Execution Time Incorrect?

I just executed an automated test case that has about 3,500 commands/steps.

It ran all the way through without any stopping/pausing or failures.

At the bottom of the test run it says, 'Total Execution Time: 2191343 (ms)'

This translates to about 36 minutes.

It took alot longer than 36 minutes to execute.  I went to the logs and grabbed the timestamps from the first step to the last step.  

Start:  12-12-2019 14:17:03.096

End:  12-12-2019 16:34:24.599

This is about 2 hours and 17 minutes which seems more realistic/accurate.

Dominic,

An Execution Duration column has been added in release 8.8.0 which shows the total execution duration from the start time to end time.

It will be available to you when you plan to upgrade.

Dominic,

The total execution time consists of a combined execution time of every single step, but does not include any duration between steps like speed parameter. Even minimal value of 200 ms per step scales a lot in such a big test case. We are working on adding another column that calculates time based on start time and end time of execution.

Hi Joseph,

Can you tell me where this new column is?  We have upgraded to 8.8 and I do not see the new Execution Duration column that you mention.

Hi Dominic,

Could you please send me the following from User Preferences page:

Default Runtime Speed, Default Page Timeout and Default Locator Timeout ?

Hi Dominic,

Apologies for any confusion, the total execution was added to cloud runs and can be seen when you navigate to Executions.

However, after investigation of the local run period and looking at the User Preferences page you have sent, it shows that Runtime Speed is 1 second (1,000ms), which means there is about 1 hour of delay between 3500 steps execution.

Was the test case was paused during your execution ?

Is it possible to also have that column added to local runs as well?

 

It was not paused and no errors/failures.
