Long Running Tests
Aus ExpeccoWiki
If a test is running for a long time, your trace/log data may grow to a huge size. This is both hard to handle and may also lead to a situation where expecco runs out of memory.
To avoid this, the amount of generated trace data can be trimmed by one of the following means:
- disable the trace for individual steps (especially those steps in a loop)
- turn on the trim-successful flag. With this enabled, only non-successful traces for failing activities are kept. Children of a successful activity are automatically trimmed, so that in the end, you get full detail for error conditions and completely pruned branches for all passed ones.
- limit the depth of the execution trace
- limit the number of children
Notice also, that the systems execution speed may be affected by huge traces - this has been much improved in rel1.7, where a workaround was added to deal with the inefficient handling of big hierarchical trees in the trace/log tree widget component.
We plan to allow for trace data to be written directly to a file in a later version.
