Is there is way to pass arguments from Test Manager to a Test Case?

Do we have any option for passing arguments from Test Manager to Test Case just like in Orchestrator → Testing → Test Cases?

@Hari

You can use test queues or assets

Cheers

3

like is there an option access Assets from Test Manager?

4

@Hari

Your test project also can access assets and the test queue is also separate…get asset would work in that xaml also

Cheers

5

What if you want to use different assets for different test runs?

6

@Maksym_Korostil

Then plce the assets you want to read in a file and keep that file outside somwhere…nad control what assets to read

Cheers

7

Very well. But how to control what assets to read at the moment of running the Test Set?

8

@Maksym_Korostil

That is what is the config file for…read the config and then read the corresponding asset values only

Cheers

Thanks for the quick response. Actually, I’ve been meaning a bit different thing.

Here is the case.
You have test set TS1 with test cases A and B.
Also, you have test set TS2 with test cases B and C.
Now you want to run TS1 on the UAT environment and TS2 on the Pre-PROD environment. This means you need to use different TestData and different configs and creds for connection.

How to accomplish that?

@Maksym_Korostil

Depending on the env choose the config or use the same config but change the values in it as needed

Cheers

11

What if somebody from the team runs TS1 while I am running TS2 and TestData is changed?
Is there a way to dynamically say automation to use particular values of test data, e. g. based on Custom Field defined within the Project and assigned to the Test Set?

12

@Maksym_Korostil

Maintain separate assets for ts1 and 2 that would solve

Cheers

13

Could you explain this in more details? How to assign the particular asset to the particular test set in Test Manager?

14

@Maksym_Korostil

You would do it in the test xaml …and depending on what asset is used in which test case you can give values in assets

This is similr to your ref config where you add assests

Cheers

15

The point is to be able to run any test case with different test data at the same time.
Is this possible?

Previously you said to maintain asset for test SET. Now this is asset for test CASE. I’m a bit confused.

16

@Maksym_Korostil

Okay if that is the use case then you can use test queues …with different data

Cheers

17

And how Test Case will know what item or what queue to consume in the runtime?

18

@Maksym_Korostil

Each test case will have its dedicated test queue

Cheers

19

Then you need two test cases (if there are two environments) for every real test case just to cover this requirement.
It doesn’t work.
Any other options?

@Maksym_Korostil

For each env you dont need a test case…same test case can be used in both…

only data need to change as per the env…so test data queue data will change

it would be good if you once try to implement as this has been an endless discussion without a trail

cheers
