How to data loop at parent test case level [message #1705199]

Hi,

I am trying to look for a way to loop through my test cases at parent test cases level using data sets. I am having a parent test case where I am referring to two other test cases. These two child test cases have reference parameters and the data is defined in a Central Data Set. However, when I create multiple data items within this Data set, and start test execution. The looping happens at each child test case level. i.e. the first test case loops as many number of times as the data items and then the second test case. Instead I want the looping to happen at the parent test case level. i.e. the first test case run with the first data items and then the second test case run with the same item and then both run sequentially for the second data item etc.

I am not sure how to achieve this. I tried to go through the documentation but I didn't seem to find anything related to this, unless I missed something.
Can someone help me with this?

Thanks
Shyam

Hi,

have you tried to parametrize the used Parameters up to the parent TC?

[+] Parent-TC (PARAM1, PARAM2)
[+] Child-TC1 (=PARAM1)
[+] Child-TC2 (=PARAM2)

Thanks Oliver,
I think I observed two things. If the child test case is a test case referenced by refactoring steps from parent test case itself, then parameterizing up to the parent is working.
However, for two other child test cases, where I referenced them manually in the parent test case, it didn't work.
Anyway will try this a little more to get a clear idea.

I have one more question not really related to this topic. Is there a way, we can save a variable stored in a previous step to an external file say txt, csv or excel file?

Regards
Shyam

Hi Shyam,

regarding your last question:
Have you tried to use ub_app_storeValue?

Hi Oliver,

I am not sure about how to use ub_app_storeValue.
I am basically working on writing these tests on ITE and I know and used Store Value in Application context as well as in a Table context. However, that only stores it to a variable. I would be fine if I know some way to dump the variable value to a file (txt or csv or excel).
Is the ub_app_storeValue that you are referring to related to writing tests using API in Java?

Regards
Shyam

Hi Shyam,

maybe you can find a way to do this by using the modules ub_app_storeValue (to store a certain value e.g. given in a table in a variable) in combination with ub_app_executeExternalCommand
