Sorting Test Suites in RPE


Jessica Hutchinson (113) | asked Nov 10 '20, 1:59 p.m.

 Exporting Test Suites and their associated content using a test plan number but the export order of the suites seem to be random. Does anyone know what it's basing this sorting order from and how to override that order? Exporting from QM using RPE.

You cannot add an elevated attribute (Special Attrbute) at feed/entry/content/testsuite for testplan/@href or testplan/id.

Hence you need to use fields filtering capability provided by RQM's reportable API:
First add the query feed/entry/content/testplan, sorted by feed/entry/content/testplan/webId.
Add a Data Source Configuration element for TestSuiteFeed data source. Set its URS as following:
var pos=identifier.indexOf(/testplan/);
var configURI=identifier.substring(0,pos);
configURI=configURI + "/testsuite?fields=feed/entry/content/testsuite[testplan/@href='" + identifier + "']/*"
configURI;

Now if you use feed/entry/content/testsuite query (from TestSuiteFeed data source), the test suites are sorted by testplan number (webId).

We only have one test plan number so we are not really sorting the test plan - just the suites under it.
