Timeout Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.69, last modified on November 13, 2024

Description

Use this property to specify the maximum execution time of the test item in minutes. This property corresponds to the Timeout column of the project suite editor’s Test Items page.

Declaration

ProjectSuiteTestItem_COMAccessObj.Timeout

Read-Write Property Integer
ProjectSuiteTestItem_COMAccessObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a ProjectSuiteTestItem_COMAccess object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

Specifies the maximum execution time for the given test item in minutes.

Remarks

If this property is equal to 0, the timeout is ignored.

Example

The following example obtains the ProjectSuiteTests_COMAccess object and uses its properties to obtain the ProjectSuiteTestItem_COMAccess objects corresponding to individual project suite test items (projects). It displays project suite test items' properties and runs the test items one after another.
