How do you restore a deleted Folder and the Test Cases that were in it?

Steve Crowell — 5/24/2013 10:43:17 AM

I deleted a folder that contained 170 test cases. Now my user wants them back. How do I restore the folder and test cases?

How to do Test approval? - workflow and email alert problems

Randall Siebert — 5/21/2013 3:53:31 PM

Our industry is heavily regulated and we need to show that our tests have been reviewed and approved.
We envision having two levels of review:

Peer review for structure and general content
Technical review for requirements coverage

I created two custom fields to assign these roles to users.
I created two more custom fields for their commments.
And I created 2 custom fields to record the result of the review (Not Reviewd/Pass/Fail)

I had hoped that our process could then go as follows:

Assign peer and technical reviewers
Move test to 'Awaiting Approval'
Reviewers get email saying that they need to do their work
Person assigned to test gets email when reviews are done
Assigned person moves test to Approved (or fixes things and goes back for second review)
The history for the test shows exactly who did everything and when.

Seemed like a nice idea but I cannot find any way to get the email to be sent to the appropriate people. I can get 'broadcast' email but nothing going to just the reviewers and assigned person.

Would it be better to modify the workflow to add 'Peer Review' and 'Tech Review' status and then change the 'Assigned' field to each reviewer in turn?
That would slow things down since both reviews could not occur at the same time.

Suggestions would be most appreciated on approval workflow and targeting email alerts.

Do NOT upgrade to version 9.8.1

Brett Berry — 5/21/2013 11:35:32 AM

Until SmartBear support resolves the "500 Internal Server Error" issue, DO NOT upgrade to version 9.8.1

We are essentially dead in the water until they provide a resolution

Music App!!

Jeni Dicosta — 5/17/2013 6:39:52 AM

Fellows, I discovered an application that is a mess such as instagram of the music planet. This new application is called Tunebash. It was alright from the beginning, yet its pretty cool when you include your companions. It permits you to pursuit any melody, craftsman, or client. You can accompany your companions see what they are listening to, and you can track your most beloved craftsmen. The configuration is truly cool, and incorporates a mess of usefulness like instagram and facebook. Investigate the application, its def worth the time:

Found the answer in the user guide - learned that instructions ARE useful :-)! Thanks!

Data driving manual tests

Jeff Corwin — 5/15/2013 12:22:12 PM

Looking for a method to associate multiple data inputs with the same test ( manual). In our case, the same test needs to be run with varying data inputs for one step. The thought is, execute that step muliple times, not the actual test itself. I know the automated solution provides a method for this, looking for a way to do them same for a manaul testcase which MAY be automated in the future.

Thanks!

RE: Testsets Issue

Anik Cadieux — 5/15/2013 10:08:19 AM

We are using QAComplete 9.7 and we have the same problems you mentionned:

1- During execution, if we edit the steps of a test, the popup message asking if we want to update the library does NOT show if we press "End Run". But it will show if we press "Next Test".

2- After editing steps during a run, and pressing Next Test, then YES to update the library with our changes, if we run again the same Test Set with the same release and configuration, the new edited steps are not there.

If I understand Barbara's answer correctly, it means that if we press the Run button, modify test steps and update library, every subsequent times we press Run on this test set and choose this same configuration and release, a snapshot is taken and I will NEVER see my new test steps ? If so, I find the funcionality of editing steps during run useless, and unpredictable. Furthermore, this makes the test set NOT re-usable. That is too bad.

Web Service - 'Object moved' error

David Codrington — 5/15/2013 4:30:49 AM

Hi,

Firstly, I'm new to SOAP so please bear with me.

I'm trying to connect to the Web Service but getting the following error :

[quote=]The request failed with the error message:

<head><title>Object moved</title></head>

<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This object may be found <a HREF="http://www.PragmaticSW.com/SiteMap.asp">here</a>.</body>[/quote]

The test code I am using is a C# representation of the VB program TestWebService :

[quote=][System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name = "ServiceSoap", Namespace = "http://www.pragmaticsw.com/")]

class SoapHttpRequest : SoapHttpClientProtocol

{

public SoapHttpRequest()

{

this.Url = "http://www.pragmaticsw.com/GetLoginInfo";

}

[System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://www.pragmaticsw.com/GetLoginInfo", RequestNamespace = "http://www.pragmaticsw.com/", ResponseNamespace = "http://www.pragmaticsw.com/", Use = System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]

[WebMethod(MessageName = "GetLoginInfo")]

public int request_GetLoginInfo()

{

object[] results = this.Invoke("GetLoginInfo", new object[] { "agSP", "a.b@c.net", "password123" });

return ((int)results[0]);

}

}[/quote]

Can anyone see any blindingly obvious errors?

Thanks

Dave

Hello, the video shows test cases etc being linked to a story. Can it go the other way?

Can I fail a test in QAComplete and create a bug in Jira from there?

RE: psWS and ProjId

William Echlin — 5/13/2013 6:27:59 AM

You can find the project id by following these steps...

1. click on setup tab
2. click on projects at the top of the left hand navigation pane
3. then click on the 'choose fields' option in the menu bar and select ID

In the resulting list of projects that are displayed you'll find the project ID for each project.

Hope this helps.

RE: Need to determine all security administrators for all projects

Brett Berry — 5/10/2013 2:07:28 PM

The reply from support didnt provide me with what I requested, so I came up with this query, which seemed to do the trick. (22427 was what SecurityAdmin evaluated to in the SecurityGroups table)

SELECT Persons.FirstName + ' ' + Persons.LastName AS SecurityAdmin, Projects.ProjName
FROM PersonSecurityGroups, Projects, Persons
WHERE SecurityGroupId=22427
AND PersonSecurityGroups.ProjId=Projects.ProjId
AND PersonSecurityGroups.UserId=Persons.UserId
ORDER BY ProjName ASC

psWS and ProjId

David Codrington — 5/10/2013 4:16:45 AM

Hi,

I am looking to create a connection with my bespoke test execution machine and QAComplete. I am trying to use TestWebService.exe to check out capabilities but cannot find a value to use for ProjId. Hence, I get the following result :

Test Authentication

Start: 09/05/2013 16:28:03

psWS.AuthenticationException:

Authentication data is not valid. Please retry ...

End: 09/05/2013 16:28:07

I have looked throughout QAComplete and checked all fields (including Choose Fields) but cannot find a value to use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Dave

Composing email and discussions

Randall Siebert — 5/9/2013 4:37:15 PM

Our team is just learning ALMComplete. One member was asked to look at the in-tool email capability. He raised the following questions about the editor that appear when one creates an email or discussion.

There is no way to save an email once you start it. So you are in a bit of trouble if you get interrupted. He is accustomed to Outlook and other email tools that let you work on a draft, save it and come back later.
Insert image - there is no browser to get to your image. Tried to enter a 'source; location but it could not figure out how to get it to work.
Insert table - nothing ever appears. Tried various sizes.
Bookmark - again, nothing ever goes into the body of the email. Can paste into the Name but cannot type in the other large box
Hyperlink - can put things into some fields but never get anything into the email after pressing 'insert'
Maybe something is fouled up in our installation but as of now I can only recommend that we use the in-tool email for very simple communications. During evaluation of the tool we thought this would be a strong feature, but clearly we didn't test it out too much during our trial period.

Please advise on what we may be doing wrong.
