RQMExcelWordImporter Failing to Link Test Scripts to Cases
Hi,
I'm getting an issue whereby the Importer plugin doesn't automatically link test scripts to test cases during the Export/ Import process. Even though both the test case and the test script are imported successfully, the user has to find and manually link the script to the case, which is a time consuming process if there are many test cases to import. The odd thing is that this issue seems to be intermittent, and for the life of me I can't figure out what the circumstances are in which it happens. Sometimes the link occurs automatically, and sometimes it doesn't, but I can't find any pattern to it. Has anybody else come across this issue, and can anyone suggest a resolution? Many thanks! The content of my configuration file is as follows: **************************************************** //Test Script testscript.XLSStartRow=10 testscript.dc:title=A1 testscript.scripttype="Manual" testscript.steps.type="execution" testscript.steps.description=A testscript.steps.expectedResult=B testscript.XLSDelimeter=\n testscript.dc:description=A2 testscript.alm:state="Approved" //Test Case testcase.dc:title=A1 testcase.dc:description=A2 testcase.alm:state="Approved" // Categories testcase.category term="Release".value=A4 testcase.category term="Test Stage".value=A5 testcase.category term="Test Type".value=A6 testcase.category term="Test Area".value=A7 testcase.category term="Priority".value=A8 testcase.XLSLink=testscript testcase.weight = A3 //Preconditions testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=A9 ****************************************************** |

Bumping this to ask the question a different way - are other users finding that the linking of test cases and scripts during import works flawlessly every time? :?

Bumping this to ask the question a different way - are other users finding that the linking of test cases and scripts during import works flawlessly every time? :? To answer your question--not flawlessly at first, but eventually it worked. As we were getting RQM up and running we were having issues with the RMT2RQM import utility keeping those links (we were coming from CQ/RMT). Though not the same utility you are using, the problems were making sure the importer was synched properly with the installed version of RQM...all the way down to iFixes and build numbers. We had to go through a number of iterations with Rational support before we got a build which worked properly with our installed RQM. At that time, those eventually turned into what was released with RQM 2.0.0.1 iFix3. All I can say is make sure you've got the latest versions of the plugins, and then get specific with those version numbers when asking for help. |
Have you tried commenting out the "state." I have a similar config file but when I enter the state for the test script I get import errors.

Hi, when you export to file rather than to RQM and view the xml produced in one of the testcases do you see lines that say <testscript>? If so than it is creating links, just incorrect links. If not then it is indeed not creating the links which is what "testcase.XLSLink=testscript" is expected to do.

Hi, I am having the same problem.
I "exported to file" to see if the links were being created but wrong and they are not created at all. The Test Case does link to the Test Plan but the Test Script doesn't link to the Test Case. Please find below my cfg file. I've been looking around in the forums but I haven't found what I'm doing wrong. If you could help me see my mistake, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! //--- Test Script--- testscript.XLSStartRow=5 testscript.dc:title=D testscript.dc:description=E testscript.steps.type="execution" testscript.steps.title=H testscript.steps.description=I testscript.steps.expectedResult=J testscript.XLSDelimeter=\n //--- Test Case--- testcase.dc:title=B5 testcase.alm:state="com.ibm.rqm.planning.common.underreview" testcase.dc:description=B5 testcase.XLSLink=testscript //--- Test Plan--- testplan.dc:title=C1 testplan.dc:description=C1 testplan.XLSLink=testcase |
Hi, I am having the same problem. I don't know if it was an error but I found a solution. I moved the testcase.XLSLink=testscript after the Delimeter part for Scripts. ****************************************************** ... testscript.XLSDelimeter=\n testcase.XLSLink=testscript //--- Test Case--- testcase.dc:title=B5 testcase.alm:state="com.ibm.rqm.planning.common.underreview" testcase.dc:description=B5 //testcase.XLSLink=testscript ORIGINALLY HERE ... |
