How does 'Execute and Save Results' work?

Hi All,

We have recently migrated to TestLink 1.8.2. On the Test execution pane, there is a button 'Execute and Save Results'. What does this button do? Currently, when I click on this button, I am just getting a blank page. I guess this is for automated testing, if this is correct, how does this work. Any help with examples is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Gowri

This one is not a new functionality in version 1.8.2, we have this button in earlier version 1.8.1 enabling in config php file.

I am also looking for this option. As I don't have the clear understanding on this function. But I would like to share my findings.

1. This one will be used for the basic automated execution.
2. We can able to run the scripts in Test Server and get the results back into Test Link.
3. We can implement this one using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).
4. We have few client implementations in api folder.

Please share your findings of this functionality.

Regards,
Naveen

Since we have migrated directly from 1.7.4 to 1.8.2 I am not aware of this button available on 1.8.1.

Also, I managed to find out that the button is used for test case automation. But my question is how?

We are using Selenium RC (Ruby) for our automation and TestLink for Test Management. How can I get the result from Selenium RC and post it on TestLink?

Can anyone please let me know pointers/references to examples?
