FitNesse and Cucumber support in RQM


Benjamin Chodroff (8985231) | asked Jul 10 '09, 8:00 p.m.
Are there any plans or integrations with FitNesse (acceptance testing vs unit testing) and Cucumber (Behavior driven development testing)?

Benjamin, there are options to start cucumber test using the cmdline interface. It works pretty well! Having the scenarios managed by rtc must give a robust combination. Ive documented my experience on this combination at http://business.vanlint5.nl/html2/cucumber.html

Hi Benjamin,

RQM does not support FitNesse or Cucumber and there are no plans to add support.  As Marc mentioned, you can integrate third-party test execution applications with RQM via the Command Line Adapter (see https://jazz.net/library/article/809).

Paul, I would say, we integrate with it. Oke, there is no specific software in RQM for these tools, but is there a need? Today I would say, no, there is no need. The specifications are managed with RTC and you can start the execution very nicely with RQM. Furthermore we complement the BDD world when it comes to higher levels of requirements, traceability and reporting. So your statement "No support" migh give the impression that both worlds are unable to combine, while we have a nice solution.

By support, I am referring to FitNesse or Cucumber execution adapters.

 Hello, I'm trying to view the link that Marc posted above about how he started cucumber test using the command line interface. However I see that this post is almost 9 years old so it looks like it does not work anymore. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any other updated references related to this subject. Im trying to create an automated testing environment using Cucumber integrated with ETM/RQM and it sounds like that's achievable using CLA. I can't find any good resources online, and Im very new to ETM/RQM so anything can help. Thanks!

https://jazz.net/library/article/809 is still available. I would suggest to start there. The command line adapter works and it is not that complicated. I think the key is to understand that you have to make the location containing the script accessible as a shared location.

Hello, thank you for your response. I've done this before with a simple bat script but never with any other application. The article states that the instructions will invoke the test tool/application. The test tool/application is the .bat file - can it only be a .bat file? If Im integrating cucumber test scripts, do I need to turn those into a .bat file? Thank you.

Why would this even be a concern? If you can call a script, the script can call more tools, script, exe, whatever. Otherwise just try to replace the script with your exe and see what happens.

There is no specific integration adapter. There is no indication that there is no way to create an integration. You can use the command line adapter to create integrations to tools that can be called. 

PS, please consider to ask your own question, instead of answering to a 9 years old question. Thanks!

Thanks. And I did ask my own and no one responded there.
