When you integrate SpiraTeam or SpiraPlan installed on-premise with an external Git source code repository, Spira has to maintain a copy of the Git repository locally. Sometimes you need to refresh this Git repo manually if an update did not complete. This article explains the process
By default the Rapise Flex library supports a wide variety of Flex controls which will be capable of testing the majority of application. However sometimes there will be an unknown objects which will be learnt as a generic object with FlexObject flavor. The article describes support for such custom Flex controls.
This article is obsolete. Flex support was removed from Rapise since Flex is dead already for a long time.
When you use the Perforce Provider for Spira you may sometimes run into a Windows folder permission error. This is due to the Perforce API running as a specific user that does not have access to the Windows temporary profile storage area.
UI Automation is a default technology for testing desktop applications on Windows. If your application is not .NET or Java then Rapise will turn on UI Automation library during recording. If some elements in your application are not recognized or there are issues with playback of recorded steps then most likely your application is using custom UI controls. You may inspect those controls and send information to Rapise support team to get recommendations on how to proceed with testing.
This article is for those who test a desktop application via UI Automation library. Since desktop applications are frequently built using UI controls from different vendors and the number of such controls available on the market is pretty big (> 1k) - Rapise may not have out-of-the-box support for some controls in your application. For such cases Rapise offers a low level API to navigate UI Automation tree of elements inside an application and read/write element properties. In this tutorial we'll show how to use this API and quickly add minimal support for a custom control.
When SpiraTeam or SpiraPlan is connecting to a Subversion (SVN) repository running on Windows Server, sometimes the Windows server will not close connections fast enough, causing the cache build to fail.
If you are using SpiraTeam and SpiraPlan on-premise, and are looking at our TaraVault cloud-hosted code management service, this article explains what TaraVault is, and how you can have the same functionality on Premise.
If you want to migrate your TaraVault Subversion repositories from Subversion (SVN) to Git, to take advanced of the superior merging and branching functionality, as well enabling your teams to work in a distributed manner, this KB article explains the steps to perform the migration, whilst keeping your commit history and branches.
