🔑 Prerequisites:
🚀 Let's Get Started with QDS
Imagine you are an automation tester preparing to kick off application testing. The Qualitia Design Studio (QDS) is your go-to for this task. This platform helps to create a scalable, maintainable test automation design. It offers clear traceability from your requirements right through to your automation test cases.
The idea is simple. First, you create manual test cases in the QDS to verify requirements. Then, you synchronize these manual test cases with the Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS), where you develop your automation scripts.
But Before You Dive In...
Keep in mind the following when working with QDS integrated projects:
Only one QAS project can synchronize with one QDS project, and vice-versa.
You can only set up integration with a QDS during the creation of the QDS project.
Make sure your role has the Test Development privilege.
You will find a Requirements screen in the Development section instead of the Test Case Editor screen. This screen is equipped with the features of the Test Case Editor, plus additional capabilities for synchronizing and sharing with the QDS project.
You cannot import tasks from a different project using the Import Task feature.
You cannot create test cases in QAS. You have to create them in QDS first and then Share for Automation. After that, you can edit or delete these test cases.
When creating a new project, all existing objects will be synchronized along with tasks and test cases shared for automation in the QDS. After this, you can only edit or delete objects in the QAS.
Test cases and tasks will only be accessible in the QAS after they have been shared for automation from the QDS.
If you are using Bitbucket (GIT) for version control, first create a project branch in the Bitbucket repository and then set up the project in QAS.
The Nitty-Gritty of QAS Project Synchronization with QDS
Here is how you set up synchronization between a QAS project and a QDS project:
...
Click Next and then select Continue with Integration.
Click Add to add a new row to the list of users.
Double-click the User ID field to select the user.
Double-click the User Role field to assign a role to this user.
Click Next.
Now, you need to fill in your QDS details: enter the
QDS URL
QDS Username and Password
Select a QDS Project to synchronize your project with.
You will see an overview of all relevant project artifacts of the QDS project.
Click Done. Your new project, complete with all project artifacts from the QDS project, is now created.
Importing Test Artifacts from Design Studio
The first-time synchronization of test artifacts happens automatically when you create the QAS project. After this, any modifications to test cases and tasks will only be done in the QAS.
...
After you have done this, all newly added manual objects, tasks, and test cases from QDS will be imported into the QAS.
Updating Manual Test Cases
In order to access manual test cases in the QAS, you need to share them for automation from QDS. Once they have been shared and synchronized, you can then update these test cases:
...
| Note |
|---|
After sharing with QDS, the QAS will lock the test case. You can only unlock it from the QDS. |
Sharing Tasks and Test Cases for Design Updates
Sometimes, manual test cases need design-level updates. In these cases, you can share automated test cases and tasks with the QDS for updates:
...
| Note |
|---|
After you have done this, the tasks and test cases cannot be edited or removed from the QAS. They will also show a lock icon before their names, indicating they have been shared for design updates. |
Sync History
Finally, do not forget to review your sync history. You will find the date and time of each operation, as well as details of the tasks, test cases, and objects that were synchronized.
...
That's it, you are all set. Now go forth and automate!
