Test Suite feature: looping and stop on failure


James DeVries (1174) | asked Dec 16 '09, 11:39 a.m.
I was wondering if the following is possible with current releases of RQM, if it is something in plan or if I should open an enhancement request.

1. Looping over test cases in a test suite

With automated tests I have situations where I need to run a group of tests for a specific number of iterations.

For example: I have three test cases: A,B,C. I add them to a test suite in that order because the complete test execution requires that they run in order. If I run the test suite once I complete one iteration.

What I'm looking for is a way to tell the test suite to run a specific number of times. I know it would be possible to just repeatedly add the test cases to the test suite (ex: A,B,C,A,B,C...) but a more elegant solution is desired if there is a large number of test cases or iterations needed.


2. Stop on failure when executing a Test Suite in serially

When I run a test suite serially it will continue to run test cases even after a test case fails. I would like to be able to set a parameter that says the suite should stop executing after a test fails. This would be useful in the case where a test case has a dependency on a previous test case passing.


Thanks

Does anyone know the answer to this question? We would also like the option to stop test suite execution if a test case fails. We are currently at RQM version 2.0.1, and I still do not think this is possible. Is there an enhancement request for this?

Thanks,
Madalina

For the enhancement to stop a suite once a test case has failed, please add your comments to enhancement 31791.
