DP and called .vbs make for slow runtime - wheelercha - 01-05-2011
Need advice.
I've built a suite of test cases that operate from a framework of called public sub routines and descriptive programming that uses a variable to pass in the description at runtime.
Test Settings refernces the file of variables :
Example: Variable = Public Const Browser := "Title = Browser"
Action calls a public sub :
navigate()
Browser(Browser).click
ISSUES:
The issue is that to do anything in this method is about 10x slower than simply running the routines within the action.
My theory is that the fact that I am paasing in the variables(that hold the descriptions) to the sub routines at runtime is slowing the automation performance down. I tried using a dictionary object but when the sub routine is called I don't see the that the descriptions are being passed so the code fails. What can I do? I am doing it this way so that rather changing 100's of subroutines I can simply change 1 variable in one file.
Variables <---> 100 Sub routines
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Charles
