Timer Activities

The Testing Activity Pack now includes the possibility to test time ranges with the new Timer Activity. It allows to start and stop timers and their output can be easily verified. This improvement allows easy performance testing for the tested application.

I see that these activities are under System.Activities so any new project created in 2022.08 release will automatically inherit these activities.

I tried this on both a new testing project and a new process project. In both the Timer activities are under system namespace. This will have a great impact. We will be using this in our REFramework when the stable version is released.

Here is a sample workflow showing the use of the new timer activities : Is there any inbuilt activity for Capture Time for each step - #6 by jeevith

Hi @alexandru,

@alexandru

The new layout designers for libraries is available for Windows and Cross-platform projects and since you use 22.8 it should work. Remember that the Input Type + Values are impacted by the argument type.

All of a sudden, the same project and activity now shows the input type. I had the arguments both in string before and now. So not sure what happened there.

Regarding .json files it will work with Open.

True that, I double clicked within the project and the json file opens up as a editable file. Great!

I notice that the red text is not so visible in the dark mode. May be the theme within the text/json file need suit the dark mode?

In light mode the contrast looks good
