teststand 2010 code work under teststand 2013

[ramjeev]

Hi,

We have some code developed in Teststand 2010 and planning to migrate to Teststand 2013 by adding some improvements to the existing code.

Question is will the existing Teststand 2010 code  works fine in Teststand 2013 without any changes?

please clarify me on this.

regards,

Ramjee

Ramjee,

as TestStand is no programming language, there is no "code". TestStand uses "sequences" and i think you refer to this.

Yes, you can open 2010 sequence files in TestStand 2013, in general without issues.

One point which might create issues is that you are using custom data/step types and don't move the specifications of those to TS 2013 as well...

EDIT: If you dont have TS 2013 by now, i recommend you to download the eval version and simply try it out for yourself.

In general, we strive to make TestStand as backwards compatible as possible, and in many cases you can just open a sequence file in the newer version of TestStand and it will work without any changes. Though since TestStand allows for a wide variety of customization, the ease of the migration somewhat depends on how and what you have customized, for example, process models, step types, etc. might require some additional work to migrate to the newer version of TestStand. There is a migration tool in newer versions of TestStand that should be able to help you with this process when you install on a machine with an older version containing the customizations you wish to migrate.

Hope this helps,
