Adding test cases
The following example describes how to add a test case.
1. Localize external namespaces.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
2. Set up the namespace, provide the login information, and define the project name.
namespace CreateTestCase
{
class CreateTestCase
{
static void Main (string[] args)
{
long cookie = -1;
ttsoapcgi ttsdk = null;
try
{
string username = "username";
string password = "password";
string ProjectName = "ProjectName";
3. Create an instance of the ttsoapcgi class, which is generated from the ttsoapcgi.wsdl file.
ttsdk = new ttsoapcgi();
4. Set the URL that the ttsdk object connects to if you are not using the default URL from the WSDL file.
ttsdk.Url = "http://localhost:80/scripts/ttsoapcgi.exe";
5. Select the Helix ALM project to connect to and set proj to reference it.
CProject[] projects = ttsdk.getProjectList(username, password);
CProject proj = null;
foreach (CProject p in projects)
{
if (p.database.name.Equals(projectName))
{
proj = p;
break;
}
}
6. Log in to the project.
cookie = ttsdk.ProjectLogon(proj, username, password);
7. Create a CTestCase object and enter the test case information.
You must provide data for all required fields to correctly initialize the object.
CTestCase TC = new CTestCase();
TC.summary = "Example Test Case 1";
TC.type = "API";
TC.createdbyuser = "LastName, FirstName, MiddleInitial";
TC.steps =
"* Step 1\r\n"
+ "* Step 2\r\n"
+ "+ Expected result on Step 2.\r\n"
+ "* Step 3";
8. Retrieve the list of custom fields from the test case table using the getCustomFieldsDefinitionList operation.
CField[] fieldDefs = ttsdk.getCustomFieldsDefinitionList(cookie, "Test Case");
TC.customFieldList = new CField [2];
The following example adds data to custom fields. Because CStringField inherits from CField, you can add a CStringField to an array of CField.
CStringField desc = new CStringField();
desc.name = "Description";
desc.value = "This is the first line of the description field.\r\n"
+ "This is the second line of the description field.\r\n";
TC.customFieldList[0] = desc;
CDropdownField product = new CDropdownField();
product.name = "Product";
product.value = "Product B";
TC.customFieldList[1] = product;
9. Finish adding the test case and catch exceptions.
ttsdk.addTestCase(cookie, TC);
Console.WriteLine("Finished adding new test case");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred:");
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
10. End the session and log out of the Helix ALM SDK.
finally
{
if (ttsdk != null && cookie != -1)
{
ttsdk.DatabaseLogoff(cookie);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
