How to export single test cases between different databases [message #875335]

Hi,

I have set up our environment according to what I have read in the forum.
Our enviroment looks like this:
Two databases. One for production (daily builds) and the other one for development of test cases.

The production database will only be used for test runs on Jenkins. The development database will be used for all development/updates of test cases. The two databases are using different projects. The plan was to transfer the test cases from the development database to the production database when they are ready to be run on Jenkins.

But what is the optimal way of transferring test cases between the databases? I haven't found out how to for example export only one test case. It's only possible to export a whole project.

Regards Richard

Hi,

The trick is to use the same project in both - there is no export of single test cases, or merge function. Our setup looks like this:

DEV-DB: Work on Tests : updates, new tests
Once it is "production ready" we export the project and check it into version control
PROD-DB: Is emptied every night (except for the test result summaries) and the projects are imported from version control, then the tests run. (The deletion and import are done via the dbtool).

HTH,
Alex

OK, I understand. However I really miss the functionality of exporting single test cases. Is it in the plans to implement this? There's really no need for merge.
If the test case already exists in the target database you can get the option of overwriting that test case.

Exporting/importing the whole project is not an optimal solution. My feeling is that there has to be a lot of coordination to be sure that the project is "production ready".

Well, there are reasons that make it difficult to import single test cases. There may be incompatible parameters, unresolved component names, unresolved reuses, versioning problems to name a few. Jubula prevents this cases when creating test cases and therefore assumes during further operations that all data is available and valid. If this is not the case all sorts of strange error message will pop-up.

We are evaluating model merging strategies but even if the results are good this will take until Kepler to implement.
