Hi Marsha_R I watched Exporting TestComplete Tests to QAComplete, but looks like TC doesn't support link automated test itmes to QAComplete test cases that already exist. Our procedure is usually create a test case in QAComplete first, and then follow the test case to create an automated test. So I already have test cases in QAComplete, and I have finished automated them , what I need to do is to link the automated tests to QAComplete test cases. Is there anyway to do that?

    Hi Marsha_R Is there any other article or video that has more detail instuctions? The above 2 articles are too general, I am still not sure how to link automated test item to QAComplete.

      The instructions below are at the link from my last post.  If that's not detailed enough, here's the link to all the QAComplete documentation.  I suggest you begin with the Start Here section.

      How the test automation works

      The test automation mechanism in QAComplete works in the following way:

      1. In your automated testing tool, you create tests that will perform the needed actions to test your application or feature.

      2. You pack the automated test files into a .zip archive. These can be stored in a shared network folder or on a separate website.

        Note: It is also possible to attach files directly to the test item in the Test Library.

      3. You install and configure the Test Agent on the computers that you will use to preform automated tests.

      4. You associate the automated tests with tests in the Test Library.

      5. (Optional) You create schedules to run tests at the time specified.

      6. During the scheduled run time or when you request the test to run, the Test Agent performs the following actions on the host:

        • Connecting to the QAComplete web service;
        • Fetching the automated test files;
        • Launching the testing tool on the host;
        • Performing the test.
        Tip: You can configure the Test Agent to log out of Windows while closing any open applications, then log back in with the specific credentials. It is also possible to check if a user on the host machine is currently logged in to avoid the logout routine.

      7. After the end of the test run, run results will be posted to the test in the Test Library. After that, you can review them using dashboards and reports.
