Squish tip of the week: Import collection of test cases to HP's QC / ALM

Did you know teams can execute, manage and analyze Squish tests and results using Squish’s QC ALM Add-on?.

Using the example below, you can also import a collection of tests to QC ALM in a single call!

Import Call and Parameters

testSuitePath = "C:\\Path\\To\\Test\\Suite\\"
objectmap = "C:\\Path\\To\\objects.map"
tcList = ["tst_contact","tst_fail"]

importListOfTestCases.py --testSuitePath %testSuitePath% --objectmap %objectmap% --tcList %tcList%

Script: Import List Of Test Cases

#!/usr/bin/python
# importListOfTestCases.py

import os
import subprocess
from subprocess import Popen

def importListOfTCs(testSuitePath,objectmap,tcList,qciPath, server, domain, project, user, password, path):
    m = []
    for testCase in range(len(tcList)):
        importTC = "%(qciPath)s --testcase %(testCasePath)s --objectmap %(objectmap)s --server %(server)s --attach-shared-folder --domain %(domain)s --project %(project)s --user %(user)s --password %(password)s --path %(path)s --replace" %{"qciPath":qciPath,"testCasePath":testSuitePath + "\\" + tcList[testCase],"objectmap":objectmap,"server":server,"domain":domain,"project":project,"user":user,"password":password,"path":path}
        proc = Popen(importTC, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        err, out = proc.communicate()
        exitcode = proc.returncode
        if err:
            m.append("Error: %s" % err)

        if exitcode is not 0:
            m.append("Unexpected exit code: %s" % exitcode)

        if out:
            m.append("Test case imported: %s" % out)
    msg = "\n".join(m)
    return "\r\n----------------\r\nImport results\r\n----------------\r\n%s" % msg
