How to start a component test in Sitecore 8?
In sitecore7.5 there was a button Start Test on the ribbon, now under the Optimizaion menu in Experience Editor there are Lists section and Create a page test. But not Start test button.
Just to clarify what I'm trying to achieve. I've an Item that has a rendering in Presentation Details. On that rendering there is a MV test defined. I would like to start this test.
Sitecore 8 now has new A/B testing features.
In the Page Editor (Experience Editor) there is an Optimization tab. Here you can Click "Start a Test". Instead of just being able to test certain controls individually you can now test a complete variation of a page.
You then go to the Experience Optimization option on the Dashboard to see how well your variations are performing.
You can still test individual components in the Page Editor as before by clicking on the component and selecting the "Test a component" option in the ribbon above the component.
In Sitecore 8 you should run the component test using the workflow command "Approve with test". Take a look at this document

I created dynamic action in oracle apex i.e when selecting more than one check box it displays that "to select only one checkbox" if i click ok button of this message the checkboxes should be unchecked
After the confirm DA, add another DA with plsql code
:PXX_CHECKBOX_ITEM := null;
items to submit ->
:PXX_CHECKBOX_ITEM
What Valerio wrote would work, but I am guessing this is to do with the apex.item stuff you have been dealing with.
You will need to add another DA that is triggered by clicking the ok button. Then you need to have the DA run Javascript code. Since I saw you were asking about how to run javascript, in this case you need to go into the true actions of the dynamic action and set the Action to Execute Javascript code.(For other Javascript code you can click on Page XX: Name of page in the Rendering tab on the left, and if you scroll down on the right there should be a section for Javascript)
And the Javscript code you need to execute to uncheck should be $s or something similair. https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/germancommunities/apexcommunity/tipp/6341/index-en.html is a good starting point on just these basics.
I actually tend to avoid interactive reports, I prefer Interactive Grids. But you do you. If you do get into Interactive grids I recommend you go through this: https://github.com/mgoricki/orclapex-ig-cheat-sheet
I'm a beginner for developing intelliJ plugins. I've already established connection from Jubula to my AUT.
I want to write a test suite, to check the availability of a sub menu item in intelliJ.
Please assist me.
If you don't want to dig too deep into Jubula, then all you have to do is use the Observation Mode (camera icon) and record clicking on your menu item.
When the test is executed it will do exactly the same; it will mark the test failed if the menu can not be clicked.
There's also a cheat sheet on how to test menus available via Help/Cheat Sheets. The documentation for testing menus is here:

I am working on the Sitecore A/B testing and I would like to test my A version with my product section on the top, while in B version, my whole product section is on the bottom?
I have tried to figure it out in the Sitecore Jetstream demo site first (see the diagram in below). I want to move the whole bottom section upwards in my version B, while version A keep as it is. However, I cannot do so but only able to change the component within a section.
Can someone help me on this? Thanks in advance.
There are 2 types of Experience Optimization multivar, A/B tests in Sitecore, the component test and the page test. In your case which kind of test you need depends on the jet stream demo possibilities. With the page test you can test to a new page as long as it uses the same template. The component test is just for one component.
Create a new page where you move the hole section, and use a Sitecore page test.
(If it is not possible to move the section, first change the template to make it possible)

I'm trying to implement web solution with sitecore 7.x as a content manager. My web application is a MVC solution. I've installed Sitecore and set up MVC project.
The problem is that AB/MV tests don't work when using *.cshtml layout with #Html.Sitecore().Placeholder(...) and ControllerRenderings.
I have Item defined with layout set to LayoutMVC.cshtml file.
#inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage
#using Sitecore.Mvc
<html>
<body>
MAIN:#Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("main")END
</body>
</html>
I render ControllerRendering into main placeholder and I want to add variation to component rendered here. Basicaly I can add a variation using Page Editor and everything is fine until I click save in Page Editor. Then the test is saved but I cannot see first variation anymore. I see the content from the original item. I can choose variations but instead of Variation1 there is a Default content.
When I start a test it doesn't work at all. Always renders original Item.
The same test works when I use /sitecore/Layout/Layouts/Sample Layout which is an aspx layout but I need to use MVC #Html.Sitecore().Placeholder(...) method as I want to render placeholders dynamically later.
Additionaly DMS works fine for this configuration. I can personalize content.
This appears to be a bug. I reproduced the behavior in v7.2 update 2. I just logged the issue with Sitecore Support and will report back with their comments.
Update
Sitecore Support has confirmed that this is a bug. I'm putting a fix together. Stay tuned.
The hotfix is available here: https://github.com/BenGGolden/Sitecore.Mvc.TestingHotfix
Not sure why but I am not seeing the 'Applications' folder under 'Content'. All the tutorials out there mention editing the (/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Custom Experience Button) items to accomplish what I need.
My guess is I don't have view access to the core database in order to see these items or folders? If this isn't the case, how would I go about finding these buttons? Any help appreciated and I apologize if I didn't provide enough info but my goal is to add features to the page editor component toolbars.
To make this a formal answer...
First, login to desktop mode (on login screen, select "Desktop" from "Options" expander below form). Next, change database to core at bottom right:
Finally, re-open your content manager and you should see the /sitecore/content/Applications node.
