Declare tests that depend on other tests

Hi there, We use TestComplete for mobile testing. For our app, we've set up several tests. The thing is, that these tests depend on each other. E. g., we have test A that launches the app and check...

    What we have done in a similar case is create a wrapper test that does nothing but call the other tests in the order we want them.  It makes the log file a little longer but it's a good way to control the test flow.

     

    The other thing you could do is put a call to test A inside test B.  Our "pick the option from the menu" test is called inside every test that needs it.

What scripting language are you using? Isn't this just a function call?

    You can also do,

     

    Ues Functions (Functions return values)

     

    Create your Test A in a function and return value from it when all the statements are execute successfuly. If function return your expected value then start your Test B.  like --

     

    Function fun_TestA()

    ----------------------------------

    -----------------

     

    IF HomePage(First Page) Then

      fun_TestA=True

     

    Else

     

      fun_TestA=False

     

    End Function

     

    Now check in Test B

     

    Function fun_TestB

     

    a = fun_TestA

    IF a = True Then

    ----------TEST B Statements

    ---------------

    ---------------

    Else

     

    Message ("Test A Fail")

    End If

     

    End Function

     

     

    this may help you.
