QC & QTP How to schedule a recurring test set

Hello,

Thx Joe ;)

But i have the same problem too. “ActiveX component can’t create object” on line “Set Scheduler = theTestSet.StartExecution(“”))

… :S

Benoit.

Hello,

My last comment was moderate about the issue with the ActiveX. Anyway i resolved the problem and i wanted to share with you the solution.
I just run the ALM Client Registration. I’m using ALM 11 so the link is: http://:8080/qcbin/start_a.jsp?common=true. It works fine right after for me.

But, i have an other problem.. I use your code in a VAPI-XP program. And i never get out of the While Loop. The “execstatus.Finished” is always False even after the end of the test. Actually it’s even worse it returns nothing, so i use the code below if i want the executionStatus returns something but it is always False.

(This code below run QTP scripts on a remote virtual machine by the way. This part works fine.)

Set TestSetFact = TDConnection.TestSetFactory
Set tsTreeMgr = TDConnection.TestSetTreeManager

Set TestSetFact = tdc.TestSetFactory
Set tsTreeMgr = tdc.TestSetTreeManager

‘Get the test set folder.
Set tsFolder = tsTreeMgr.NodeByPath(“”)

‘On Error GoTo RunTestSetErr
Set tsList = tsFolder.FindTestSets(“”)
If tsList.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox “FindTestSets found more than one test set: refine search”
ElseIf tsList.Count < 1 Then
MsgBox "FindTestSets: test set not found"
End If

Set theTestSet = tsList.Item(1)

'Start the scheduler on the local machine.
Set Scheduler = theTestSet.StartExecution("")

''''''''''''''''

Set TSTestFact = theTestSet.TSTestFactory
Set tsFilter = TSTestFact.Filter
tsFilter.Filter("TC_CYCLE_ID") = theTestSet.ID
Set testList = TSTestFact.NewList(tsFilter.Text)

'For each test instance, set the host to run depending
'on the planning in the test set.
For Each TSTst In testList
Scheduler.RunOnHost(TSTst.ID) = TSTst.HostName
Next
Scheduler.RunAllLocally = False

''''''''''''''
Scheduler.Run

'set execStatus = Scheduler.ExecutionStatus
'execStatus = Scheduler.ExecutionStatus.Finished
While (RunFinished = False)
'execstatus.RefreshExecStatusInfo “all”,True
'RunFinished = execstatus.Finished
Scheduler.ExecutionStatus.RefreshExecStatusInfo "all", True
RunFinished = Scheduler.ExecutionStatus.Finished

'Set EventsList = execStatus.EventsList
'For Each ExecEventInfoObj In EventsList
' strNowEvent = ExecEventInfoObj.EventType
'TDOutput.Print strNowEvent
'Next

'For i = 1 To execStatus.Count
' Set TestExecStatusObj = execStatus.Item(i)
' intTestID = TestExecStatusObj.TestInstance
'TDOutput.Print intTestID
'Next
Wend

Any help would be very appreciate.
Thank you for your time.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

Running the “ALM Client Registration” solved my problem: http://XXXX/qcbin/start_a.jsp?common=true

Hi Joe,

I’m an novice on using on QC and just trying to install it. After at least one week wrestling with the installation process and getting stuck in multiple integrity issues with my db… now I’m stuck with a jboss integration issue. As jboss zip file coming along with the QC pkg didn’t unpack, I had to do a workaround and point the QC config tool to my own instance jboss which I downloaded myself. I did run the run script for jboss so I could get things going. However, for launching QC I’m still hitting the wall. I get this error: The requested resource (/qcbin/SiteAdmin.jsp) is not available. The QC bin is somehow still stuck in the war file. Any idea? I do appreciate your help. Thanks. Shar

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I’ve been looking for clues and similar problems and even used HP’s self-solve km to look for issues like this. But I’ve not found much. I’m using ALM 11, jboss 5.1 and sql server 2005. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Environment: Windows7 OS

I have been trying tio use the RunTestSet method with no luck.

I have my Run set as:
“C:\Documents and Settings\a641422\Desktop\RunTestSetScheduler\Release\RunTestSet.exe \s:http:\qc-alm.wellsfargo.com\qcbin \n:W_S \d:BS \u:a641400 \p:$Mikie201 \f:O:\QTP Tests \t: 1 – Image Access by ENV-5 \l”

And my Start In set as:
“O:\QTP Tests\NightlyRegressionTesting”

am I missing anything?

Hi Joe,

I created a similar solution for running automated tests (BPT) using QTP11 and QC11 where the user plans tests in QC and they are run on the specified date/time on a specified remote host.
Nevertheless, I do have some trouble with the automatic logon. As you are saying “a registry setting that automatically logs me on to the machine”, I suppose that you have a solution for this problem. Can you specify which regkey you are manipulating?

Thanks!
Johan

Hi,

I am trying something similar for HP Service Test scripts.I need to download the “replay log file” after executing the Test.Please inform how can i download the log file after execution.

Thanks,
Aditya Reddy

hello Joe–thanks for providing this resource! i have been using RunTestSet.exe, but have recently run into an issue where it crashes trying to disconnect from the TD Server.

given that, i’m looking forward to implementing this solution. One thing though, with RunTestSet, i point to a host group so that the tests are spread out to all of my QTP machines. how can i do this with the above example? i see “Scheduler.RunAllLocally = True”, which implies to me there could be a way i could point to a particular host group (?). if that’s the case, could you explain the syntax to achieve that?

much appreciated.

Hi Joe,
I’m able to execute all automated BPT test set in a given test folder.
Thanks for this code.

Hi Joe,
I’m trying to run the script on windows 7 32 bit with QC 9.0.When i run manually from browser my test case is running fine.When I tried use this script It starts the TD test run scheduler but wont execute the test and it stops at that point. Same code is working in Windows XP. Using Msgbox i tried to display testcase ID ,name. Its returning it properly.Its failing at the point of execution. I tried everything mentioned in the site. Still it dint work for me.Its really urgent for me as i wasted 1 week already on troubleshooting this.

Hy Joe,
Any idea on how to also attach the status report?

Thank you ver much for such a great information. Is there any way I can provide specific test names of test set to execute instead of executing whole test set.
Thanks

hi Joe,

After running above steps, my Test Run scheduler is opening but getting error “the requested operation requires elevation”. Tried both the methods, but getting same error in Test Run scheduler. I am using Win 7. Please assist.

Thanks in advance

I have question in QTP n QC…

Scenario: how to run multiple QTP scripts from QC on different remote machines, say for example 100 script in QC test lab, to run on 5 machines, each machine having 20 scripts, while running all at a time from QC, if one of the machine’s h/w got crashed, these scripts are stopped, so at any cost we need to execute them (not manually) those scripts should automatically distribute or run on any available machine.

Plz help me in this

-thanks,
SK

Joe,.

in the meatime I’ve solved the issue.

I had to reregister the HP ALM client from https://xxx/qcbin/start_a.jsp?common=true. I’ve seen this solution here before, but it did not work for me the first time.

But after deleting the client directory at
C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\HP\ALM-Client it was successfully installing the client and registering all DLLs.

All issues gone now. Hope this helps!

hi Joe,

Nice job, I am able to run the whole test set using the above code. But is there a way where we can just run only the failed scripts in a test set and also can we run only few scripts from a give test set. Like only 5 scripts from a test set which as 20 scripts.

thanks,

Joe ,

The script is very helpful to me.But i am very weak at scripting languages.

could you please customize it to me as per my rewuirement..

It will be great help…

Scenerio :

I don’t want execute all tests under the TestSet..

i wan’t to execute selected test under Testset..

Please help me….

Thanks
Nagaraj

Hi Joe,

I have created below .VBS file for QTP11 and QC11. It’s not running the qtp scripts. When I am directly running it from QC it’s running fine. Please have a look and revert.

My test cases automated with ALM with BPT and QTP 11.

The test data was mapped to test resource folder in the form of excel ( Dynamic data in BPT)

when run the test cases from test lab manually means select test cases and click run that moment, while execution it is
picking dynamic data as expected and execution working fine

when run the same test cases through OTA code, while execution it is taking static data instead of dynamic data, but execution working fine.

pl provide solution.

I am using the below code:
set tdc = createobject(“TDApiOle80.TDConnection”)
tdc.InitConnectionEx “http://qcURL/qcbin/”
tdc.login “yourUserName”,”yourPassword”
tdc.Connect “yourDomain”,”yourProject”

Set objShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
Set TSetFact = tdc.TestSetFactory
Set tsTreeMgr = tdc.TestSetTreeManager
Set tsFolder = tsTreeMgr.NodeByPath(“Root\Formal Tests\YourTestDirectory”)
Set tsList = tsFolder.FindTestSets(“Your TestSet name. This is case sensitive!”)

Set theTestSet = tsList.Item(1)
Set Scheduler = theTestSet.StartExecution(“”)
Scheduler.RunAllLocally = True
Scheduler.run

After run the testset form QC , UFT 12.02 is automatically closed.
Is there a option to keep open UFT even after stopped/run the testtset from QC ??

when i try to download Run Test Set I’m getting an error message saying you do not have permissions to download

Can you please help me with that

Thanks,
Saritha

Hi Joe,

Is HP – RunTestSet.exe work with UFT vs ALM11? it is working fine with QTP vs ALM 11.

Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Joe,
I am automating a Desktop Based or Host based application, I am using UFT 14.0 for automation.

I am able to automate most of the application wizards, Basically I use Objectspy to identify the objects and write code accordingly for the required test.

However, When I try the same Objectspy to find objects and automate Installer Part that uses ‘InstallShield” method for installation, Object Spy is able to identify the Objects, But When I Write Code for these objects were not recognized at Run.

Even I tried Record and Play for Installer, It records but during Play Objects were not recognized.

I am Puzzled on what is the problem here?? Can you guide me the Path..

Thanks in Advance. Apppreciate your help.

Thanks,
Chandra
