I’m currently testing on Internet Explorer 8. My script types in a username and password and logs into a website.
The problem is that the sendkeys() function takes forever to finish. The username is only 8 characters long, but takes about 30 – 40 seconds to enter in. As my tests expand, this is going to translate into tests that take forever to complete.
How can I speed up this operation? I’d prefer not to use native javascript to enter in data.
You basically have two options for entering text in fields:
The first isn’t working for you, and you’ve decided against the second for whatever reason, which leaves just one other thing you could try – a different IE configuration. Try turning protected mode off for all zones (or on if you have it off), sometimes that can make a difference for performance.
