Versioning Tests [message #688298]

I know that Jubula is built in to Eclipse for Testers. We do a lot of coding using Eclipse and we version all of our code with a CVS Repository. Is there a way to version tests using a CVS repository? I saw that you can version projects using Test/Create new version, but we really need to version individual tests not projects as many developers/testers will be working on the tests simultaneously. Thanks.

Jubula supports concurrent modifications in the database as soon as you are using a "real" database instead of the embedded H2 DB. You have to install the additional DB drivers to do this (see "Additional Software" on the download page.

If this doesn't help you might consider splitting your tests in several projects (one for each group of testers working closely together) and reuse the projects for an overall test scenario. This works well for us and some users with similar requirements. (And it's a supported and recommended best practice with Jubula).

You may also export the projects to XML files and store them in your SCM. Be aware that there is no easy merge support for this approach. We are doing this to keep test scenarios in sync with the source code for nightly regression tests.

Based on http: //devnotesblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/automating-eclipse-jubula-tests-with-jenkins/ the idea with build server integration is to:
0. export and commit specific versions of test projects into a repository
1. let the ci-server check out the version of the test project matching the current product version
2. let the ci-server use dbtool to import the test project into a database
3. let the ci-server use testexec to execute a test suite defined in the project (will start the aut given on cmdline)

Correct?

That's how we do our nightly tests and it works very well. Of course one could just use a project stored in a DB but this would make it very cumbersome to keep the tests and the software in sync (assuming that the AUT is build every night from the sources in the repo).
