To me it sounds like it is more the program or web page that you are testing that can’t handle all the key entries that fast. Eggplant won’t do the click until it knows that the previous line has been run and sent to the SUT.
I think there are several ways to deal with this.
You could easily do this. Which is what I usually do. I am currently testing a flash app and this is a problem for me.
TypeText “text”
Wait 2 Seconds
Click “Button”
The RemoteWorkInterval is definitely a good way as well but I use the same eggplant license to test various applicaitons so adjusting these to cater to one project can slow things down for other scripts I have.
I have also noticed that tabbing through menus quickly can be problematic for me so I just created a little script to slow things down with out editing eggplant preferences so that the application on the SUT can keep up.
something simple like this can be modified to deal with multiple keys in a array or try changing the preferences --> Run options --> Keyboard --> Next Key Delay
set keys to (" ",“Sample.txt”, " " etc…)
repeat with each item of keys times
Wait 0.5 Seconds
TypeText it
end repeat
I believe that RAM on the SUT will play a part in this also and the number of apps that are running on the SUT or the app you are testing if it is CPU intensive.
