At my previous company we were using TestLink and Test::Unit. I modified Test::Unit to update tests as they were executed (individual classes or methods just needed to include the test id as part of the class or method name). The test would make a call to TestLink as each test result was obtained.
A better way of doing it might be to let the test run to completion and then have a post-processing step that parses the results using regular expressions and then does the update. The advantage to this is if you get a really bad run you don't care about you can just reprocess the results from the previous run. If you care about that. It does look like QC has an API that allows updates. You just need to make sure whatever ID QC is using gets into the results somehow, then use that. It looks like the latest version has a rest api (yay!). Here's the link to that API doc (down at the bottom of the thread) http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Quality-Center-Support-and-News/ALM-11-0-REST-API-reference-guide/td-p/4747218#.UjtMubyraIs ________________________________ From: Dan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 11:42 AM Subject: Re: [wtr-general] Cucumber and Quality Center I should clarify. QC won't be going away. It's going to remain the repository for manual test cases from which we'll create automation. We use watir-webdriver as opposed to QTP in the cases where our tests are browser based. My concern is that if we have the test cases in QC and then we create automated watir test cases using cucumber, that we now essentially have two test cases that need to be maintained. I'm trying to think of a more intelligent way for them to work together.
