As our team has grown, we have seen Test Studio record elements that already exists but with different naming conventions and under different pages.

Although I understand that much of the element class (pages.cs) is dynamically produced, I think it would benefit the end user to be able to drag/drop organizing the elements much like you can in other solutions.  This would help the end user have a better organized and less chance for duplication/mess of elements.

The problem we're currently having is being able to leverage Test Studio in the same capacity of distributed testing through Azure DevOps which our IT organization uses for Continuous Integration.

Although the AOR-CLI does provide some benefits, it significantly is missing distributed testing which creates a large bottleneck in the turn-around times of our tests.

A potential way to solve this, as I've seen other testing platforms, is create a Test Studio Add-on for Azure DevOps in which you can handle calling your tests in the same fashion that you can from the Test Studio platform

Currently the exported result contains extended details only for the failed steps. If there is a warning for a step - like the warning that the element was found only by image, this can be only seen in the Test Studio result file. 

Extending the HTML exported result to show the step warning details will be very useful for anyone who review this type of result (attached in an email after a scheduled run, for example). 

Update the predefined device config settings with the latest available common iOS and Android devices. Check if the User-Agent request header needs to be updated as well, or more options to be provided. 

We have a large PDF (60+ pages) and try to verify certain content on specific pages. During the recording process some elements are captured with TagName and TextContent and others with TagIndex. In this scenario TagIndex is not reliably, because the document is large and the elements change dynamicaly.

One solution is to update the element's find logic manually on all elements that use TagIndex, but this is very time consuming. 

Another option is to use coded step to find the target element by TextContent and verify it.

When the Scheduling server is not added during installation, the Configure button in Test Studio will be greyed out (disabled). It will be helpful to add some kind of tool tip or note about this.

The solution is to modify the existing installation of Test Studio and add the Scheduling Server feature to the installation.

Allow users to add custom arguments when executing tests against any of the supported browsers.

This includes the Chrome Headless execution, which always defaults to en-EN language argument for example and you can't change it.

When generating videos for the test runs from a test list, the output video files uses the name of the test only. There is no indication which is the test list from which this test was executed and when having multiple runs and videos it is difficult to relate these with the generated results. 

It will be useful to generate the names of the videos from a test list in a way to correspond to the test list name and particular run. 

We need to be able to verify the text in dialogs in different browsers.

The current solution is in code, but is not stable due to browser structure changes -> https://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/advanced-topics/coded-samples/html/verify-dialog-text-chrome

 

It will be helpful to have an element, which is defined based on another element. This is similar to chained find expression, but instead of defining the parent element with its find expression, add the ability to reference an already recorded element in the project as a parent one. Then add find expression for the child element.

The Test Studio 2021 R1 SP1 contains changes related to the latest version of Kendo UI for Angular.

 As a result it seems that the translators for Kendo Angular Input and TextBox components are, currently, not backwards compatible with the previous versions of these controls. 

It will be great to fix these so that the latest Test Studio can be used for testing web pages built with previous versions of Kendo Angular controls.

A specific coded steps test cause Chrome to be closed when trying to perform a partial run using Run->To Here. 

The coded step before the navigate one is starting a proxy to log the traffic.

Sample project is provided internally.

Http requests' responses with content-encoding type 'br' cannot be decoded in Test Studio load testing. This results in the inability of using these responses to generate dynamic targets to cover the proper load test run. 

Workaround: Modify the traffic for a load user profile by removing the 'br' encoding type. A third party Chrome extension can be used for this modification. 

When mapping a predefined element, you have the option to add new find clauses. Currently these can be added on the level of the element. It will be useful if you can add clauses for a nested element and create chained find expression. 

Test Config Scenario (sample proj attached):

Test A (Maintest) calls Test B 

Test B (filled with local Data) calls Test C

Test C (inheritParentData, should get it's data from Test A) calls Test D

Test D (inheritParentData, should get it's data from Test A as well) 

Expected: Upon execution Test B executes all its iterations correctly for each iteration of Test A. 

Actual: Test B executes all its iterations, but uses only the first row value for each of the iterations.

Note: If Test C is excluded from the test execution, all iterations from test B are performed correctly. 

If Test C and Test D are using their own data instead of inheriting the parent source, the execution is as well as expected.

When one need to reconfigure a very high volume of Custom Dynamic Targets regularly in different user profiles, the GUI approach is very slow and inconvenient. 

Would it be possible to implement a feature wherein a file can be uploaded to a User Profile in order to automatically configure Custom Dynamic Targets that are used frequently? Or somehow transfer the desired set of targets from one profile to another test or profile? 

Add the option to add new steps (requests) to an existing load user profile. 

Currently the only option to add even one request in the user profile is to recapture the overall scenario in a new user profile. Then, all custom dynamic targets needs to be created again. 

Please, add a custom goal to help in analyzing load test result data by User Profile. The requirement is to find the "Average time for completion" of each executed user profile. 

P.S. Running performance tests while the application server is loaded is not a sufficient metric for the scenario. 

Implement the option of passing multiple custom dynamic targets to the same Post Data array.

Currently, this is not a supported scenario in Test Studio - the array is a JSON array, and using the solution to copy the entire array into the Destination Field Name and using the prefix{value}suffix method, will allow to alter one of the values, but not both.

 

I would like to request a change in the find/replace text feature when editing code:

 

1. Make the find/replace text dialog respond to Ctrl-H with the Replace feature automatically selected.  This behaviour falls in like with a number of other Microsoft products (e.g. Word, Excel, Power Point, Notepad, Visual Studio, etc...) and is what a large number of Windows users come to expect.
2. Make the find text signify when it has reached the end of the search range (e.g. current document) and ask if the user wishes to start searching from the beginning.  Again, this is how Microsoft products behave and is in line with Windows user experiences.

Thank you.
