Can the sequence pass/fail status be controlled in Test Stand?

I have a sequence that contains a DoWhile loop. Within the loop are 5 or 6 steps that are executed. If the result of those steps is a fail the loop runs again until it passes or meets its allowable number of iterations. My problem is that if an iteration fails and then passes the result for the sequence is failed. Can the pass/fail status be controlled via an expression etc? I know I can create a subsequence and loop in it with the properties. I am just curious to know if there is a way it can be done like I have explained.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Troy

Troy,
You might be able to use the RunState.ThisContext.SequenceFailed property. Set this equal to False after your loop runs, and the sequence should report as if it passed.

Pass/fail status (UUT Result) of my main sequence

I would like to have my last step in my test sequence to be a DLL passing to my SQL database a part number, a serial number from “RunState.Caller.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber” and Pass/Fail status of my Test Sequence.
Can I pass pass/fail status of my test sequence to my DLL before execution is completed?
Thank you,
Henry
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Access Pass/Fail status by using RunState.SequenceFailed. It will be True if the test failed.
Hope this helps,

Why does captivate 5 scorm 2004 change the pass/fail status when using complete/incomplete

SUMMARY: I am trying to use SCORM 2004 reporting but I am finding out ADOBE does not diffentiate between COMPLETE/INCOMPLETED and PASSED/FAILED variables in the SCORM 2004.
RESULT: I can not accurately get the passing/failing status from the course.
QUESTION: Is their anything I can do or does ADOBE have a patch they have release which will accurately report the passed/failed STATUS as well as the completed/incompleted status.
OTHER RESEARCH: I even attempted to post these "proofs" on scorm.com and they have something called "SATISFACTION TRACKED" to accomodate content creation systems (CAPTIVATE 5) which does not follow the standards of SCORM 2004.
BACKGROUND: the report status "Incomplete/Complete" and "Pass/Fail" under the publishing options for SCORM 2004 essentially mean the same thing when the CAPTIVATE COURSE sends setvar commands to the SCORM API... In other words the SCORM API receives the same exact commands when publishing in both modes. "THIS IS WRONG"
why is the wrong? IF REPORTING; incomplete/complete ; the CAPTIVATE 5 COURSE SHOULD NOT "change" the STATUS OF PASS/FAIL when attempting to report COMPLETE/INCOMLETE with 100% slide views.
DEMO #3> SHOWS THE PROBLEM
About DEMO #1 and DEMO #2> these are other reporting options I attempted with other problems arrising..so these images are just for supporting my original problem which is shown in DEMO #3...
DEMO 1 (REPORT STATUS has no affect on reporting):SETTINGS:
PASS: (PROBLEM)
Anything above Passing Score is not recorded to LMS (once passing is reached...no more bookmarks are recorded)
FAIL: (CORRECT)
Failure gets sent to the database on the last screen with "completed"
DEMO 2 (Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api):
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
NOTHING GETS SENT TO DATABASE (stuck in final score screen forever)...because it says "INCOMPLETE"
DEMO 3:
Report status [Complete/Incomplete Pass/Fail] has no impact on commands sent to scorm api
SETTINGS:
PASS: (CORRECT)
Very Last page gets sent to the Database with a 90% passing with "completed"
FAIL: (PROBLEM)
LAST SLIDE SENDS "completed" but GETS SENT AS A PASSING SCORE??? even when it is a failure
(IN OTHER WORDS ADOBE CHANGES THE PASS/FAIL STATUS based on slide views...
this is WRONG ....REALLY WRONG becuase I am trying to report
"COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE" for 100% slide views
PASS/FAIL OPTIONS:
OPTION I CAN PURSUE?
SO WHAT CAN I DO? YES, I CAN TELL THE LMS...to COMPARE THE SCORE RECEIVED DURING A "COMPLETE" status...and then change the grade in the LMS based on the SCORE IN THE LMS...BUT THAT WOULD MEAN THE LMS COULD REPORT ONE GRADE and the COURSE COULD REPORT A DIFFERENT GRADE....and that would not be good.
ALL OF OUR COURSES SHOW THE STUDENT THE FINAL SCORE WITHIN EACH COURSE..
QUESTION TO ADOBE?
SO ADOBE when are you going to differentiate these two reporting options so that the PASS/FAIL OPTIONS ARE ACCURATELY REPORTED WHEN USING COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE?
MORE INFORMATION
HERE IS THE SCORM.COM "Satisfaction" adjustment (very last line) to accomodate inconsistent reporting in CAPTIVATE 5.

Hi,
Here's something I found in a similar situation... hope this helps!
After publishing your CP5 project as a SCORM 2004 zip file, unzip the file so you can get into the separate files. Open the imsmanifest.xml file with a text editor; I like using Notepad++. Search for the line starting with <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>. The complete line will probably look like <imss:minNormalizedMeasure></imss:minNormalizedMeasure>, this is the line that is supposed to contain your passing score (at least for our LMS). So, if your passing score is supposed to be 80%, edit this line to be: <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>0.80</imsss:minNormalizedMeasure> and save the file. Then select all the files and re-zip them, I use 7-zip for that.
I found one other weird thing that doesn't happen 100% of the time, so test it. In the example above, try to get a score of exactly 80% (or whatever passing grade you are using) and see if you get the correct status reported. I found I sometimes have to re-edit that line in the manifest file to be 0.79 so it correctly includes an exact 80% score. No idea why and you have to watch the number of questions in your quiz to make sure that works for you mathematically.
If this works or not, I'd recommend posting your results so others can get some ideas. Good Luck!!

How can assign a PASS/FAIL test to each element of a cluster?

I would like to pass a cluster from Labview 8.6 to TestStand 4.1.1 and apply a pass/fail test to each boolean element of the cluster. For elements of the cluster that are string values, I would like to apply a string value test. For elements of the cluster that are numeric values, I would like to apply numeric value or limit tests. How can I do this?

Hi epsilon-delta,
The best way to do this would be to create a custom data type from that cluster and store the output of your vi to a local variable. You can then add Pass/Fail Test, Numeric Limit Test and String Value Test steps (using the None adapter) after the Action step to test each element of the cluster.

Adf input file - connection to the server has failed(status=unknown)

We are using input file component to upload an excel file and read it. Sometimes we are getting error - " A Connection to the server has failed.

Any inputs will help us.

Hi,
there must be a stack trace in the log files that gives you more information about this. Chances are the browser closes the socket connection, which you can verify by using another browser and avoiding e.g. VPN connect for testing. Another test to perform is to try 11.1.1.7 and see if this works for the use case in case you sit on a known and already fixed problem

A connection to the server has failed. (status=403) error

Hi,
I have created an application with ADF security. When a user is redirected to the login.jspx page, if he clicks on any tab on the menubar(each of which are different jspx pages), it throws a pop up with the following error message-
"A connection to the server has failed. (status=403)"
Can someone please tell me where the problem lies.
Regards
Apoorva

Hi Apoorva,
When there is no welcome page defined in the application's web.xml file you can get a 403 error.
Also note that when an user has not been authenticated yet, should not have access to any secured pages, any navigation component on the welcome page that points to a secured page. So if that's the case, any component that points to secured pages should be hidden.
For further information you can take a look at the document available at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm#BABDEICH

HT201304 Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code?

Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code. Defeats the purpose if a child can get into restrictions using the same code that is used to prevent unauthorized access to the phone itself.

Of course it can, for the reason you state.

What is property that contains the pass/fail status(UUT Result) of my main sequence ?

Test Engineering
Empower RF Systems Inc.

Hi Mal,
In general, in TestStand you use a step type that can use the Sequence Adapter in order to call a sequence (named subsequence in this context). The MainSequence is called from within the ProcessModel execution entry-points ('Test UUTs' and 'Single Pass' sequences in the TestStandModel.seq) when you launch the execution from "Execute->Test UUTs" or "Execute->Single Pass" menu or directly by the engine when you start an Interactive execution by selecting "Execute->Run MainSequence" menu option.
In the first case, after the sequence call step executes, the Sequence Adapter can set the step status. So, finally the property that contains the status of Main Sequence is a subproperty of the SequenceCall step that in the ProcessModel execution entry-points is named "MainSeque
nce Callback". The lookup string for this property depends from where you want to access it. For example :
a) if it's from a step you add as part of the Execution entry-points customization, then the lookup string for the property should be "RunState.Sequence.Main["MainSequence Callback"].Result.Status"
b) if it's from a step in the MainSequence, then the lookup string for the property should be "RunState.Caller.RunState.Sequence.Main["MainSequence Callback"].Result.Status" but special consideration should be taken if the MainSequence is run in Interactive mode, since the "RunState.Caller" property doesn't exist in this case.
In the second case the sequence status isn't available (see above).

How to get sequence name and pass/fail status?

HI,
I need your assistance in order to achieve the following goal:
I have about 10 sub-sequence steps in the main sequence.
For those steps only, I'd like to print out in a window the name of the sequence and the resutl.
I meet dificulties since i have the sub-seq result, only after it ends. It means that i can print its status only in the following step.
is there a way around it?
I wish to be able to write all this information in the clean up of the sub-seq step.
Thanks
Rafi

Hi Rafi,
You will not be able to print the result of a subsequence call in the same step as the subsequence call, because both post-step substeps and post-expressions are run before the status is evaluated. As you mentioned, you can do this in the following step, or you can use the SequenceFilePostStep callback to specify some customized behavior to follow your sequence call steps. This callback will run after every step, so you would have to put some extra logic into this callback if you are using multiple step types.
So, are you trying to print the result of each subsequence call separately? How do you intend to display the status? Let me know if you have any other questions about how to implement this.

Sequence pass/fail variable for csv report

I need to write a small CSV file with my sequence test results. The way I am considering doing this is to
save the information I need as the test progresses in local, file, or station global variables
make a report string using the values stored in these variables, and
write the string to a file via a LabVIEW VI.
Is this a reasonable way to do it? In which variable does the overall UUT pass/fail result get stored?
StephenB

I recommend against doing it this way. What you want to do defeats the entire purpose of using TestStand in the first place.
If you are using a newer version of TestStand (2012 or newer) I would create a custom plugin to do exactly what you are doing.
There is a ton of information out there on plugins.
Here is an example on probably what you are trying to do:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsexamples/infotopics/modelplugin/
Here are some more links that are important:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/pmpcreatingplugins/
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/process_model_plugin_ar...
The advantage of using a plugin is that now all tests can utilize it as opposed to the report generation being specific to a single test.
Hope this helps,

Count the Pass/ Fail in a DAQ reading testing ?

I want to write the while loop to read the DAQ signal. Each time, the DAQ input signal is compared with the spec. limit. The signal that is within the limit will be recorded as " Pass " while the signal out of spec. will be recorded as " Fail ". At the end of the testing ( I break the program), the testing result will be displayed on the testing panel.
I believe my question is similar to the programming of " A=A+1 ". Can anybody help me to resolve the problem ?

Tian,
Are you looking for just the number of passed and number failed measurements or a record of each individual test. If you are only concerned with the number of passed/failed tests then use a shift register. Right-click on the border of the loop and choose Add Shift Register. Then use a case structure. If it passed the test (true case) then increment the value. If it did not pass the test (false case) then just wire the value straight through the case structure. To get the number that failed simply subtract the number that passed from the iteration count.

[LV - TS] How to execute a SEQ file, get the result (PASS/FAIL) and the report file ?

Hello,
I'm looking for the most obvious and simple way to, from Labview :
1- Start the Teststand engine : DONE
2- Get a list of SEQ files to execute : DONE
3- Loop through the list to execute each SEQ file : <- found some examples but I have some trouble with the UIMessage stuff
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsexamples/infotopics/executing_sequences_using_api_labview/

5- Get the XML path+name of the report file generated : <- obviously not easy

However it remains unclear about how to get a simple
answer from just running a sequence file out of any
model so far (Simple Pass). Like I told you, all what
I need, once the TS engine is started, is a VI with the
following interface :
INPUT
1- TS engine reference
2- SEQ file path (path or string)
3- Sequence name to execute
4- UUT string (optional, but yeah)
5- error in
OUTPUT
1- Result boolean (PASS/FAIL)
2- Path to XML report
3- error out
It would be so cool to just have this
About the surrounding UI, I'm working on it. The LV
code is not really important at this point, it's running
a SEQ file that matters to me.

Can the position and szing of a control element in a View be controlled from the ViewModel?

Is it possible to change the position of a control, say a label, as a response to some action/operation from the ViewModel? Like if one response to something is true then place the label in the top left corner. If false, place the label
in the lower right corner. I realize you could have a label in each position and just set the visibility. But can the position and sizing of said label be controlled from the View Model? What would be a sample coding of this? would
it be in the xaml or combination of a method in the ViewModel and the xaml?
Rich P

First off Rich, say TextBlock to yourself ten times.
Use a TextBlock rather than a label.
There are a bunch of different ways to do this and the easiest is to have two controls whose text is bound to the one property.
Bind the Visibility of each to another 2 properties in the viewmodel.
Collapse one and Visible the other.
The reason for that is that it's easier.
Technically, you could put one textblock in a grid and use margin to control this. You could animate x y co-ordinates and move the textblock mysteriously across the window if you put your mind to it.
Or you could put it in a row/column "cell" of a grid and change which cell it goes in - but that would involve some mechanism like messaging from the viewmodel to the view and is not really ideal if you can avoid it.
I'd have a pair of textblocks, here's one:
<TextBlock Name="TopLeftMsg"
Text="{Binding Msg}"
Visiblity="{Binding TopLeftVis}"
Both would bind to a public string property msg in the viewmodel.
They each get their own public visibility property and that'd be switched between Visibility.Visible and Visibility.Collapsed.
Sizing of textblocks is best fitted to content because all you see is the text.
Textboxes are arguably different because you can see the things.
Hope that helps.
