Prerequisites

• Windows PowerShell script execution policy must be set to RemoteSigned.
  To do so, launch PowerShell as an administrator and execute following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
  
• Create a Qualitia Offline Suite and the Offline Package.  For more instructions, refer to  Offline Package.

Configuring the Execution Script for Parallel Execution

Anchor
ConfiguringExecutionScript ConfiguringExecutionScript

In every machine where Qualitia client is installed, it contains the execution script at the following location:

%LocalAppData%\QualitiaWDClient\app-x.x.x\Scripts

This execution script has three different files:

• arguments.ps1: To define the locations for the offline package, associated offline suite, and the reports folder.
• master-configs.csv: To define various instances and their associated execution settings.
• test-configs.csv: To map every test case with defined instance.

To configure the execution script for parallel execution:

• Step 1: Open the arguments.ps1 

  Anchor
  arguments.ps1 arguments.ps1

  in a notepad editor.

Perform the following actions:

 Enclose locations in quotation marks (" ").

• Step 2: Open the master-configs.csv file

This file contains all the master list of configurations. A configuration contains configuration name and arguments under this configuration. 

Confignames are different instances of executions to override specific arguments as defined in the associated execution profile.

For example, if you want a test case to execute on Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 76.x, Chrome 81.x, then you can define confignames such as IE_11, Firefox_76, and Chrome_81.

Note: If you do not specify any value to an argument, then test cases are executed as per the associated execution profile.

Arguments can be processed in following two different ways:

• 221643108 
• 221643108 

Both the ways are explained below.

Do one of the following: 

1. Adding All Arguments in a Single Cell

   A single configuration can have multiple arguments and you can create as many configurations as required. All the required parameters should be added in a key=value pair in the arguments column. The key=value pair should be separated by single space.

   For example:

   

2. Adding Keys in the Top Row and Values next to Configname 

   Anchor
   Separate Separate

   
   You can add different columns for each parameter separately. Keys must be added at the top row and values for these keys should be specified next to the configname. 
   For example:
   
    

• Step 3: Open the test-configs.csv file in any CSV supported file such as MS-Excel.

This file specifies the configurations to execute each test case.

You can combine the test cases (from the Suite folder) and the configurations (from the master-configs.csv) to execute test cases accordingly.

1. You must list all the config names from the master-configs.csv in the top column.
2. Enter the test case name and specify which configuration you want to execute the test case with. You can run single test case using multiple configurations.
    Qualitia considers test cases saved in the Suite path mentioned in the 221643108 file only.

Parallel Execution of Test cases using Windows PowerShell 

Anchor
ExecutionofTestcasesusingWindowsPowerShell ExecutionofTestcasesusingWindowsPowerShell

Perform the following steps to perform parallel execution of test cases using Windows PowerShell.

To execute test cases using Windows PowerShell:

1. Launch Windows PowerShell.
2. Enter cd and the location of the execution scripts folder. For example, enter as cd C:\Qualitia\Scripts.
3. Run the following command to start parallel execution for the test cases of the offline suite: 
   .\exec-parallel.ps1

Suite Execution Summary Report

Once the execution is completed, Qualitia generates a high-level summary report for the test cases executed in the specified environments. The suite execution summary report displays the test case names and the number of total passed and failed test cases. You need to click the execution status (Pass/Fail) to view the step-by-step report of test case execution.
