OverrideProfiler Property

Applies to TestComplete 14.71, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

A tested application can be run in Profile mode. In this mode, TestComplete launches AQtime and then starts the application under AQtime. To profile the application, TestComplete can create a new AQtime project and add the tested application to it, or it can use an existing AQtime project. The OverrideProfiler property lets you set whether TestComplete will use the profiler specified in the project, or the profiler that is specified by the ProfilerName property.

The OverrideProfiler property only has effect if the UseProject property is True.

The OverrideProfiler property value corresponds to the Override project profiler option specified for the tested application in the TestedApps editor.

Declaration

TestedAppProfileParamsObj.OverrideProfiler

Read-Write Property Boolean
TestedAppProfileParamsObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a TestedAppProfileParams object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

True, if TestComplete uses the profiler specified by the ProfilerName property. False, if TestComplete uses the profiler specified by an AQtime project.

Remarks

If you assign a value to this property, TestComplete will treat your project as modified. So, you will need to save or cancel changes when closing the project. The specified value will be displayed in the TestedApps editor.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to modify the tested application’s parameters in script:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{

  var testApp = TestedApps.Items("SampleApp");

  // Obtain the tested application's parameters
  var params = testApp.Params;
  // Obtain the Profile run mode's parameters
  var profileParams = params.ProfileParams;

  // Specify the AQtime version
  profileParams.AQtimeVersion = 8;

  // Specify that TestComplete will use an AQtime project to profile the tested application
  profileParams.UseProject = true;
  // Specify the path to the AQtime project that TestComplete will use
  profileParams.ProjectFileName = "D:\\Work Folder\\Sample.aqt";

  // Specify that TestComplete sets the AQtime run mode after profiling starts
  profileParams.ForceRunMode = true;
  // Specify the AQtime run mode during profiling
  profileParams.RunMode = "Normal";

  // Specify that TestComplete uses the profiler specified in the TestComplete project
  profileParams.OverrideProfiler = true;

  // Specify the name of the AQtime profiler that will be used to profile the application
  profileParams.ProfilerName = "Performance Profiler";

  // Apply the modified parameters and activate the Profile run mode
  profileParams.Activate();

  // Launch the tested application
  var AQtimeObj = testApp.Run();

  // Simulate user actions against the tested application
  // …

  // Wait until profiling is over and export the profiling results
  AQtimeObj.WaitAndExportResults("D:\\Work Folder\\SummaryResultsFile.xml", "D:\\Work Folder\\ResultsFile.xml");

}

Python

def Test():
  testApp = TestedApps.Items["SampleApp"]
  # Obtain the tested application's parameters 
  params = testApp.Params
  # Obtain the Profile run mode's parameters 
  profileParams = params.ProfileParams
  # Specify the AQtime version 
  profileParams.AQtimeVersion = 8
  # Specify that TestComplete will use an AQtime project to profile the tested application 
  profileParams.UseProject = True
  # Specify the path to the AQtime project that TestComplete will use 
  profileParams.ProjectFileName = "D:\\Work Folder\\Sample.aqt"
  # Specify that TestComplete sets the AQtime run mode after profiling starts 
  profileParams.ForceRunMode = True
  # Specify the AQtime run mode during profiling 
  profileParams.RunMode = "Normal"
  # Specify that TestComplete uses the profiler specified in the TestComplete project 
  profileParams.OverrideProfiler = True
  # Specify the name of the AQtime profiler that will be used to profile the application 
  profileParams.ProfilerName = "Performance Profiler"
  # Apply the modified parameters and activate the Profile run mode 
  profileParams.Activate()
  # Launch the tested application 
  AQtimeObj = testApp.Run()
  # Simulate user actions against the tested application 
  # ... 
  # Wait until profiling is over and export the profiling results 
  AQtimeObj.WaitAndExportResults("D:\\Work Folder\\SummaryResultsFile.xml", "D:\\Work Folder\\ResultsFile.xml")
