TestLink

Hi,

I'm using testLink to test a range of multimedia products. The tests mainly consist in video conversion and every possible combination needs to be tested. This leads to a huge number of test cases (around 20 000).
Due too this large number of tests, I've came across some issues in testLink:

-After generating the tests in my software in an XML suitable for testLink, I simply cannot import them because the file is too big (around 10MB). I have to split it into aprox. 1.4 Mb files and the import them. This is a real bother because then I have to import something like 20 files. Isn't there a way to import multiple XML files at a time or to fix this problem?
(and yes, I've seen this http://www.teamst.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3626 and other topics about it) I think the problem is that there are too many insert statements to the database either simultaneously or in a short period of time. So maybe the problem is not with the filesize, is with the number of tests it contains.

-When inserting test cases into a test plan, using the "Add /Remove Test cases" menu, it gets to a point where I simply cannot add anymore tests. The limit is always around 1100 tests. When I try to insert even a single test case after the limit was reached, it doesn't insert. It doesn't give an error message or anything.

Can you help me on this?
Thanks

for XML import => open issue on mantis and PROVIDE XML FILE you are using.
if you can not post public => zip and send to testlink.helpme@gmail.com
Please provide exact TL version

Providing a DUMP of your db also will help => BEFORE DUMP truncate events and transactions table => dump => zip => send to testlink.helpme@gmail.com

I've opened an issue here:

What about the test plan limit? Any idea on what that could be?

EDIT: Using 1.9.3 by the way

Hi,

I'm currently benchmarking TestLink (1.9.3) and I'm looking for informations about limitations of items number that TestLink can manage.

For example, how many test cases can be created from requirements, how many test cases can be included in a test plan, in a test suite, etc.

Does somebody know where I can find these informations ? Can you also tell me how many test cases you use and if you have problems ?

Some improvement will be included in the next version 1.9.4, a TestLink developper give me some information about it:

"version 1.9.3 has some performance issues (speed, and memory usage), that will be solved on 1.9.4 ( will be released on August), but we have already provided minor fixes, that you can get on our mantis site, sometimes we attach code to issues, other we add link to git commit.
There is people that use as much as 50K test cases on a test project, and 5000 on a test plan, this is clear put a big stress
on user interface.
"
Can you also tell us what will be approximatively the 1.9.4 capacities ?

Thank you for your answer,
Regards
