Testcase management from third party testtools

Question

Hello,
I am using soapUI, a web services testing tool, to test web services. We have thousands of testcases and their descriptions all stored within this application. We were using Mercury Quality Center to manage test cases. Since Mercury QC has an open API we were able to add and update testcase from within soapUI.

Now that we are moving to TFS, can someone tell how to move my thousands of testcase from soapUI or Quality Center to TFS.
1. Is it possible to upload testcases from a excel sheet ?
2. Does TFS expose some API to access testcases so that their status can be updated.
3. can some .NET code be writting to bypass manually interacting with test manager.

I am sure that anyone moving to TFS should naturally want to know how to migrate their existing infrastructure to TFS

Thanks

Ali

Answer 1

A test case is a type of work item.  For example, a where clause of a wiql query to retrieve test cases would look as follows:

  WHERE [System.WorkItemType] = 'Test Case' AND [System.TeamProject = @project

 

Therefore, you can use the publishhed apis  or overviews on msdn to move your test cases into TFS.  A quick sample might be as follows:

 

Below is quick sample.

            WorkItemStore store = new WorkItemStore("serverName");

            Project proj = store.Projects["projectName"];

            WorkItemType type = proj.WorkItemTypes["WorkItemType"];

            WorkItem workItem = new WorkItem(type);

            workItem.Title = "title";

            workItem["Field Name"] = "test";

            workItem.Save();

Hi

I don't know about TFS, but you could try through XML. Both Soapui & TD supports exporting to xml files.

 

I'd be very interested in having some info & samples on how you integrated soapui & testdirector.

We're using both tools but have no integration between them at the moment.

Hi,

 

I was just looking for this type of integration and I came across this site:

http://onroad.juvander.fi/Community/blogs/news/archive/2008/02/24/released-tfs-bug-item-synchronizer-1-4-for-quality-center.aspx

 

It's a tool that performs the synching for you, no need to write it yourself.

 

Hope it helps,

Jeroen

sgeethanjali I think you are going to stand more of a chance of getting an answer to this in a QC or other forum, this forum is focussed on Microsoft products.

Answer 9

Hello,
Please check out the first plugin for integration soapUI with HP Quality Center. The plugin allows you to sync test cases with Quality Center and also update test cases in QC. Some of the features are for this plugin are:
* windows installer for easy installation
* ability to export soapui request/response to QC 
* ability to update test case name, test steps status
* soapUI Action (button on project level) to sync with Quality Center.
* some other bug fixes and enhancements

I would really appreciate if your team can register on the website and download the latest trail version of the plugin for testing the functionality. Comprehensive user guide with screen shots can be found on the website.

As always, your comments and suggestions are highly valuable. Please use the forums to suggest new features or bugs.

Sincerely

Set the items in TFS, load the Excel to TFS
