What are the APIs to use for running tests?

Post by Mamta »

Hi,

We currently use Test Link to store our test cases. We have a source control where actual test code resides. Our base is JUnit. We do have scripts to run/execute test cases. I need help to find out:
1. Test link has an API which allows us to call the script we use to execute test cases.
2. If yes, what format we should use to log our test results, so, Test Link can parse it and store the results.
3. After, how can we retrive the run result report pro grammatically?

Please help. Thanks.
Mamta.

I think you might find what you are looking for in the TestLink API forum.

The way it works is that you put a bit of code in the test script and it writes the results of the test execution to TestLink via the API. It happens in real time.

I'm not sure what you mean by "...run result report pro grammatically?" Are you trying to get an existing report to run after a test run? Do you want to get the results somewhere else?
