Pre-Requisites

• Windows PowerShell script execution policy must be set to RemoteSigned.
  To do so, You need to launch PowerShell as an administrator and execute the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
  
• Create a Qualitia an Offline Suite package and the Offline PackageSuite.  For more instructionsinstructions on how to create an offline package and offline suite, refer to Offline Package.

Configuring the Execution Script for Parallel Execution

Anchor
ConfiguringExecutionScript ConfiguringExecutionScript

In every Every machine where Qualitia client is installed, it that has Qualitia Client contains the execution script used for parallel executions at the following location:

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

This execution script has the following three different files:

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

• configure their settings.
• test-configs.csv: To map every test case with the defined Confignames.

Configuring the Locations for the Associated Test Artifacts

You need to configure the location for the following test artifacts: 

• Offline Package: The software package that is used to execute the offline suites.
• Offline Suite: The offline copy of a test suite that contains the test cases.
• Reports: The test case execution results which also contains screenshots and the associated logs. 

To configure the location for the associated test artifacts:

1. Open the arguments.ps1 

   Anchor
   arguments.ps1 arguments.ps1

   in a

1. text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++.
2. Enter the required information as shown in the following table.

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

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

Configuring the Confignames 

A Configname is a pre-defined set of configured settings used for a specific execution instance. 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.

76, and Chrome_81.

You can configure the settings of a Configname in one of the following ways:

• Entering all the parameters in the arguments cell

• Entering all the parameters separately in different columns
  
  

  Info
  You need to open a json file of an execution profile located in the Execution Subfolder of offline suite folder. For example for defining a browser, type as BrowserName and browser as explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox.   If you do not specify any value to

• a specific parameter for a configname, then test cases are executed as per the associated execution profile.

Arguments can be processed in the following two different ways:

• Adding all the arguments in the arguments cell
• Adding all the arguments separately in different columns

Both ways are explained below.

Do To configure the Confignames:

1. Open the master-configs.csv file.
2. Enter as configname and arguments in the cells: A1 and B1.
3. To add values for settings of a configname, do one of the following:

1. Adding All the Arguments

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:

Image Removed

Under the arguments column, add all the values of the settings in the key=value format and separate the parameters with a single space as shown in the following screenshot:Image Added

To add all the Parameters Separately in Different Columns   Anchor Separate Separate You need to define columns for each settings. For every confignames, add parameters for each setting. In the top row next to arguments, enter the name settings in each cell as defined in the execution profile json file. For every configname, add values for each setting as shown in the following screenshot: Info If you do not specify any setting, the default is used for execution.  For example: Image Removed Step 3: Open the test-configs.csv file in any CSV supported file such as MS-Excel. value to a specific parameter for a configname, then test cases are executed as per the associated execution profile. Image Added Mapping the Configured Confignames for Test Cases For every test case, you can specify the instances.You can combine the test cases from the Suite folder and the configurations from the masterneed to map with the different Confignames. To map the configured Confignames with Test Cases: Open the test-configs.csv to execute test cases accordingly file. Enter the TestCase_Name in the A1 cell as . Under the TestCase_Name .Enter all the config names from the column, enter every name of test case of the offline suite in the same sequence. Starting from B1, enter all the Confignames in each cell of the top row as you have defined in master-configs.csv in the top row. In the first column, from A2, enter the test case name and enter Y against each Confignnames as For every test case, do the following: Enter Y against the Confignnames that you want to execute. If Enter N against the Confignames that you do not want execution on a Configname, specify as N. Image Removed to execute. The following screenshot shows how to map confignames with test cases. Image Added 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. Info Ensure that you have configured the execution scripts to execute test cases using Windows PowerShell. To execute test cases using Windows PowerShell: Launch Windows PowerShell. Enter cd and the location of the execution scripts folder. For example, enter as cd C:\Qualitia\Scripts. Run the following command to start parallel execution for the test cases of the offline suite:  .\exec-parallel.ps1 Suite Execution Summary Report After the test case execution completes, Qualitia generates a high-level summary report for the test cases executed in the specified environments (Confignames). You need to open the folder as the path specified by you in arguments.ps1. 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 executiontotal passed and failed test cases. You need to click the execution status Pass or Fail to view the test case execution report. Here, Fail denotes the test case execution has failed or it has defects. Also, Not Executed denotes the execution did not start due to some technical reason or you have entered as No for the specific configname, in master-configs.csv. The following screenshot shows how a parallel execution report is displayed. You need to manually update a test case execution result in Real Time Reporting Portal.
