Using ALM parameters to drive QTP - Brian.Osborne - 06-19-2013
So I've got a good suite of automated tests built that can be configured in different ways depending on what I'm doing with them. In one method of using my suite I'm using Parameters to pass some values to the tests from ALM via manual input values.
One reason I'm doing it this way is to allow others that aren't proficient in QTP to build my testing suite for me. They understand the selections better and let's me focus on coding.
Trouble is....
I can't get a 'Description' to show up in ALM. Both in the Test Lab - Test Instance Details - Execution Settings - Automated AND in the Test Plan - Parameters tab, the 'Description' field isn't editable. This sort of makes sense, this is an automated script, it should be set in QTP.
But it is set in QTP. Description in the File - Settings - Parameters and the Action Properties - Parameters both have a description input for the parameters.
The parameters are able to be seen in ALM, but the description is not showing.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Brian
