ReadyAPI Composite project. Can it be split by test case or is it only split by test suite?

As title suggests, would it be possible to make a ReadyAPI project where the files are split by test case instead of the default split by test suite?    This is so two people could work simultaneou...

    As far as I am aware, there is no way to customize how a "Composite Project" splits an XML file into different folders and files. It'll split into folders per test suite, and then each test suite will have its test cases in separate XML files.

     

    So two users could work within the same test suite, but NOT the same test case, as they'd be touching the same base level XML file.

     

    If I understand what you want, you'd want to split this at the test case level, which is inherently already done. Each test case in its separate XML file, but split into different folders per which Test Suite it lives in. Does that help?

Hello Richie, thanks for your explanation, it is good but this is not exactly the answer to my question though so I would like some clarification if you can.

 

When I update a normal readyAPI project into a composite project, it splits up the xml file into smaller files by Test Suite. Based on how you described it, if two people can work on two test cases WITHIN the same suite, then I guess there would be an option to also split it by Test Case.

 

Could you confirm if that is true and how could I split a readyAPI project into a composite project by Test Case instead of Test Suite?

 

Thanks!
