Need a “stop all test runs” option >Test run TA 7.0<

[Petra]

I call many tests from within tests. When an error is encountered I want to stop all tests imeadiatly. But when the escape key is used to stop the test run, often times before TA closes the current test, another test is called, so then I have to kill that one, and then the next starts and so on. This causes me to have to hit the escape key 5-10 times or more as I franticly try and stop the tests.

I have recently been forced to bring up Task manager and kill TA tasks running to stop TA from continuing to call tests. This needs to be fixed ASAP !

Have you tried using Run Suites?

I have my tests grouped into suites for different parts of the applications. I am then calling the tests using CruiseControl as part of our 'continuous integration' environment and they go off and run (hopefully). We then have a tool that parses the TA reports and CruiseControl displays Pass or Fail.

The point is, if you hold down 'Esc', you should get the option to 'Stop Test' or 'Stop Suite' which will end all tests in the run suite. Might be of use ot you.

You can also try using the 'Error Handler' with the option selected to 'Stop Test' as the 'Error Handling Action'.

Thanks for the info. I have not tryed "run suites" yet. I plan to integrate the test with QC-10 at some point.

As far as the error handler... i have yet to make that work reliably.

Hi Paul,

The 'stop all test runs' seems to be a good suggestion. We will forward it to our Development Team to have their opinion on whether it could be included in our future releases.
