I want to simulate simultaneously logging in of 150 authenticated users and have these users perform transactions. How do I do that in VSTS 2008?

VSTS Web Test results when after run are not updated with new values

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:54:30 Z

Hi,
I have an ASPX page that stores data in a SharePoint item. this page has a control named ID, once ID is filled and the button "Get Information" is clicked, the system will fetch data from SQL server and stores data in my controls. Next, I click on save and the system grabs data from the UI and store in the item in SharePoint.

I have recorded a web test with the above action and run it.
Everything fine till now. Next, I have modified my SQL data and change the value of the ID in a way that when "Get information" is pressed, the system should not find anything.
I have run the Web Test again and the system displays the same data as the previous test when the ID was valid.

Is this a normal behavior? Shouldn’t the test results display the up-to-date situation of the actual data?

Thanks,
Samer

Generic Test Aborted

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:20:41 Z

Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2010 to do some evaluation for Test Automation. I am facing the generic test get aborted when I try to follow the instruction creating it. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182626.aspx) The strange thing is it works as expected (the result show pass) for the first time when I click 'Run all test in solution'. But after the first run, if i click again it will show 'Aborted' in the result. I need to close the solution and reopen it again. Then only the first click for 'Run all test in solution' will pass. May I know is there anything that I need to configure so that I can get rid of this hassle? Thanks for the help, David

MSTest fails during build on TFS Server

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:15:52 Z

I am having a problem with my tests that shold run as part of a build on the TFS Server. The MSTest.exe task fails with the following error:

Failed to queue test run 'tfsservice@V-TFSERVER 2009-11-26 10:37:44_Any CPU_Release': Failed to write to an IPC Port: The pipe is being closed.

After the run, all the tests are reported as "Not executed". If I run the same tests in Visual Studio, there is no problem. I have another build on the server (in another Team Project), where tests are being run just fine.

What might be the cause of this, and how can I fix it ?

Thanks,

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation when clicking run test in team suite mstest

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:24:33 Z

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite and i was able to run tests
until a couple of weeks ago.

I run VS as myself in Vista as my user account which is non-admin and
UAC enabled. I get "Exception has been thrown by the target of an
invocation." OK message box when clicking run test in team suite mstest.

If I open the exact same solution in VS running as administrator the
test will run.

I watched process access in procmon and noticed that as non-admin the
MSTestHost.exe process is never even started, so it doesn't get that far.

I'm limp along running VS as admin, but I would really like to get back
to my old dev environment. Can anyone help?

I am a QA person. I am currently working on a project where the developer has created bunch of svc files (services). I have been asked to test these services. I am new to testing services.

Best practices trying to use the same unit test on desktop & device?

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:07:37 Z

I want the same unit tests to run on both the desktop & the device. Is there any recommended means of accomplishing this? Getting started I just use two projects referencing the same files:

    DeviceTestProject
        |_ SharedUnitTest1.cs
    DesktopTestProject
        |_ SharedUnitTest1.cs (same file / linked)

In the test list the @storage attribute for the test can only point to one of these. Any use of TestContext (ClassInitialize, etc.) causes the following, somewhat expected, error:

Unable to set TestContext property for the class [...]: System.ArgumentException: Object of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestTypes.Unit.UnitTestAdapterContext' cannot be converted to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestContext'

Unit test failed on assembly built from netmodules

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:56:34 Z

Hi all, I'm facing a similar problem decribed in this post http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/a15f8a4b-b869-4a35-ac72-57f783bdd7b7.
I build an assembly from net modules using al.exe.
The reason why I split assembly into several net modules is because some modules are written in C# and other in C++/cli.
I choose net modules instead of assemblies because I want only one assembly as a result.
As rockeye, I identify static block initializer as source of my exception:
Test method TestProject1.UnitTest2.TestMethod1 threw exception: System.TypeInitializationException: Une exception a été levée par l'initialiseur de type pour ''. ---> .ModuleLoadException: The C++ module failed to load while attempting to initialize the default appdomain.
---> System.BadImageFormatException: Le module était censé contenir un manifeste de l'assembly. (Exception de HRESULT : 0x80131018).

I succeed in having a small test case reproducing the problem:

a C++ class library which represent the C++ API I want to interop with
a net module which make interoperability.

// TestModule.h
#pragma once
#include "../ClassLibrary/ClassLibrary.h"
using namespace System;
namespace TestModule {
public ref class Class1 {
// TODO: Add your methods for this class here.
 };
}

#pragma unmanaged
public class NativeClass
{
private:
static CClassLibrary staticDataMember;
};
#pragma managed

// TestModule.cpp
#include "stdafx.h" 
#include "TestModule.h" 
#pragma unmanaged 
CClassLibrary NativeClass::staticDataMember; 
#pragma managed

an assembly linked with the net module with assembly manifest.
a test project which test a reference class of the assembly.

If I run tests outside VS with the /noisolation switch, all tests are successfull.
If I remove the static block, tests run inside VS are OK.
If I build the module as an assembly with the static block and run tests inside VS, tests are OK.
Why when spliting assembly in modules tests fail ? I've a small test case which reproduced the problem (tested under win xp-pro 32bits VS Team 2008).

Thanks.

Tests in a solution with several projects breaks

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:55:42 Z

We just moved from NUnit to MSTest in order to get a good collaboration with TFS.
Now we have a solution with several projects approx like this:

Solution
ProjectA
ProjectA.Test
    ProjectATestFiles
      Testsourcefiles
ProjectB
ProjectB.Test
    ProjectBTestFiles
      Testsourcefiles
ProjectC
ProjectC.Test
    ProjectCTestFiles
      Testsourcefiles

Out folder of Testresult looks like this:

ProjectATestFiles
      Testsourcefiles
ProjectBTestFiles
      Testsourcefiles
ProjectCTestFiles
      Testsourcefiles
<assemblies>

Within each test project we have a folder called "Testsourcefiles" where are some xml files included for unit tests (different files for the different projects). The files are marked as "Copy always". The test methods do have the DeploymentItem attribute in order to copy the files to the testresults folder.
The tests are running successfully for each particular project when we run them separate.

But when we run all tests of all projects in the solution together, some of the tests fail. It seems as though it gets a mess with the xml files.
For instance, a test from ProjectC.Test fails because a file was not found. After a check in the testresult folder the files for ProjectC.Test are missing but the files from ProjectA.Test are in there.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Skype Extension icon causes webtest to Fail

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:28:25 Z

I have a web page with a Skype Extension and AOL IM status indicator. When I record a webtest that navigates that page, the webtest records those two url's. The issue is during webtest playback, when those two url's cause the test to fail. However, the test script does not have those two calls recorded, so I can't delete them. I'd like to delete the unnecessary call to those two url's, so that my webtest can get a Pass result.

Here are the two lines that fail:

http://api.oscar.aol.com/presence/icon?k=ad1qwyjuGExH_KCB&t=

http://mystatus.skype.com/bigclassic/

These are just status indicators for Skype and AOL. I'd like to remove the calls to them because they are not a necessary element of my webtest. However, there's no mention of these two calls in the Webtest script. The two lines only show up during playback, when they subsequently fail giving the entire test a "Failed" result.

mstest + vs package + command line

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:21:45 Z

Hi, I'm trying to run a set of integration tests that uses [HostType( "VS IDE" )] from the command line (actually as part of my continuous integration process), but mstest.exe keeps throwing some error that prevents the tests from passing.

There is another thread about this issue but I think that maybe someone here can have a better idea: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/85a2abee-61d4-44c6-9645-b7a47cdadbc9

VS/MsTest does not refresh tests automatically if they generated by a SingleFileGenerator

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:43:11 Z

Hi,

I have a SingleFileGenerator that can generate MsTest test classes from another source. (The SingleFileGenerator is invoked whenever I save the source file by Visual Studio. Also VS takes care of saving the generated test classes to the behind file.)

It works generally great, but there is a strange situation (which is quite frustrating):
1. I some tests already generated.
2. I run all tests in the solution. -> works fine
3. I modify something in my source file, that results in a new test method in the test class.
4. I save the file, the SingleFileGenerator is generating the updated test class with the new method.
5. I build (even rebuild) and again run all tests in the solution. -> the newly added test method is not included!

It seems that the test engine did not realize that the test class has been updated. Build/rebuild does not help, the only way to run the new test is to a) touch the generated file manually and save b) click the "refresh" button on the "Test View" window.

My suspicion is that the test runner is somehow triggers the refresh event only when the test class file is interactively changed (someone types something in), and not when the Visual Studio updates anyhow the file content.

Is there any way to fix / workaround this issue?

How can I add an input/property to a coded web test?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:07:53 Z

I have a coded web test and I need a way for the user running the test to provide input to the test without having to change the code. For example, it could be a string property that allows the user to specify the URL that the coded web test will use to test against.

I've tried do handle this similar to a web test plug-in by adding a property to the coded web test and hoping that I could right-click on the test in the Test View window and click 'Properties' and be able to have the property show up in the property window. Just like you can do with a plug-in. of course, this didn't work.

Any way I can do this?

Selecting specific records from CSV file DataSource in a web test

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:28:17 Z

I have a situation where we need to select only specific records from a CSV DataSource File based on a condition.

We have a large CSV file containing a collection of Addresses (Street Address, City, State, Zip). Then there is a Web Test that uses these addresses.

Now the issue is that I would want to use the addresses that only have a particular city, say the city of the logged in user, during the test run.

I'm pretty new to Web Testing. So this might be a silly question. But can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

How do you unit test a private function that returns a List<> of private class objects?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:57:02 Z

In code similar to the example below, a unit test must access B and GetBs() through the private accessor for A, as shown in the example unit test. However, this won't work, because GetBs() returns List<B> and the runtime fails to cast it to List<A_Accessor.B>. How do I unit test A.GetBs()?

public class A
{
    private class B
    {
    ...
    }

    private static List<B> GetBs()
    {
    ...
    }

    ...
}
public class AUnitTest
{
    public void GetBsTest()
    {
        List<A_Accessor.B> = A_Accessor.GetBs();
    }
}

Unit test succeeds within VS2008 but fails with MSTest.exe

Hi,

I have a unit test which uses the Microsoft Enterprise Library. The test succeeds when launched from VS IDE but fails when launched as a command line.
The exception I get is that a type referenced with the test app.config could not be resolved.

I checked that the assembly containing the type is correctly deployed (which is the case and I even a direct reference in the code to this type).

The type 'Project.Data.MySql.MySqlDatabase, Project.Data.MySql' cannot be resolved. Please verify the spelling is correct or that the full type name is provided

Assert.AreEqual gives incorrect results

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:57:23 Z

Hi,

If you are using Assert.AreEqual to compare doubles with a specified tolerance then this method gives incorrect results in case one of the doubles in NaN.

Example:

        [TestMethod]
        public void TestForMSDN()
        {

                double simulatedResult = double.NaN;
                double expectedResult = 1.0;
                double _TOLERANCE = 1E-14;
                Assert.AreEqual(expectedResult, simulatedResult, _TOLERANCE);
        }

If you run this test method then no exception is thrown. Interesting thing is that removing tolerance causes the exception to be thrown. This is causing problems in unit testing of our source code because we have to use tolerance.
Does any one know a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance!

I am facing some problem when i tried to run the recorded scripts in VPN.

Please go through the following points:

First I connected my local machine to the remote client machine with VPN (virtela) connection.

Then I recorded some scripts in VSTS 2008. (Please note here that I did not recorded the transaction while virtela is connecting).

Then I ran the scripts that I have recorded.

Issue Noticed:

The script failed and was not able to connect with the remote machine.

(Request failed: The remote name could not be resolved: 'URL')

My query:

How can we test & run the recorded scripts inside the VPN.

Error running mstest, any ideas on how to fix this?

Mon, 18 May 2009 14:44:53 Z

I am writing an automated integration test for an isolated mode VS Shell application (for those that don't know what that is, it's an app that extends Visual Studio shell).

When I run the test from with the VS IDE it runs without errors. When I run the test from the command line usin MSTest I get this error stack trace:

===============================
Run has the following issue(s):
Warning: VS IDE Host Adapter: error shutting down VS IDE: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
   at EnvDTE._DTE.Quit()
   at Microsoft.VSSDK.Tools.VsIdeHostAdapters.VisualStudioIde.Dispose(Boolean explicitDispose) in f:\dd\vssdk\VSIntegration\Tools\src\IDEHostAdapter\HostAdapter\AgentSide\VisualStudioIde.cs:line 378
   at Microsoft.VSSDK.Tools.VsIdeHostAdapters.VsIdeHostAdapter.CleanupHostSide() in f:\dd\vssdk\VSIntegration\Tools\src\IDEHostAdapter\HostAdapter\AgentSide\VsIdeHostAdapter.cs:line 412
===============================

I invoke MSTest using this command line:

mstest.exe /runconfig:SmokeTests.testrunconfig /testcontainer:GenericShell_IntegrationTestProject.dll /test:Test_AllPackagesLoaded /test:Test_VerifyProjectAndSolutionDirIsSetToDefaultValue

The SmokeTests.testrunconfig file contains configuration information for the test runner on how to load the shell.

The unit test method itself is decorated with these attributes

[TestMethod]
[HostType( "VS IDE" )]
public void Test_AllPackagesLoaded()

The attribute HostType instructs mstest to use the VS IDE as the shell, and in the config file I specified the registry location for my isolated app.

Any ideas why I am seeing this errror?

Webplugin loads first record only

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 04:50:58 Z

just implemented this code from Sean Lumley's Blog .

but the problem is my table has 3 records but it runs only once for first row.i dont know why can some one tell me how it will run for all rows existing in table.

i m using code as it is.do i need to call Getnextrow in post web section.although i tried that 2 but no result.

From a web test plug-in, how can I stop the remaining iterations from running?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:56:01 Z

I've implemented Sean Lumley's custom data source and its working fine. Now what I want to do with it, is change the access of this custom data source to unique. Right now the code is setup for a Sequential access. In the method GetNextRow(), when it reaches the end, it loops back around.

So what I've done to make it unique, is instead of looping back around, I have it return null. Then in the plug-in, if I get null returned from the GetNextRow() method, I stop the Web Test like so:

e.WebTest.AddCommentToResult("No more data rows.");
e.WebTest.Stop();

Only problem is, it continues with the test iterations and prints the comment. For example, if I have my web test set to 10 iterations and the CustomDS returns only 1 data row, after the first web test, it still tries to run the remaining 9 tests and each one shows "No more data rows.".

Instead, what I want the web test to do in this scenario is after the first web test, stop with a message "No more data rows." and not even try the remaining 9 tests.

So basically, from a web test plug-in, how do I stop all remaining iterations from running?

How to have a unit test not run when is part of an ordered test?

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:47:51 Z

I am creating a series of tests but they need to go in order since in one I'm testing writing the file and on the next I'm testing loading the file for example. Now, when I make the ordered test and run it works well, but when I run all the tests in the solution, some fail because it executes the orderedtest and also it executes the unit tests. How can I mark the test that it already belongs to an ordered test and avoid running it outside of the ordered test.

Does Web Services unit test requires proxy?

Usually when we consume a webservice, we create a proxy and refer the service in the client and we call the web methods, here we need to create the proxy. Like wise when we create unit test for the webservices, is proxy generation is necessary or not

        public void MyTestMethod()
        {
            I want to use DataFile created by MyTestInitialize method.
         }

But here MyTestInitialize method is not executing, as MyTestMethod is trying to make an data connection with DataFile.xml and it get failed. I want to use DataFile.xml file as a data file in my Data Driven Testing and it should be created on run time. Please help me if there is any other workaround for this.

VSTS Test Edition 2008 with SharePoint 2008 - upload dialogs

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:20:55 Z

Hi there.

Having a bit (!) of a problem trying to get a webtest to record a test where a file is uploaded via a browse/save field in SharePoint. Scenario is that a user opens a page, is presented with a Browse button next to a free text entry field. They either click browse and locate the file in their file system, or enter the filename/directory combo in the field. The user then hits Save and the file is uploaded.

Unfortunately it appears that the webtest is not recording this step. Even if the filename and directory are entered manually - rather than via the Browse function - the webtest fails to record this action.

With other automated testing tools it's possible to locate the field name used for the submit function and add code that directly addresses it but not sure how to do this with Visual Studio.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

WebTest VS TE 2008 - file upload problem

Hi,

I've got a question. I've recorded a webtest, exported it to C# code, and re-run it.
During one scenario file upload should be done, test ends with "Passed" result, but file is not uploaded.

Could you take a look at this code fragment and help me out ??

FormPostHttpBody request23Body = new FormPostHttpBody();

request23Body.FormPostParameters.Add("__EVENTTARGET", this.Context["$HIDDEN1.__EVENTTARGET"].ToString());

request23Body.FormPostParameters.Add("__EVENTARGUMENT", this.Context["$HIDDEN1.__EVENTARGUMENT"].ToString());

request23Body.FormPostParameters.Add("__LASTFOCUS", this.Context["$HIDDEN1.__LASTFOCUS"].ToString());

request23Body.FormPostParameters.Add("__VIEWSTATE", this.Context["$HIDDEN1.__VIEWSTATE"].ToString());

request23Body.FormPostParameters.Add("IconBar.ascx$optMode", "VIEW");

ASP.NET Unit Tests with tag in Web.config

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:25:28 Z

Because of other requirements, we use the <location> tag in our web.config around the <system.web> section. This seems to have the side-effect of breaking unit testing functionality, as when the unit tests are executed, the process add its own <system.web> section, with a new <httpModules> subsection, which throws an error when trying to access the site. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround that lets us keep the <location> tag?
