Execution of Coded UI scripts with least possible test execution time in Windows7 Operating system using Visual Studio Test Agent 2010 without VS2010 installed

Hi All,
We are trying to execute coded UI scripts without Visual Studio installed. We are using “Visual Studio Test Agent 2010” for executing coded UI scripts without VS2010 in Windows 7, it is working fine. Also we verified executing the same script with VS2010
Premium, it works fine as well.
Here the challenge we are facing is with the Test execution time.
When we run the coded UI script with IE11-Windows 7 OS-Visual Studio 2010 Premium it takes
3min 36sec to complete the execution whereas with IE11-Windows 7 OS-Visual Studio Test Agent 2010  it takes
6min 40sec for the same script to execute (which is almost double the time it takes while executing using VS2010).
My question is what may be the reason for this difference? and how we can reduce the test execution time when running from Test Agent 2010?
Kindly let us know what is the best practice to execute the coded UI scripts with least test execution time in Windows 7 Operating system using Visual Studio Test Agent 2010 without VS2010
installed.
Looking forward for your positive response.
Thanks in advance..!!

Tina-Shi, Thanks for the information.
As you mentioned, we tried to execute the coded UI test using Mstest.exe in command on VS2010 Premium and checked on the execution
time, there was a slight difference.
Please find below execution time.
Using Mstest.exe in command on VS2010 Premium/Win7 – 3.47 minutes
Using VS2010 Premium/Win7 – 3.53 minutes
Using Test Agent/Win7 – 7.3 minutes
Also, I closed all the other processes in Task manager before starting up the execution.
Still , I am facing the same Issue. Could you please suggest any other way to reduce the scripting time of coded UI script execution
through Test agent 2010.
Looking forward for your earliest response.

  • I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on my PowerMac, and cannot retrieve email.  Does this have to do with iCloud?  I also cannot upgrade my operating system as my computer won't accept it.  Any information about this for me? Thank you!

    I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on my PowerMac, and cannot retrieve email.  Does this have to do with iCloud?  I also cannot upgrade my operating system as my computer won't accept it.  Any information about this for me? Thank you!

    Hi Steve,
    If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

    Thanks in advance.

    1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
    2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

  • Using Visual Studio as an HTML editor with SharePoint's Design Manager

    I'm building a master page using Design Manager. I've mapped a network drive so that I can access the MasterPage.html file with an HTML editor.
    I'd like to use Visual Studio 2012 as my HTML editor.  But, when I modify MasterPage.html in VS, it creates a MasterPage.html~RF9158aed.TMP file alongside the MasterPage.html and MasterPage.master files, which breaks the master page in SharePoint.
    I can modify MasterPage.html successfully with NotePad.  I can also modify an html file, that is not associated with a folder in SharePoint via a networked drive, with VS.
    Can I use Visual Studio as an HTML editor in this scenario?  If so, what am I doing wrong?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    The TMP file is used by VS to save off changes in the file your working on, so you can perform Undos for instance.  If you shut down VS it should clean those up for you.  However, this can be a challenge if you're still working on the file.
    I would just make a copy of the MasterPage and place it in a folder outside the mapped folder.  Then you can simply copy and paste it back into the mapped folder.
    FYI, don't do this with any OOTB MasterPages!  Please make a copy and rename one that comes with SP, you don't want to change those in case you need to revert back.
    Good luck!

  • How open a report with Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio and Java

    Hi,
    There is a way to open a report (with parameters) save in a web server with Crystal Report Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio or Java ?
    I've an asp page and i want to open this report using some command (I know asp, vbscript and html)
    In the past it was very easy because we use CR 9, but now it's already many days im looking for a solution but seem impossible.
    I know the craxdrt.dll is not included with Crystal Reports 2008.
    It seem me i can use OpenDocument, but i'm not sure. Someone has some easy example to help me ?
    Remember i have only Crystal report viewer 2008 on the server and on the clients.
    Thanks in advance

    If you are looking to create a web application or view report through a web server using only Crystal Reports then you do have to either use Java, or .NET.
    If you have Crystal Reports server or Business Objects Enterprise you can use OpenDocument to view managed reports but this does require one of our server products.

  • Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

    Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

    That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
    To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
    If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

  • I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I'm able to use Visual Studios 2012

    I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I’m able to use Visual Studios 2012 & 2013; however, when I try to install SQL Server is says I don’t have a valid installation folder.  So I guess my question is, can you install SQL Server to a MAC?
    Thanks!

  • Problem with "View project-level information" permission when accessing build definition in Visual Studio Online

    Hi, 
    from some time all our team members are experiancing problems when acsessing list of builds on Visual Studio Online or when trying to edit build definition in Visual Studio. Error message suggests problem with missing View project-level information permission:
    "TF50309: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation: XXXXXXXX. The following permissions are needed to perform this operation: View project-level information."
    I've checked permissions of my User account and Group. "View project-level information" is set to Allow on both levels. We didn't make any changes in security configuration recently. Does anyone faced similar problem?
    Short term solution was to add all users, to Project Collection Administrators Group, but it is not what we would like to live with.

    It seems that the problem was fixed and Project Collection Administrators permissions are no longer required. Great :-)

  • Is it possible to use Firefox to debug javascript files when running a web application using visual studio 2010

    I am trying to debug a ASP.Net web application within visual studio 2010 using Firefox. I am able to set breakpoints in my C# code and they work but if I set a breakpoint in a javascript file then these do not work when using Firefox. Is there any way to do this?

    Of course you can. I use the VS2010 built-in Javascript debug tool a lot, not only for IE, but also for firefox.
    I encountered the "break point not working" issue several times, according to my experience, following is the solution to this problem, give them a shot:
    1. There maybe errors in your javascript code, have a close look at your code, try to find the errors or eliminate this possibility.
    2. Sometimes you have to refresh the page once after the page is loaded the first time. This solves the problem most of the time.

    That's surprising & disappointing.  I would have thought that this capability would have long since been requested.
