RE: AVTS 4.0.4 - Record/Playback Feature

Thanks Jeff, this is good.  You say it does not break at any consistent point.  Do you mean it can stop in a different place for a given test script, or that it varies in an unpredictable way from test-to-test?
 
One thing to do just to get ahead of the curve a little would be to create a "working" test with a huge repeat and let that run this weekend.  This will at least let me know if we have a leak to fix in addition to our playback issues.  The ballot station operates largely the same whether the test is with one ballot or eight.
 
I will try to come up with a way for you to vary the repeat as part of fixing this.

I am back to trying the Record/Playback Feature.  I have made up several different scripts with 6 ballots.  The first script runs all 6 ballots only 1 time through, and this works fine.  I have tried 2 other scripts of 6 ballots, 1 with a repeat of 15, and another with a repeat of 90.  Both have failed, the 15 repeat stops after the 3rd ballot, and the 90 repeat stops at the summary page of the 2nd ballot.
 
As you can see from the thread below, I did the 1 ballot test with a repeat of 16 and that worked fine.  It seems to be a combination of number of ballots & number of loops.  However, it does not break at any consistent point.  
 
If I were able to create 1 script, and then able to change the number of loops, without having to record the script again, I might be able to narrow it down a bit, but either way there is a problem of some kind.

My educated guess is that it is a fixed buffer.  It will work right up to 6, any repeat.  Would that be sufficient for now?

I did a 1 ballot test with a repeat of 16.  This works fine.  I will keep continuing to increase the number of ballots until I can get it to break again.

*Exactly* the same result, or does it fail at different points?  If you limit your test to say 6 or 7 ballots, does it then work okay?

I have tried it 4 times, all with the same result.
 
As soon as I get my laptop to be able to recognize the PCMCIA card, I will send it to you.
 
Thanks

Repeat it, then send me both scripts if it doesn't work the second try.

Subject: AVTS 4.0.4 - Record/Playback Feature

I have created a script for voting 8 different ballots, each ballot contains 5 pages, and I have set it up to repeat 64 times.  However, when the script gets to the 7th ballot, it skips voting on the the 3rd page, and then when it gets to the final Summary Page it just stays there until you press the F3 key to stop the script.
 
After I recorded the script, I printed out a report to make sure that I had voted every ballot correctly, and the report was correct.
 
Any suggestions???  This is the script that we will need to run for the Wyle volume test.
 
Thanks,
