Teststand slows down while running in loop or large Project

[Hacky]

While performing Tests with more than 250 Test Steps Teststand slows increasingsly down. At Loop= 0 the loop time is ~40ms. At Loop = 1000 the Loop Time is 350 ms increasing exponentially. I suppose this is because of the datalogging. When i switch off datalogging the loop time remains stable.

So what we did is: moving the Datalog per step to an sql server and performing Report.Reset at the end of the report sequence.

Why doesnt that help ?

Hi,

It maybe due to the Locals.ResultList filling up, try clearing this as well when you  reset your report.

Hell Ray,

just to feedback my results.

There is a slow down of Teststand x.x when performing lot of test steps with reporting on.

In TS 3.x you can increase performance dramatically by performing a few selections in

the Configure - Report Options.

[X] on the fly reporting

[X] Conserve Memory and only display latest Results

(o) DLL faster but .......

But one must recognize, that this features are only available if Report is ASCII or HTML.

If one switches Report to XML, the checkbox  "Conserve Memory and only display latest Results"

will be disabled.

On the fly reporting without these options wouldn't solve the Problem.

Thanks for your input on this topic! I got rid of the 'On the fly reporting' thing in my tests and my execution time drastically improved even on XML reporting format.
