Load "Selected" in a Property Loader test step from file

Hi,
The Import/Export tool stores its selected properties in the file �PLPropertyLoader.ini�. Is it possible to use this file to specify which properties a �Property Loader Test Step� should load? How? Then the information about what to export and load dynamically later is stored in the same location and the risk possibilities is reduced to one place.
Best regards,

By default, the Property Loader step type stores its selected property list in the step's property "Step.PropertyList". The Edit Property Loader dialog box has the "Property List Source" expression control that specifies this as its value.
If you created a Station Globals array property of type "DatabasePropertyMapping", you could specify that the steps use this property. You might have to set to show hidden properties to find the "DatabasePropertyMapping" type in the insert menu. Note that when you do this when you edit the selected list in a step you are editing the selected list stored in the station global array property.

  • How can we upload test cases from excel to MTM 2013

    Hi,
    In my current project we are using Microsoft Test Manager 2013. We have prepared test cases in excel.
    How can we upload these test cases from excel to MTM 2013. I have tried with TestCaseMigratorPlus but it is giving some exceptions.
    Thanks,

    Hi Naveen,
    If you encountered any issues when using TestCaseMigratorPlus with MTM2013, please download this package uploaded at August 28 here:
    https://tcmimport.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches which allows to use this tool with VS2013 and TFS 2013. Maybe it can resolve your issue.
    If you still can't use TestCaseMigrationPlus tool with MTM2013,as far as I know, currently there is no other tool for importing test cases from Excel to MTM2013. But we can highlight and copy
    all actions and expected results from Excel and then paste it to test case steps. For detailed steps, please see ‘Add action and validation test steps from Microsoft Excel or Word’ section in this document:

  • I"m having trouble using Teststand's " property loader step

    ",I tried using the Demo sequence given with Teststand Ver 1.03(which I"m using) under drive:Teststand\Exersices\Database, it works fine (Test passes) but there is no data in the Local Variables, I know that i got the columens right I might have problems selecting the rows, I tried using the Local's Variable name or step name but it didn't help, I"ll appericiate any idea's

    Hello Kitty -
    I am curious about your problem, have you placed breakpoints in your sequence before and after your property loader Database step to see that the values aren't being loaded? If the step isn't loading properly there is usually some sort of error especially when you have your database of properties set up on the same pattern as the demo. Are you seeing Step.Comp and the Limit values change but not your Local variables? This would be an interesting detail to note. Also, as far as selecting rows the demo goes by "STEPNAME" due to the nature of how the table is set up, if yours follows the same pattern, selecting the same row would be best.
    If you are seeing the changes at Run-time but not when your sequence completes then this is expected behavior and the t
    ool that you may want to use is the "Import/Export Properties..." (Located in the tool menu) to give you more permanent alterations to your sequence. As always, refer to the user manual for a discussion on differences between 'Property Loader', 'Limit Loader', and 'Import/Export Properties...'

  • Using Property Loader with Renamed Steps

    If I have a test step in a loop where the step is renamed using RenamePreviousStep after each iteration, is there a simple way to use Property Loader to load test limits corresponding to the dynamically changing test name?
    The only way I have found to do this so far causes errors at runtime on the non-existent step names in the file which have to be ignored. Also it is not very slick to call PropertyLoader every time the loop iterates.
    Is there a more elegant way to load limits for steps which "don't yet exist"?

    How do you organise your limit file.
    Do you have a different Start/End Marker for each of your iterations
    so that you have the correctly named step(s) between the markers?
    You could try loading an array of limits into a local array(s) from
    your Limit File then index through the array as the datasource for your
    limits. Remember its a PropertyLoader, so its not limited to just
    limits. That way you only read it once and you are not tied to the Step
    name.
    I originally had all limits within a single Start-End marker pair. Having now given each limit set an individual Start-End marker and setting PropertiesListSource dynamically in the Loader Step in the loop, that works OK.  Perhaps not so elegant still as each iteration of the loop requires a Property Loader step instead of loading everything in one hit (I'm guessing there has to be some performance overhead in multiple property loader calls vs. a single load of all limits) but at least there are no errors on the loader step now I am only loading that test which exists after the loop rename.
    The alternative of loading data into arrays had ocurred to me and I may experiment with this if performance becomes an issue with the first approach.
    Thanks for your reply Ray, its much appreiated.

  • How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

    Hi,
    I would like to take values from a property file  and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
    I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
    I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
    step.propertieslist[0].
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    m
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I agree that it would be nice.  The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically.  What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone.  The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype.  And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
    The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters.  Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter. 
    I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters.  This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
    The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API.  HMMM now that would be an interesting project...

  • Can I set the "step run mode" -property with the property loader

    Is it possible to set the "step run mode"-property  by using the property loader to "Skip" , "Normal" or "Force PASS" ...in TestStand 3.0 ?

    I turned on Station Options>>Preferences>>Show Hidden Properties and then exported the Step.TS.Mode property to a limits file. I then added a PropertyLoader step and it functioned correctly. 
    Note that importing a hidden TS subproperty makes an edit to the sequence file, even if done at runtime. Thus if you later save the file, you might end up inadvertently saving the last imported values. This isn't necessarily a problem if the values in the file are always overwritten by a property loader step.
    (btw, I tested this in 4.0, but I'm hopeful it would also work in 3.0)

  • Property Loader and Step Names in TestStand 3.5

    Hi All,
    I enheritted a job from someone else who left the project unfinished.  There are roughly 100 or more steps all together.  The Property Loader is used to load limits and comparision type into Step.Comp, Step.High.Limit, and Step.Low.Limit from a text (.txt) file.  Step names that were created by the original developer has many charaters that I never thought to include. 
    Examples are TN0500.x.zz_DMM: Meas AURID +/- via MRRM Switch, TN0400.x.zz_DMM: Meas AUR Power Path (+), TN0410.x.zz_DMM: Meas AUR Power Parallel 10 ohm, SCNR1: Close Relay for 1PPS +/-, TN0445.x.zz_DMM: Meas MRR Resistance w/ 1 Ohm, etc.
    It has space, :, /, +, -, (), etc. as part of the name.  When the Property Load is executed, it appears to load the limits and comparision type from the correct file.  But it seems to load limits from from no where (not exist in the text file) for several steps later.  They are TestStand steps that are group together or in the same sub-sequence.  Also these are limits that are group together in between the same start and and end flags in the text file.
    Does anyone know if any certain character such as :, /, ect. in the step name cause any strange behave for TestStand 3.5?
    Thanks,
    leek

    I am eliminating all special characters from the step names, and use underscore (_) to replace space.  So the new step names are one contiguous string.  TesStand is configured to generate a database report file.  Special character may have side effect in the database.
    The suspicion of special character comes in when the TestStand is executed, some steps read comparison type, high and low limits fine.  But some steps within the same group that read from the same Start and End flags in the text file appears to read the comparison type and limit values from no where.
    Specifically, I have comparison type of "GELE"  20  0, "LT"  20  10, etc.  The failed steps show that it read "LT" 0.  These are resistance measurement.  So the tests failed.  There is no "LT"  0 any where in the limit file.  There are "LT", but not 0.

  • How to apply Property Loader to all sequences in the Sequence File?

    HI,
    I'm following the help instructions for the Property Loader and it states....
    Use Current Sequence File—Selects the file where the step is located.
    Sequence—Specifies the name of the sequence into which to import variables and properties. The specified sequence must exist in the specified sequence file. Select the <ALL SEQUENCES> tag from the drop-down list to instruct TestStand to import variables and properties for all of the sequences in the specified sequence file. You must specify a valid sequence name for the step to work properly.
    In my specific sequence file I added the Callbacks:  SequenceFileLoad, SequenceFileUnload, PreUUT. In addition to that, my MainSequence is calling 2 subsequences.
    I put the propertyLoader step (setting few values of the SequenceFileGlobals) in the setup section of the SequenceFileLoad, checked the 'Use Current Sequence File' and selected ALL SEQUENCES tag in the 'Sequence' option.  I verified that it does what I wanted.  Then, is it entered the PreUUT subsequnce, the values returned to the "original" values.
    Is that a bug?
    If not, how do I use the PropertyLoader in a sequenceFile that include several subsequences as well as Callback sequences.
    Thanks
    Rafi

    Ooops, sorry about that...
    I forgot to mention....it is TS 3.5.
    As per your questions-- yes they all in the same sequence file. 
         mySeqFile.seq
               SequenceFileLoad
               SdequnceFileUnload
               PreUUT
               Seq1
               Seq2
    AS I said....I put the property loader in the setup of the SequenceFileLoad,  I see that it works properly in that subsequence.  Then, after the SuequenceFileLoad is finished, I do Ctl+F5 for Test UUT's.  I put a breakpoint in the first step of the preUUT subsequence and check the context.  I notice that the variables in the FileGlobals to whom the property loader writes, have been changed back to the original values.
    I'll try to create a simple program to duplicate it but it may take me time as this test station is very busy.
    Thanks

  • Property Loader won't Import ConditionExpr (Loop Conditions)

    Hello,
    I'm finishing up a project that automatically builds and distributes my test sequences.  It uses the property loader at runtime to get the actual step parameters.  Everything is working well, and my process is fully automated, but it can't seem to import the ConditionExpr property (conditions for loops).  I have about 20 other properties that all import fine, but I can't do anything with timing and if I try, I get stuck in an infinite loop.
    I've attached a dummy sequence file and the corresponding CSV.  The step names are weird, but that's just because of how our database for result files works.  Each of the tests is just getting the current time, looping until the duration specified has passed, and then comparing.  Pointless test but it demonstrates the problem.
    My tests build dynamically, so there are common step types - each step is defaulted to a common version - they get updated from the property loader.  Any insight would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    TTIM.csv ‏12 KB

    Hello Bryan,
    I think I have found out what is happening. I looked at your properties file in Notepad and noticed that the FileGlobals.Duration < 5 did not have quotes around it. This causes TestStand to evaluate the expression when it is being imported which causes it to be set to true. If it has quotes around it, TestStand will still evaluate it, but it does so by removing the quotes and then putting the expression in the While loop. I am not sure what caused the file to be exported this way. I was hoping you could walk me through the steps you did to export the file so we can try and see what might have gone wrong. Also what version of TestStand are you using?
    When I exported the properties I went through these steps:
    1. Go to Tools»Import/Export Properties
    2. Selected the destination for my file and the format
    3. Went to the Properties Tab and exported all of the properties
    4. Pressed Export
    A workaround you can use right now is to go into your properties files and manually put quotes around the expressions for the While Loop. Look forward to your response and have a great day!

  • How to use the property-loader?

    Hello,
    i´m using TS 3.5 and LV 8.0. Now i also want to use the built-in property-loader from Teststand.
    Is there somewhere a documentation for "beginners" how to use this property-loader? At the end i want to read parameters from an ascii-file which updates my input-parameters of the steps in the current-sequence.
    I know how to read and change parameters from teststand in labview via active-x, but i have no idea how to use this propertyloader-thing.
    Is there an easy help file somewhere in the net ( I havent found one yet)?
    Thanks for your help.

    Meanwhile i can use the propertyloader for Limits and Variables which are in a container of the teststep. What not worked was:
    1.) setting the properties of a "Messagebox". For example the property "Button1Label". Why is this not working?
    2.) The second thing what is not clear: Do i need for each sequence an own property-loader? I tested it with a sequence with one subsequence. Does the subsequence needs its own property-loader?
    Currently the import-csv-file looks like this:
    Start Marker,,,
    <Step Name>,Limits.Low,Limits.High,Cont.Voltage
    TestStep_1,1,2,4
    TestStep_2,8,16,32
    End Marker,,,
    When Teststep_1 and Teststep_2 are both in mainsequence then it works. When i copy Teststep_2 in a subsequence then i get an error (-18).
    Any ideas about my two questions?
    Thanks
