Structure

This tool allows to create a test run based on [ Templates ] already defined for every release, and based on that the tool is able to create the appropiate test run by cloning the exiting template and generating a new Test Run that will show the results of the test execution. Tool consist in a python script that can be used for different actions and with different parameters, with a configuration file to get connected to the Testopia DB and then using the Testopia API to perform different actions on the DB.

The structure is as follows:

-> qa-tools/ 
  |-testopia_update.py: Main script 
  |-testopia_update.config : Configuration file with the URL and the login info to the Testopia DB
  |-> testopia_update/
     |- __init__.py
     |-> product/ : This directory contains all the available products used by QA on Testopia                
  |-> External/
     |- testopia.py: This file contains the API that provides methods to work on Testopia DB.
