grouping tests to run

I have written scripts across 3 "units" and i need to run them. 



I know how to add test items and then run them but my dilemma comes that i want to only run some tests at a time and other sets at other times. So i want something like 



SmokeTest "abci'

Undo Test "aefghi"

mats group runs "a-i"



Only i will be using test complete, the others will be using testExecute so i am trying to make it easy on them.

 my first attempt i just ended up making 3 files and naming them then having Execute point to the pjs and run. That worked great but i had tons of redundancy between the modules. 



I also tried right clicking on the project in the explorer and adding a new item, but the second item cannot see any of my units in the first one.   I am thinking its something along the lines of //USEUNIT and point to the units in the first project but i am not getting it to play nice with me.  in the end i want it to it to be undo runs:



"Testexecute.exe Collab.pjs UndoUnit /r /e"  



Then at another time SmokeTest runs and so on.

I never want them to all run back to back though, just want to run in random sets but also reuse code to keep down redundancy.

    Hi Mathew,


     


    Do you want to run a group of test items? You can use an approach listed here.

    That was close and got me thinking, i solved it using that info. I made another unit and put the routines i wanted in order i.e.




    //USEUNIT SmokeTestSource


    function RunSmokeTestDev()


    {


      bringToFront()


      testSizing()


      ResizeWindow()


      createSceanrio()


      setViewpoint()


      BasicViewpoint()


      Palette()


      BasicCulture()


      BasicBehavior()


      CultureAttach()


      BehaviorAttach()


      exitCancel()


      exitDontSave()


    }



    I am then making another but it will be 

    function SmokeTestBuild()

    function SmokeTestQA()



    etc



    then from TestExecute i will call



    TestExecute.exe <mypjs> <unit> <routine> 

    that will be decided by the goal at that time. 



    I did a lot of reading past few days and realized i should not have all my main code in my test file jus tthe routines i want bundled to keep it clean. This is my first job that has code beyong general scripting so i have a lot to learn. thank you for link it opened my eyes :)
