Edit the result (pass/fail) of a subsequence

I have a sequence that looks like this:
MainSequence
Step1
Step2
SubSequence
DoWhile (Test1 fail and time has not exceed 30 sec)
Test1
End
Step3
The DoWhile loop run Test1 over and over until either Test1 passes or time has exceed 30 seconds. Usually, Test1 actually pass. So, on the steps screen, Test1 would actually be shown as "PASS", but when the SubSequence exits, the SubSequence would be shown as "Failed". I think this is because Test1 failed a few times before passing.
How do I change it so that the SubSequence would be shown as "PASS" in the report as long as Test1 passed once?
Thanks.

[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/
4- Get the result of the SEQ execution : <- unsure
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.

How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

Hi odedn,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, you mean that you want to copy the test plan with test results from the current team project
to other team project, am I right?
If yes, as far as I know that when we copy test plan with test results to other team proejcts. It is default that
there just will not copy the test plan with test results (pass/fail) to other team project in MTM.
You can refer the following MSDN document’s
what gets cloned, it explained that which objects are copied from the source test plan to the destination test plan.

How to change the result status "Failed" after the test to "Passed"

We make a picture of a LCD screen and look if its all working. Sometimes the LCD screen is working propper but the Step Failed. In case automatic LCD test fails we show the picture from the camera to the user and he can decide if the LCD screen passed or failed. So when the user decide that the screen is working propper we should overwrite the status of the automatic test that in the report and database shows lcd screen test passed. I tried with
RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq["Check_LCD_V3-0"].Main["154 Execute - All Horizontal Segments On"].Result.Status="Passed",
RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq["Check_LCD_V3-0"].Main["154 Execute - All Horizontal Segments On"].Result.PassFail="True",
But in the database the Status of this step is still "Failed"
What i do wrong?
Thanks

I recommend the following:
1) Make the automated LCD test an Action step rather than a Pass/Fail step and instead set a local variable to whether the automatic LCD test failed (e.g. Locals.AutomatedLCDFailed).
2) Create a new Pass/Fail test (using the none adapter) that takes both the local variable and the user's input into account to determine it's pass/fail status (e.g. Set the step's data source to an expression like: !(Locals.AutomatedLCDTestFailed && Locals.UserLCDTestFailed)
As an alternative to making 1) an Action step you could leave it a pass/fail step and uncheck the step setting on it for "Step failure causes sequence failure". Then you could use the status of that step instead of Locals.AutomatedLCDTestFailed. The one difference is that the automated test will still show up as failed in your report even though the sequence can still be passed. It's somewhat a matter of preference.
Hope this helps,

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.

TestStand Lookup String for UUT Result Passed/Failed

When I am in CleanUp group,what is the lookup string for UUT Result=Passed or Failed. That is all steps in main group passed = UUT Result=Passed. I am using Labview.

Using RunState.SequenceFailed called from Cleanup step in TestStand sequence seems to work reliably for me but using RunState. ErrorReported does not. It seems as though the sequence context becomes invalid or something (although I get no error when accessing this property). It does not always come back true when a runtime error has occurred. Any ideas?
Thanks, Roger Owens [email protected]

Edit the results of custom search

Hi,
can results returned with a custom search be edited ?
i mean is there a way to do this:
user clicks the built-in edit link and edits the files in custom search results
best regards,

Hi,
Base on my understanding, on Lync Server 2013, the number of search list couldn't be limited. The msRTCSIP-SearchMaxRequest has been obsoleted.
You can also post a case on MSDN forum, there are more developing experts will help to confirm if it could be achieved by Lync Server SDK.

Reporting results: Pass/Fail AND Incomplete

Some of our students may not complete a quiz and we want to
identify them so we can contact them. For those who do complete the
quiz, we need to report Pass or Fail. It doesn't look like we can
do both of these. Is that true? The settings seem to be radio
buttons that make you choose either/or.

I'd check into what you can do with LMS software. All of the
reporting needs above should be possible with the right Learning
Management System - which can be used to "plug in" your Captivate
SWF files. Or am I missing something here?

How do i configure a FOR loop to have the behavior of the step Loop Type: Pass/Fail count?

Hello,
I'm using the Pass/Fail count set to one Pass to capture an event generated by my DUT. I originally used a numerical compare step with the Looping type of Pass/Fail count to accomplish this. Unfortunately the implementation changed and now I need to execute a few steps that can not be combined within one code module as before. Nor can these steps be put into a subroutine. One of the steps executes a .NET asembly and I haven't figured out how to pass the reference to the subroutine. When the subroutine is intered the reference is lost and the methode does not execute correctly.
I have an evaluation function the exits the loop when the expected conditions are met. Everything works except for the Overall Pass/Fail result of the For loop. If the loop exits due to the first numerical compare test passing, I want the loop overall execution to report as "Passed". If the loop reaches it's predetermined number of iterations, the overall result needs to report as "Failed". It would also be nice to have the radio button functionality of "Record Result of Each iteration". Some conditions require a wait over a minute for the event to occur and I don't want to generate needless data for the report.
Currently I get the pass/fail status for each For loop iteration, but only "Done" for each loop iteration. I don't want the initial few failures to cause the test to fail.
Does anyone know how to do this? Suggestions?
Thanks,

I have 2 steps in the loop that can not be combined into one step. This forces me to implement the behavior in some form of loop. A While Loop could be an option. I would need to pass the Step.Result.Status from the Multiple Numerical compaire step to the condition of the While Loop. I tried to use the Step.TS.ID without success. Some form of reference to the numerical compare step would be needed. I'm using a For Loop as I do want to limit the number of iterations of the loop. In the case where the loop iterations are reached, the event I am trying to detect did not occur at the correct time and a failure needs to be reported.
I came up with something based on my comments in the second post:
1) To start with I configured a Locals.ForLoop_5 variable. This is used to set the limit on the loop iterations and for comparison after the loop has finished executing. More on that later.
2) The first step inside the loop invokes a method within a .NET assembly that has been packed in a DLL This method gets the required data from the DUT and stores it to a text file.
3) The next step is the Multiple Numeric Limit step. This step invokes a VI that extracts the data from the text file. This step has been customized in several ways.
i) In Run Options, the Results Recording Option was disabled. This prevents recording of "Failed" while the loop executes when waiting for the event to happen.
ii) In Run Options, the Step Failure Causes Sequence Failure is unchecked. Same reasoning as i) These steps are not true failures.
iii) A Post Action is configured to go to the nexxt step after the For Loop End step On Condition True with the logic of Step.Result.Status == "Passed". This causes the loop to exit when the first "Passed" is encountered which corrolates with the event I'm trying to detect. On Conditon Fail remains set to default.
4) The step after the For Loop End is an expression step with everythin set to default except for the Status Expression logic set to: Locals.Loopindex < Locals.ForLoop_5 ? (Step.Result.Status = "Passed") : (Step.Result.Status = "Failed"). This step performs the overall Pass/Fail reporting for the For Loop. If the number of loop iterations is less than the maximum it could have only gotten there by the previous logic triggered by the numerical compare passing, therefore "Passed". If the loop index has reached the limit, then the event was not detected, therefore Failed.
I have tested this work around with success, it just a pain to now have to implement this on my 40 some odd For Loops.
If there is a better way, I'd still like to hear it.

Judge testing result pass or fail

I use teststand to call dll(writen by CVI),my question is I get a result from instrument by dll ,how judge the result pass or fail by teststand,the limits is defined by user .
thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Sean,
I think I may be confused by your question so can you answer the following-
When you say "judge" do you mean that you want the step to determine if the result lies within the limits defined by the user? Is the result numeric? String? Boolean? How is the user inputting the limits?
Most of the time people use the Numeric Limit Test step to determine limits on measurements. This determination is accomplished by the Status Expression of the step combined with the limits set for that step. How that is setup defines whether the step passes or fails. If you let me know how the user is inputting the limits I can help you dynamically set the limits. Which is most likely what you'll have to do.

Updating the result from Labveiw to Test stand!

Hello, I
have a quick question; i am using Labview 8.5 & Test Stand. I am
develeoping Test Scripts using Labview for the design & using them in
Teststand as PASS/FAIL tests. My question is when i run the tests in teststand
its showing that the tests what i have written in labview has been passed but
when i remove the connection to UUT & run the same its showing that tests
are passed. Actually at this time it should show that the tests are failed
since the connection to UUT is not present. But on the lab view window its showing
the proper result(that the is failed due to to bad connection) but on the test
stand window side its showing erroneous results i.e. tests are passed(i.e. the
result is not being updated from lab view to test stand window). What should I do to
update the result from lab veiw to testand . I have this problem from couple of
days.
Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi basha,
Looking at your Sequence File and the Pass / Fail Step in MainSequence.
Although you have three connections on your VI FT_Open_Device_By_Sreial_Number.vi (one input, two outputs),
within your step, you haven't connected them to any TestStand variables.
I have attached the FileGlobals.Handle to the Handle output of your VI as an example.
You need to do something similar for Device Serial Number and FT_Status.
I am not sure where this top level vi comes in, are you hoping to replace FT_Open_Device_By_Sreial_Number.vi with this top level vi.
If you are then you need to connect on input and output to its connector pane. I would suggest the boolean result is one of the ouptut
Which you connect to Step.Result.Pass/Fail
Regards
Ray

Sending a return value without pass/fail message

Hi,
I'm using the COM adapter to talk TestComplete application.
I have a string value test step to evaluate a return value and determine if it's pass or fail (e.g. return 0 = pass, return 1 = fail). This works perfectly.
However, I have added another return value (e.g. return 2), the code executed fine, but it keeps displaying that step as "Failed", which is annoying. Is there a way to suppress this failed message?
Basically, here's what I need to do, return 0= display pass, return 1 = display fail, return 2 = display no message or just display done.
Thanks so much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The String Value Test step type only evaluates to Passed or Failed. It does not do a tristate. In fact any of the step types in the Tests (Pass/Fail Test, Numeric Limit Test, Multiple Numeric Limit Test, String Value Test) will always be pass or fail. They never evaluate to just done.
The Status Expression is what makes a step Pass or Fail. Unfortunately with the default steps you cannot change the Status Expression. You have to create a custom step type to do that.
What are you setting your Step.Result.String to? Or did you change the Data Source?
Here are 3 options:
1- Create a custom step based on the String Value Limit test and change the Status Expression such that you get your desired behavior
2- Use and Action step and change the Status Expression such that you get your desired behavior.
3- Continue using the step you are using but in the Post-Expression place some logic which turns off the Step.StepFailCausesSequenceFail if you are in return 2 state

Get overall Pass/Fail from custom User Interface

Hi Guys
I’m working on a custom user interface for operators and I would like to check and display the overall Pass/Fail result of the test at certain time intervals during execution.
I added a sequence called ‘GetOverallResult’ to the ‘FrontEndCallbacks.seq’ which checks the Pass/Fail status of the sequence and I’m calling it form a SubVI within the User Interface written in LabVIEW (Check status.vi).
The problem is that I’m getting the Pass/Fail status of the CallBack sequence not the test sequence I’m running.
Could anyone please help me in this?

Hi Attila,
Have you instead tried reading the value directly from the main sequence? Have a look at the attached VI; pass the sequence context in and the Get Property Value VI will read the sequence's state.
Is this suitable for what you had in mind?

Dynamically specify TestStand pass/fail string

I am performing tests utilizing multiple instruments. Each instrumemt may independently be in 'live' or 'simulated' mode. If any one instrument is in 'sim' mode, the test is considered in 'sim' mode. When in 'sim' mode the tests pass.
My goal is to be able to look at the test report and determine if a specific test ran in 'sim' mode or live mode. My solution is to append the suffix '-sim' to the test status produced by TestStand. Thus the 'passed', 'failed' strings would become 'passed-sim', 'failed-sim' in 'sim' mode. These strings would have to be given to TestStand at the same time as the measurement value but before the test exited.
Any thoughts or ideas on how I might accomplish the dynamic setting of the pass/fail string? I don't want this to be a permanent change, I want TestStand to revert back to the original pass/fail strings for the next sequential step.
Hurst C.

Hi Believer,
What you seem to be trying to do is modify the results or a property of the results from the previous step. But unfortunately modify this property will only be affective if you were to re-run that step again eg step back one step. What you need to be modifying is the property that is in the Locals.ResultList. i.e Locals.ResultList[0].ReportText for the first step to be recorded in the sequence, Locals.ResultList[nth].ReportText for the nth step in the sequence to be recorded.
By modifying 'RunState.Sequence.Main["Clock test (4.0V)"].Result.ReportText="FLAG"' you are actually modifying the runtime version of the step before its executed. Therefore, providing you do not over write the contents of ReportText within you step, this initial value will be seen in the result.
You can check this by stepping into you step and checking the value of ReportText within the step.
Hope this clarifies things
