Want to overwrite existing test cases added earlier


Deepak Sharma (1511) | asked Feb 21 '17, 2:07 a.m.

I had difficultly in overwriting existing test cases/test scripts which were added earlier manually in RQM. I want to edit catagories, test steps etc.. in RQM test cases but whenever I'm importing using RQMExcelImporter tool then I doesnot overwrites test cases if those were added to RQM manually.

Please help explain a way to overwrite Test cases, Test script etc..

I'm using following cfg file. Kindly suggest changes required in this..

//Start looking for scripts after row 5
testscript.XLSStartRow=5

// use the data in the first row of a found script's column B
testscript.XLSArtifactID=L
testscript.dc:title=L
testscript.dc:description=M
testscript.alm:owner=B
//testscript.jzalm:state="Ready for review"

// the literal "execution" will be put into the step type tag, so all steps will be of type execution
testscript.steps.type=N
testscript.steps.description=P & " " & image(P)
testscript.steps.title=O
testscript.steps.name=O
testscript.steps.expectedResult=Q & " " & image(Q)
testscript.steps.comment=R
testscript.category term="Test Script Review Status".value=V

// a new script starts when we encounter an empty row
//testscript.XLSDelimeter=\n

// we want to use the data we got for each test script to create a test case
testcase.XLSStartRow=5
testcase.ID=testscript.XLSArtifactID
testcase.dc:title=F
testcase.dc:description=H
//testcase.jzalm:state="Ready to Run"
testcase.weight=A
testcase.estimate=AJ
testcase.priority=G
testcase.alm:owner=B
//testcase.category term=" Product Catalog".value=AL
testcase.category term="Release".value=U
testcase.category term="Features Tested".value=W
testcase.category term="Execution Type".value=I
testcase.category term="Test Type".value=Y
testcase.category term="When to Run".value=AA
testcase.Section("com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=J
testcase.Section("com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePostCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-POST-COND-TITLE")=K
testcase.attachment=S

testsuite.XLSStartRow=5
//testsuite.XLSArtifactID=E
//testsuite.ID=testcase.XLSArtifactID
testsuite.dc:title=E
testsuite.dc:description=E
testsuite.alm:owner=B
testsuite.estimate=AK
testsuite.priority=AC
testsuite.XLSArtifactID=E
testsuite.attachment=AO
testsuite.XLSLink=testcase

Deepak,


While creating test artifact manually using web UI, RQM uses ID in the format of "urn:com.ibm.rqm: <resource type>: (internal ID)" i.e. urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan:2

RQMWordExcel configuration file uses syntax 'XLSArtifactID' to specify the external ID of the artifact. If this external ID of the artifact exists then it will update the artifact otherwise it will create the new artifact. 

In given example above, please check the column which specifies XLSArtifactID, You need to specify these IDs as per the one available in your repository then it will update it else will create new one. 

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mehul

Deepak, 


It should work, could you check log if it captured more details related to failure?
