Test Controllers TestRunStorage has filled up hard drive

by XDK 31. May 2013 11:54

Explanation

When a load test is executed from the local machine the assemblies required to run the test are copied to the controller. The files are copied to a directory on the controller in the following location Drive:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController.The Test results are copied to a directory on the controller in the following location Drive:\Users\<Account>\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController\TestRunStorage.
Each deployment and TestRunStorage will have a further directory named with a unique GUID where the files are copied.

For example

Deployment folder location: C:\Users\[USER ACCOUNT]\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController\[GUID]
TestRunStorage folder location : C:\Users\[USER ACCOUNT]\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController\TestRunStorage\[GUID]

Workaround

Delete the folders under C:\Users\[USER ACCOUNT]\AppData\Local\VSEQT\QTController\. or a scheduled task to delete the folders periodically

Web Performance & Load Tests

Could not access the load test results repository: The load test results repository is out of space. Allocate more space to the repository (if possible), or delete results of the older load test runs.

Problem

The load test rig database was configured on SQL Server 2008 express edition which can hold maximum database size of 4 gb

Workaround

Note: Always test the blog script on your test environment before executing on production environment

This problem can be overcame by removing historical results

-- Start Script

-- This script deletes all load test run older than two weeks
-- To change the timeframe, change the number of days from 14 to the desired number
 
USE LoadTest
DECLARE @LoadTestRunId int
DECLARE OldLoadTestsCursor CURSOR FOR
    SELECT LoadTestRunId FROM LoadTestRun WHERE datediff(dd, StartTime, getdate()) > 14
 
OPEN OldLoadTestsCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM OldLoadTestsCursor INTO @LoadTestRunId
 
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    EXEC Prc_DeleteLoadTestRun @LoadTestRunId
    FETCH NEXT FROM OldLoadTestsCursor INTO @LoadTestRunId
END
 
CLOSE OldLoadTestsCursor
DEALLOCATE OldLoadTestsCursor

-- End Script

Solution

Configure the rig to other editions of SQL server.

Group Name: TeamTestControllerUsers

Includes permissions from the TeamTestAgentService group.Start test runs.View test results
Add users that only need to run tests and view test results.

Group Name: TeamTestControllerAdmins

Includes permissions from the TeamTestControllerUsers and TeamTestAgentService groups.Delete, pause, or postpone any test run.Add, remove, and change the status of test agents.Create lab environments.
