Hi, First one thing I forgot to mention: I am not sure if you are able to access the webtestoverview.xml file from within the "running" tests... Meaning, it might perhaps not work to make the "last steps" being those who fetch the results from xml and send them to your software. The workaround (if required) would then be to make a separate run of webtest for doing this.
While driving home I figured that there is perhaps a much better (or comfortable) way of achieving what you need. If I understand correctly what Webtest is doing, it uses an XSL-Transformation in the end to create the HTML report from what is collected in the xml files. If this is true, then a (well, more or less) "simple" different XSLT could create a CSV file out of it, right? If that would work, it could ease the processing of the results for external use. Note however that I don't have the faintest clue about XSLT and Java programming... I wonder if someone who does could come up with such a thing... Volunteers, anyone? :) Cheers Thomas Klein Senior Associate, QA | Sapient -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Iain_10 Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 4:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Webtest] WebTest test result after test executed Hi, There is a 1:1 mapping between the test cases and not the test steps so that should be ok. Could you give me an example of how to use VerifyXPath for this case? The external tool is called QaTraq. thanks!
