If all you need to be able to do is use the same test case for multiple components, all you have to do is give the component a place-holder name in the test step, then replace it with an assigned component name in the "New Name" column of the Component Names view each time you reference your test case in another case or suite.

If you actually need the component name to come from a parameter (e.g. iterating through values from a data file), then I do not think that Jubula will allow that; it will give you an "Incomplete Object Mapping" error, and not let you run the test, unless all of the component names you use in your test specification ultimately resolve to ones that are assigned to technical names.

If there turns out to be some strange and secret workaround that does make this possible, I hope someone will correct me. Smile

Hey,

I'm sorry for posting at such an old thread, but i have the same problem. I don't understand the solution. How can i set a placeholder in a test case. If I reference this test case in another, there is no possibility to change the Component.

regards,
Sascha
