Peformance inconsistencies

Hi,

I have a test suite that I have run 4 times in a row and logged the durations for each run.

1. Duration = 8.1 min
2. Duration = 8.1 min
3. Duration = 6.5 min
4. Duration = 8.2 min

Is there any reason I would be getting such a difference in time when running the same suite of tests over and over?


Brad.

From only 4 tests it seems that only one was faster than others. Are you sure that all steps were executed correctly? We have tests that take say 5 minutes if everything works fine but 30 minutes if AUT is unresponsive and we need to click again on some buttons. Maybe something was running in the background hogging up cpu or memory? Maybe you had extra windows open leaving Ranorex to search through more elements?
