Step 1

Navigate to application. In this example test application is on local host and can be accessed at URL http://localhost:55391/demoifelseteststudio.html

Step 2

Enter numbers in both input text boxes

Step 3

Click on the Add Numbers button

Step 4

From docked Test Studio panel, select option of Enable or Disable hover over highlighting

clip_image003

And select output span to put a verification step,

clip_image004

Select the option of Build Verifications. Here create a verification step by clicking on Content then choosing contains from drop down.

clip_image006

Now minimize the browser and go back to Test Studio to verify that all test steps got created as expected or not. Make sure that you are minimizing Test Studio not closing it.

Step 5

In Test Studio you will find all the recorded steps so far,

clip_image008

Now from the ribbon click on Logic and select If-Else

clip_image001[1]

After selecting if-else, you will find two steps has been added. Hover over step contains if statement. You will get a green add button.

clip_image009

Click on the green add button to add a verification step as condition of if statement. Next you will find that a green add button next to the verification step (in this case InnerText Contains 89 of outputspan). Click on the green add button to select that verification. After that you will notice that that verification step has been added as condition of if statement.

clip_image011

Step 6

Maximize the browser in which we were recording the testing steps. And browse to http://www.google.co.in/ . Again minimize the browser and come back to Test Studio.

Step 7

You will find a step has been added.

clip_image013

Drag this step and drop on if condition step.

Step 8

Maximize the browser in which we were recording the testing steps. And browse to http://www.bing.com/ . This time close the browser to stop the recording.

Step 9

You will find a step has been added.

clip_image014

Drag this step and drop on else condition step.

Now you have successfully added if-else logical step in the Test. Go ahead and execute the test and you will find all the test steps has been passed with if statement

clip_image015

If you change verification step form contains to not contains then steps of else condition will get executed.

clip_image017

In this way you can work with if-else logical condition in Test Studio. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.

See How Telerik Test Studio helps in Performance Testing

Performance Testing

Performance Testing is being performed to measure smoothness and readiness of the application. While creating an application the vital factors should be kept in mind are as follows

  • Speed of the application at any given condition
  • Response time of the application
  • How much resources being used by the application
  • How stable is the application at given time
  • Throughput of the application
  • For web application times spent in making HTTP calls at server and client etc.

Performance Testing is type of testing that test application on above listed criteria.

image

Performance Testing measures performance of the application. After measuring performance of the application it sets the base line for further testing. Performance testing is very important since cooperate prestige of the application or decision on the final release of application based on the analysis of the results produced by this test. Performance testing does not find any defect in the application. Often, we perform Performance testing on a stable system.

Performance Test finds performance issue in the

  • Database access
  • Network latency like time spent on the network
  • Time spent on reading or writing files on the disc
  • Time spent on making HTTP calls etc.

So we can summarize Performance testing

image

Load Testing

Load Testing determines user experience when application is under load. In Load Testing, we test application with maximum number of users or with the expected number of users in the production environment.

image

 

Load Testing determines upper limit of the application. Load testing simulates expected number of users from the production environment and tests the application with that number of users. When we exceed number of users to test the application much beyond expected number of users from production environment then we call testing as STRESS TESTING. In majority of the time we consider Stress Testing as Load Testing.

Purpose of Load Testing is to find defect in the application when application is running under maximum load. Some of the defects could be as follows

  • Memory leak
  • Buffer Overflow
  • Server failure
  • Network failure
  • Input devices reading failure
  • Writing on output device failure etc.

We can summarize that Load Testing tests application behavior and sustainability with the maximum number of user inputs.

In this post we will follow step by step approach to setup environment for Load Testing in Test Studio. Very first go to Program ->Telerik ->Test Execution and open Configure Load Test Services

clip_image001

Next you will get dialog box to configure the services.

clip_image002

In this dialog box you need to make sure that all the services are started and most importantly make sure that you have given correct database instance name in the Reporter Database Connection setting

clip_image003

In above case kumar is the database server name running on my machine. So I provided instance name kumar\sqlexpress. You do not need to create TestStudioReportingDB database manually. Test Studio will create this database in given database server. After making sure all the information is provided correctly click on Ok to restart all the services.

Next open Test Studio and create a test of type Load Test. Very first you will get following screen

clip_image005

Click on Okay and from the ribbon click on Manage

clip_image006

Here you got an option to Add Controller and manage the number of Virtual users. To Add Controller click on Add Controller button

clip_image007

In Add Controller dialog box give the name of the computer or IP of the computer you want to set as controller and click on Test Connection. After successful connection click on the Add button to add a controller

clip_image008

On the successful adding of controller you need to set the number of Virtual Users for the Controller as following. We have added 258 virtual users in this controller

clip_image009

Next we need to set Controller and Reporter. Select the computer from drop down and click on the connect button.

clip_image010

After successful connect you can see green signals beside Controllers, Reporters and Agents.

clip_image011

All three green signals imply that environment for load testing in Test Studio has setup successfully. Now you can go to design and create ass cases to perform Load Testing
