Microsoft application center test could not display test status

Generated assets, such as screenshots and device logs, are kept for test reports. App Center Test maintains a six-month data retention policy for test report data. All test reports older than six months are removed.

Before getting started, it's recommended to become familiar with Test's Core Concepts. Skip to main content. The System. Web namespace contains the HttpUtility class that I will use to convert special characters into escape sequences.

Because a default Console Application does not reference System. Text namespace has an Encoding class that I'll use to perform byte array manipulation. NET Web application. I use the System. Note that the using directive permits the use of types in a namespace such that you do not have to qualify the use of a type in that namespace. Next, after displaying a brief start message to the command shell, I declare the key variables that the test automation uses:.

The purpose of most of these variables should be clear from their names but the viewstate variable may be new to you, so I will explain it shortly. Now, I open the test case file specified on the command line and read it line by line:. There are many alternative ways to design the automation, but this simple structure has proven to be robust on several large projects.

The next step is to parse each field of the test case data and build up a data string containing name-value pairs:. I use the String. Split method to break up the test case line and store each field in the tokens array. The test case ID is stored in tokens[0], the user last name is stored in tokens[1], the widget quantity is stored in tokens[2], and the credit card number is stored in tokens[3]. For clarity, I could have created additional string variables with descriptive names like "caseID" and "lastName" and then copied values from the tokens array into them like so:.

But I wanted to keep the number of variables I used to a minimum. However, ASP. NET extends this idea. In this example, there are five name-value pairs. It assigns the current test case last name value stored in tokens[1] to the control with id attribute "TextBox1". Because Button1 is a server-side control I must post it to keep the ViewState value synchronized, as I'll explain in a moment.

I like to use a value such as "clicked" anyway because it makes the code more readable. NET servers. What is this ViewState value? NET works behind the scenes to create a stateful environment. One of the ways ASP. It is a Baseencoded string value that represents the state of the page when last processed by the server. In this way, pages can maintain state by retaining values between successive calls.

To correctly post information to an ASP. Recall that I set the value of viewstate as:. Where did this value come from? The easiest way to get the initial ViewState value for a Web application is to just launch Microsoft Internet Explorer, get the page, and do a View Source from the menu bar. It is important that you get the initial ViewState value because if you reload the page, the ViewState value will change and your programmatic post program will generate a server error.

The raw ViewState value needs processing from the UrlEncode method. Next I must convert this string into a byte array because the method that will later post the data requires the data to be stored as bytes:.

Add any fields you want to use for your test case chart from the tests page with Column options. Then the fields will appear as choices in the drop-down lists for grouping for your test case charts. Then add a test case chart. Based on the chart, configure the fields that you want to use to group by, for rows and columns, or the range trend charts only.

Now it will be displayed in the charts page for the test plan or test suite that you selected. Select the Execute tab in a test suite and then select a test case.

Select More options or right-click to open the context menu. Select View test result. Create a stacked area trend chart to view the burn down for how many test cases are ready to be run. Select State for the stack by field and Ascending for the sort field. Use a stacked area trend chart to view the burn down for how many test cases have been automated.

Select Automation status for the Stack by field and Ascending for the Sort field. If multiple teams own test cases in your test plan, you can see how many test cases each team owns and the priorities of the tests.

If your teams are organized by area path, use a test case pie chart. Select Area path for Group by.

If you want to know the priorities of these tests, create a stacked bar chart. Select Area path for the Y-axis and Priority for Group by. You can track test creation status for team members by creating a chart that includes the Assigned to value. Use a stacked bar chart or a pivot table chart. Select Assigned to for Y-axis or Rows. Select State for Group by or Columns. This app can Access your Internet connection. Permissions info.
