Dynamic Test Cases qTest

Learn to create automatically test cases based on tests in qTest.

What Is a Dynamic Test Case?

Dynamic test cases are a unique feature in BELLATRIX, where the framework automatically generates test cases in a popular test case management system based on your automated tests. It will populate the title, description, and other necessary properties automatically. Moreover, it will generate human-readable steps and expected results. The most significant benefit is that it will keep up to date your auto-generated test cases over time, no matter what you change in your tests. It is an excellent functionality to allow non-technical people of your company to see what your tests are doing.

Configuration

When you turn on the feature and will assign listeners to common actions in the framework that will populate the auto-generated test case’s steps and expected results. In the testFrameworkSettings.json file you need to enable the integration.

  "dynamicTestCasesSettings": {
    "isEnabled": "true"
  },
  "qTestDynamicTestCasesSettings": {
    "isEnabled": "true",
    "serviceAddress": "https://yourProject.qtestnet.com/",
    "token": "yourAuthenticationToken",
    "userName": "yourUserName",
    "password": "yourPass",
    "projectId": "559370",
    "fieldValues": [
      {
        "id": "9261",
        "value": "300",
        "displayValue": "Automation"
      },
      {
        "id": "8785",
        "value": "[1]",
        "displayValue": "[UI]"
      }
    ]
  },

You need to supply a user name and password or authentication token so that the plug-in API can connect with qTest. Also, if your test cases have custom fields, you can specify them under the fieldValues array. The last step is to configure the test classes and tests.
