What exactly is published when publishing Test Cases to Orchestrator?

I want to really understand what happens when you “publish” one or more Test Cases to Orchestrator.

For example, I have a process that does something depending on various inputs, and my Test Case loops through a project-folder-stored Excel sheet to grab sample inputs for the tests.

Some questions:

  1. Does the process I’m testing first have to be separately published into Orchestrator? Or does the test case include the process as well?
  2. Does the “Publish Test Case” process automatically bundle up my Excel sheet with the test case?
  3. If I change something in my process, must I republish both the process and the test cases that test it? In other words, do the test cases depend on the process version?
  4. If I change something in the Excel sheet, must I then republish the test case as well?
  5. When the process has some Test Cases embedded, are they now included in the process package?

  1. Yes you need to publish separately.
  2. Depending on what test case you create if it is excel based data it would
  3. Test cases use latest always…so if arguments dont change then it should be fine not to publish test case again
  4. You have to as the file is already linked
  5. Yes they should be
