Help:set up simple test sequence, operator selects particular test then teststand links to part of sequence file and performs test

Hi,
I am extremely new to TestStand, please see question below and offer advice.
I want to set up a simple test sequence.
I want a message to popup on screen that asks the operator which unit of 6(max 10) Units to test(i.e. there are say 6-10 box's to select from).
Then the sequence goes to the particular part of the sequence and performs the test on which ever unit was selected.
What is the best way to do this?
Could i use message popups to do this?and if so what do i need to do link it to the correct part of the sequence file?
Do message popups only allow 6 options to select from?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
   You can do using message popup method. You can ask the user which unit want to execute by inserting message in message expression in message popup step settings.Something like below
"Enter unit number to execute
1. Unit1
2. Unit 2
10. Unit 10"
then check "Enable response text box" from options tab in step settings.When user enters unit number you can get the user entered value by inserting the below statement in post expression of message popup step settings
    Locals.String = Step.Result.Response
    Note : String is a local variable to be defined.
Convert that string in to number and send that output to switch expression there by you can use a sequence call step to call sequence whichever to be executed. (I hope your each unit will be seperate sequence file)
I hope these resolves your problem. If you don't understand let me know so that I can develop a small example and send it to.

Lync Stress and performance test - DTMF

Hi all,
I found the below parameters in the CAA xml file generated by the LSS tool.
      <ConfIdEntryDelayInSec>15</ConfIdEntryDelayInSec>
      <PlayParticipantName>true</PlayParticipantName>
      <ParticipantNamePlayDurationInSec>45</ParticipantNamePlayDurationInSec>
      <ParticipantNameAudioFileName>Audio.wma</ParticipantNameAudioFileName>
      <DtmfEntryPercentage>0</DtmfEntryPercentage>
      <DtmfEntryIntervalInSeconds>600</DtmfEntryIntervalInSeconds>
      <Dtmfs>*1,*6</Dtmfs>
      <DtmfHardMutePercentage>0</DtmfHardMutePercentage>
      <DtmfHardMuteDelayInSeconds>300</DtmfHardMuteDelayInSeconds>
      <DtmfUnHardMuteDelayInSeconds>300</DtmfUnHardMuteDelayInSeconds>
      <DtmfAdmitAllPercentage>0</DtmfAdmitAllPercentage>
      <DtmfAdmitAllDelayInSeconds>300</DtmfAdmitAllDelayInSeconds>
Based on the DTMF parameters, am i correct in saying that generic DTMF inputs can be stress tested, but there isn't an option to enter conference ID's of manually created conferences via the tool ?
Thanks

Functional and performance testing on Forms 6.0 and higher

I want to make functional tests on GUI Oracle Forms ver. 6.0 and higher.
I'm thinking in a IBM tool called Rational Robot but it's seems not very good. HP also has this type of tool with forms support but I haven't tested it, yet.
Does Oracle have some tool like this ?
Thanks !

Hi..
Following is the information that you need to know about how rules are used in Financial
Management. You use rules to automate the calculations of data within an application. You can
use rules for these purposes:
● Calculate data entry level amounts for a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Prevent data entry for a specific cell in a specific entity, scenario, and period.
● Allow input at the Parent entity level.
● Calculate data that cannot be calculated through a hierarchical aggregation, such as ratios
or variance analysis.
● Perform allocations from a parent entity to a list of base entities.
● Perform complex currency conversions, calculate exchange rate differences, or perform
other calculations necessary for your consolidation.
● Define formulas to dynamically calculate accounts.
● Specify the accounts in the application that support intercompany transactions.
You can write rules in a text editor, or you can use the Financial Management Rules Editor to
create rules.
For more information on rules pls refer hfm_admin.pdf

Generic extraction loading and performances issues

hi,
any one can give the details about the generic extraction loading as well as performance issues.
advance thanks
regards
praveen

Hi,
when there is no suitable business content datasource we go for creating generic data source.
by using generic data source we can extract data present in single or multiple tables.
If the data is present in the single table we go for generic data source extracting from table.
If the data that is to be extracted is present in multiple tables and the relation between the tables is one to one and if there is a common field in both the tables we create a view on these tables and create a generic data source extracting from view.
if you want to extract data from different tables and there is no common field we create a info set on these tables and create a generic datasource extracting from query.
if you want to extarc the data from different tables and the relation is one to many or many to many we create a generic data source from function module.
If we extarct from function module ,at run time it has to execute the code and brings the data to BW.so it degrades the loading performance.

Load and stress testing a Java application

I have an application I've built that has load balancing built into it. I'm looking for a tool that I can use to simulate load against the application to watch the load balancing as it works. I downloaded WAPT, which is a really nice tool, but what it does is grab the HTTP requests made during the recording of browser actions. So, when I run it during the recording, the request gets sent to a specific server, as it should. The problem is that server is now statically defined in the script and when the script is run, ALL requests go directly to that machine instead of being load balanced.
Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions on a tool I can use to simulate mouse clicks, instead of simply simulating HTTP requests?

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) is how you do it
Hope that helps

OIM Functionality and Performance Testing

Hello there,
Can anybody provide some input related to OIM testing - any experience testing any functionality? The testing depends on the functionality provided by OIM so I purposely want the scope of this question to be broad and want to have an idea of it. The purpose is to reduce human intervention and generate some kinds of script of use some kind of automated tool to test the functionality.
For eg: Testing tools related to may be GTC reconciliation, user provisioning, etc.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
- oidm.

Hi oidm
May be this is not the answer for your question but in my experience so far (very less :) ) I saw guys doing manual testing for IDM projects whether it is of SIM or OIM.
But I heard about asqard. It is a testing tool for IDM projects but I am not very sure whether it is only Novell IDM specific or we can use it with OIM as well.

Load & Performance Testing In The Cloud - Silverlight Support

I currently have Visual Studio Premium with MSDN. I know in order to use Load Testing in the cloud I will have to upgrade to Ultimate.
One of the our web apps that I need to do a load and performance test on uses SilverLight.
Here is my questions. I want to verify that the provisioned virtual machines in the cloud when I run load testing will support Silverlight. I know it sounds like a silly question but before I go to Management to approve this upgrade I need to verify it will
work. No need to waste money.
Thanks

Hi rgelston iso.com,
The web tests: Web tests are used to test the functionality of Web applications and to test Web applications under load. Web tests are used both in performance tests and stress tests. It works at the protocol layer by issuing HTTP requests.
Reference：
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff520100%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
So the real issue is that whether your apps meet the above requirements.
For example, for the general Silverlight Apps, it would have some limitations if you want to create web performance tests.

GT70 2PC – Software testing and performance report.

It is so excited here again. Currently, my first/only object after work is playing Titanfall.
I intended to share another performance testing today. But I didn’t. I found there are too many great open box posts on different forums. Therefore, I decide to dig the MSI software compatibility and do a touring. What can I say? I’m Mr.Curiosity who really desires to know every built-in application in system. That is why I share this article with you, my friends. I would like to discuss with everybody who is interested in MSI software. Of course, I have some performance reports for you, too. Please also remind me if you find any typo/wrong in this post. Thanks in advance.
1. MSI Boot Configure
This is the first software which pops up immediately. It is thoughtful design because we can choose enter the [Windows 8.1 metro] or [desktop] by ourselves now. I give it two thumbs up!!!
Select your favorite boot configuration and press [OK]. If we want it work immdiately, we can logout the system and re-login again.
2.   MSI Remind Manager
Honestly, I didn’t know what it is in the beginning. The cute robot shows every time when I login the system. I found this is a reminder for product registration. Good, I would like to have best MSI support and warranty for my lovely GT70 2PC. But don’t worry, if you don’t want to get this message again, you just need to select the right option and close it.
3.   Synaptics TouchPad
This is a driver for mouse. [Mouse property] will show if we do the double clicks on TouchPad icon in tray. You can choose enable/disable internal pointing device when external pointing device is attached. This is brilliant. A tough guy (like me…HA! HA!) didn’t like to play game with touchpad. Because the character in game will be weak and slow if I control it by touchpad. Of course, I need the external mouse all the time and don’t want the interference from touchpad.
4.   System Control Manager (SCM)
We can enable/disable the WLAN/BT/camera devices by SCM. Besides, it can control the display brightness, volume, screen on/off and ECO. ECO is special mode for gaming watching movie.
5.   Sound Blaster CINEMA
Sound Blaster CINEMA is come from an old school audio company – CREATIVE. The software can adjust the surround sound easily. We also can adjust 5.1/7.1 surround sound for the internal speakers and external headphone. That is great, isn’t it?
Besides, we can also adjust CRYSTALIZER/BASS/SMART VOLUME/digital output by ourselves.
6.   Killer Network Manager
This is a major feature of MSI NB.
In Killer Network Manager, we can set the network priority for each of applications and we also can abandon the connection from malicious software.
[Performance] shows current status of network. We can find out which application occupied the most greedy resources by it.
[Network -> Test Network Speed] will detect the network environment automatically. Furthermore, it will adjust the priority for applications.
[Killer Ethernet] show the LAN connection info.
[Killer Wireless] show the router info.
7.   SteelSeries Engine
This is another major feature of MSI NB
If we do the right click on icon in tray, the menu will show following list. We can select [Launch SteelSeries Firmware Update Tool], [Updates]…and so on.
If we select the [Settings]. It can help us change default language and set application auto running when system power on.
I.   Buttons
Double click to open the SteelSeries Engine. I think it can set 4 different keyboard settings for each of profiles. And it can switch by FN+1~4.
[Keypress Marc] can record what you input. And [Record Delays ] can modify the delay time. HA! No game can block us anymore. Please remember to press the [SAVE] for your setting
[Launch Application] can launch any application immediately. I suggest to set the cold key for this function.
Here is example. I use [PgUp] to quick start the 3D Mark11. See, it will pop up when I pressed [PgUp].
It is simple to use [TextMarco] set our own phrase. Now I become a quick speaker in my team. One key, only one key can help me to type a lot of words.
Are you tired to press some keys that you never want to touch in game (Like WIN KEY)? It is not the problem now. [Disable Key] will do the favor and disable any key which you hate.
II.   [Colors] can change the color of backlight keyboard. Also, you can set different modes (Gaming/Audio…etc) on it.
We can change the color zone. There is not only 4 or 5 colors. The engine provides thousands of colors for us. [Audio mode] is the coolest. It will change colors by itself when we play music by speakers. I like to dance with my keyboard.
III.   We can select different languages by [Settings].
IV.   [Properties] can save our hard works of settings reliably.
V.   If you want to defeat your competitors, it is important to know your enemy. However, It is more important to know yourself. [Statistics] can help us observe which keys are most popular by our fingers.
Right click on [Profile]. It can modify/export/import/delete the profiles.
Mouse can use the same kind of settings as keyboard.
DPI setting for mouse.
Save files.
We can record the mouse, too.
8.   Norton
Norton Internet Security: Anti-Virus software, MSI provides 60 days for free.
Norton Online Backup: Online data backup software, MSI provides 30 days for free.
Norton Anti-Theft: Anti-Theft software, MSI provides 30 days for free.
If you like Norton’s products, you can buy it online.
If you don’t, I believe we can uninstall it directly.
So, the decision is ours.
Introduction from Norton official website
9.   Dragon Gaming Center
I.   System Monitor:
It can monitor CPU/GPU loading and temperature. We also can find the network speed and fan speed in it.
II.   Utility:
You can set your favorite apps in [Add new Utility].
E.g. I added a [MSI Afterburner]. Click [Open] to build the link. Do you feel familiar with something? Exactly, [Launch Application] of [SteelSeries Engine] can do this, too.
III.   Instant Play:
We can define [Fn+F4] to enable the quick start. But there is more secret.
We can also use [Browse] to assign the game which we want.
Click the icon of game and [Fn+F4] will be ready. We can only use 1 program at once.
I usually change the brightness, volume and mouse sensitive before the game. As you know, every games are different. It is sweet because we can use [Apply Setting] to do this.
I can’t believe it. We also can find the clock feature in it. How convenient it is!
IV.   Hybrid Power is another MSI feature.
It can provide the power by AC adapter and battery in the same time. We can monitor the status in here.
10. BurnRecovery
It can create the recovery CD/DVD/USB for MSI NB.
Here can select Recovery disc/USB/ISO.
I will make a ISO file first.
We can select where to put the ISO.
Creating the recovery file...
Finish!
Open the folder and we can find 4 ISO files in it.
Well…[BurnRecovery Help] provide the details spec.
In my opinion, everyone should create their own recovery image. You will need it in one day.
11. Battery Calibration
This is software for battery calibration. In order to keep our battery good, we should do the calibration every three months. Don’t forget to plug-in the AC adapter and battery during the process..
Press [Start] to begin the process. It will make the battery fully charged first.
Then, it will empty the battery like this.
System will shut down after the empty process. At last, fully charged again. It will take 4~5 hrs to complete the process.
12. MSI Dragoon Army /MSI Facebook /Web site /YouTube
Those are MSI forums/Facebook/official website/YouTube and links.
[MSI Dragoon Army] is the official forum for MSI. We can find NB, MB and AIO info in it.
Facebook Quick Link for many countries of world.
MSI official website
YouTube channel of MSI.
13. Super-Charger
There is no message when I click this app at the first time. But when I attached my IPAD, it pops up the [Super-Charger]. It is amazing because IPAD can’t be charge by this USB port. As far as I know, the USB 3.0 only provides maximum 900mA for its device. IPAD will need 2.1A for charge process. I have no idea how MSI NB make IPAD charging okay.
14. XSplit GameCaster
This is one of important features. I saw many different first class gaming machines this year. All of them have the broadcast software. (Like PS4, Xbos ONE)
It can switch the default language after we login.
Twitch/YouTube / Facebook/ Twitter/Google+ can be used by [Accounts]. It is easy to start the live show.
We can modify the resolution and use twitch by [Setting]
We can configure FPS/CPU loading/where to show on display by [Status label].
Hotkey configuration.
Videos storage.
Press [Ctrl+Tab] to call Gamecaster in game. And we can twitch or modify setting. I will provide my gaming video for you later.
15. Power DVD
This is a famous video player. Also, it can support BD format.
We can use the [Setting] to change our language.
We can change 5 times for default country .
It is glad that I’ve finished the introduction of GT70 software.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:
http://www.neotys.com/
Thanks in advance for your response.
Mathew Butler
Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

FORMS CRASHES (FRM-92101) ON AS 10.1.2.0.2 DURING LOAD PERFORMANCE TESTING

Hiya
We have been doing Load Performance Testing using testing tool QALoad on our Forms 10g application. After about 56 virtual users(sessions) have logged-in into our application, if a new user tries to log-in into our application, the Forms crashes. As soon as we encounter the FRM-92101 error, no more new forms session are able to start.
The Load Testing software start up each process very quickly, about every 10 seconds.
The very first form that appears is the login form of our application. So before the login screen appears, we get FRM-92101 error message.
However, those users who have already logged-in into our application, they are able to carry on their tasks.
We are using Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2. I have checked the status on Application Server through Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. The OC4J Instance is up and running. Also, server's configuration is pretty good. It is running on 2 CPUs (AMD Opteron 3GHz) and has 32GB of memory. The memory used by those 56 sessions is less than 3GB.
The Applicatin Server is running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64bit Enterprise Edition.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Shekhawat
In Windows Registry go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
In the right hand side panel, you will find String Value as Windows. Now double click on it (Windows). In the pop up window you will see a string similar to the following one:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,768 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
Now if you read it carefully in the above string, you will find this parameter
SharedSection=1024,20480,768
Here SharedSection specifies the system and desktop heaps using the following format:
SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzzz
The default values are 1024,3072,512
All the values are in Kilobytes (KB)
xxxx = System-wide Heapsize. There is no need to modify this value.
yyyy = IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the IO Desktop.
zzzz = Non-IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the Non-IO Desktop.
On our server the values were as follows :
1024,20480,768
We changed the size of Non-IO desktop heapsize from 768 to 5112. With 5112 KB we managed to test our application for upto 495 virtual users.
Cheers

Load & Performance testing of VB applications

How we can perform load & performance testing of VB6 applications? Are there any tools available for same?

You could look at something like this:
http://www.aholme.co.uk/Profiler/Install.htm
However VB6 as a development environment is no longer supported by Microsoft and this forum is not for VB6 questions, but VB.NET questions.
