Automation with Agilitest
This feature is available only in the Ultimate version of Squash.
Test reference in Squash TM
In order to bind a Squash TM test case to an Agilitest automated test, the content of the Automated test reference field of the Automation block of a test case must have the following format:
[repository]/[script]
with:
-
[repository]: Name of the Git repository. -
[script]: Path and name of the ActionTestScript file, from the root of the project (with the.atsextension).
Focus
The ATS script must be located in src/main/ats/* , as in any regular ATS project architecture.
Nature of the exploitable Squash TM parameters
Here is a table showing the exploitable parameters (these parameters are transmitted as test parameters, see below, Squash TM does not generate global parameters):
| Nature | Key |
|---|---|
| Name of the dataset | DSNAME |
| Dataset parameter | DS_[name] |
| Execution ID | TC_EXECUTION_ID |
| Test case reference | TC_REFERENCE |
| Test case internal UUID | TC_UUID |
| Test case custom field | TC_CUF_[code] |
| Iteration custom field | IT_CUF_[code] |
| Campaign custom field | CPG_CUF_[code] |
| Test suite custom field | TS_CUF_[code] |
Legend:
[code]: Value of the "Code" of a custom field[name]: Name of a datasset
As indicated, Squash TM adds a prefix to the code of the transmitted custom field. Make sure to take it into account.
Availability of the execution ID
TC_EXECUTION_ID is only available with Squash TM 8.0 or later.
Parameters usage
It is possible, when running Agilitest tests, to exploit parameters within it. A parameter can be a test parameter or a global parameter. Squash TM transmits only test parameters. Test parameters and global parameters can be used in the case of a launch from a CI/CD pipeline with the agilitest/params action.
The parameters are available in Agilitest as environment variables and can be retrieved using the $env(parameter_name) function (see the Agilitest documentation). If the same name is used both for a global parameter and a test parameter, the last one is used.
Example
Below is an example of an Agilitest test file and the corresponding Squash TM test case automation:
Supported versions
Squash has been validated with the following versions of Agilitest. More recent versions should work properly.
