robotframework-robotlog2rqm 1.8.1

Imports robot results to IBM Rational Quality Manager (RQM)

RobotLog2RQM Description

The Python package RobotLog2RQM provides ability to import Robot Framework test result as *.xml format file(s) to IBM® Rational® Quality Manager (RQM) for test management.

RobotLog2RQM tool helps to:

• Create all required resources (Test Case Excution Record, Test Case Execution Result, …) for new testcase on RQM.

• Link all testcases to provided testplan.

• Add new test result for existing testcase on RQM.

• Update existing testcase on RQM.

RobotLog2RQM tool is operating system independent and only works with Python 3.

How to install

RobotLog2RQM can be installed in two different ways.

1. Installation via PyPi (recommended for users)

   pip install robotframework-robotlog2rqm

   RobotLog2RQM in PyPi

2. Installation via GitHub (recommended for developers)

   • Clone the robotframework-robotlog2rqm repository to your machine.

     git clone https://github.com/test-fullautomation/robotframework-robotlog2rqm.git

     RobotLog2RQM in GitHub

   • Use the following command to install RobotLog2RQM (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m pip install .

     Or:

     python -m pip install --proxy <proxy> .

     This command will also download and install all dependencies that are required to work with the source files in the current repository. After the initial installation of RobotLog2RQM is done, you have the following two possibilities:

     1. Clean the previous installation:

        python "./cleanup_installation.py"

        cleanup_installation.py explicitly deletes all files and folders within the component installation folder under site-packages and also deletes local build artefacts.

     2. Render the component documentation:

        python "./genpackagedoc.py"

        This would e.g. be required in case of changes in the interface of RobotLog2RQM.

        The documentation is rendered by a separate application called GenPackageDoc, that is part of the build dependencies and runtime dependencies of RobotLog2RQM.

        GenPackageDoc needs to be configured. Details about how to do this, can be found in the README.rst (sections Install dependencies and Configure dependencies).

   • Use the following command to build RobotLog2RQM (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m build .

     Or:

     python -m pip config set global.proxy <proxy>
     python -m build .

After succesful installation, the executable file RobotLog2RQM will be available (under Scripts folder of Python on Windows and ~/.local/bin/ folder on Linux).

In case above location is added to PATH environment variable then you can run it directly as operation system’s command.

How to use

RobotLog2RQM tool requires the Robot Framework output.xml result file(s) which will be imported, RQM information(e.g. host url, project, …) and user credential(user name and password) to interact with RQM resources.

Use below command to get tools’s usage:

RobotLog2RQM -h

The usage should be showed as below:

usage: RobotLog2RQM (RobotXMLResult to RQM importer) [-h] [-v] [--testsuite TESTSUITE] [--recursive]
            [--createmissing] [--updatetestcase] [--dryrun] [--stream STREAM] [--baseline BASELINE]
            resultxmlfile host project user password testplan

RobotLog2RQM imports XML result files (default: output.xml) generated by the
Robot Framework into an IBM Rational Quality Manager.

positional arguments:
resultxmlfile         absolute or relative path to the xml result file
                      or directory of result files to be imported.
host                  RQM host url.
project               project on RQM.
user                  user for RQM login.
password              password for RQM login.
testplan              testplan ID for this execution.

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-v, --version         Version of the RobotLog2RQM importer.
--testsuite TESTSUITE
                        testsuite ID for this execution. If 'new', then create a new
                        testsuite for this execution.
--recursive           if set, then the path is searched recursively for
                      log files to be imported.
--createmissing       if set, then all testcases without tcid are created
                      when importing.
--updatetestcase      if set, then testcase information on RQM will be updated
                      bases on robot testfile.
--dryrun              if set, then verify all input arguments
                      (includes RQM authentication) and show what would be done.
--stream STREAM       project stream. Note, requires Configuration Management (CM)
                      to be enabled for the project area.
--baseline BASELINE   project baseline. Note, requires Configuration Management (CM),
                      or Baselines Only to be enabled for the project area.

The below command is simple usage witth all required arguments to import Robot Framework results into RQM:

RobotLog2RQM <outputfile> <host> <project> <user> <password> <testplan>

Besides the executable file, you can also run tool as a Python module

python -m RobotLog2RQM <outputfile> <host> <project> <user> <password> <testplan>

Example

In order the import the Robot result(s) to RQM, we need the output.xml result file.

So, firstly execute the Robot testcase(s) to get the output.xml result file.

Sample Robot testcase which contains neccessary information for importing into RQM:

*** Settings ***
Metadata   project      ROBFW             # Test Environment
Metadata   version_sw   SW_VERSION_0.1    # Build Record
Metadata   component    Import_Tools      # Component - is used for test case
Metadata   machine      %{COMPUTERNAME}   # Hostname
Metadata   team-area    Internet Team RQM  # team-area (case-sensitive)

*** Test Cases ***
Testcase 01
   [Documentation]   This test is traceable with provided tcid
   [Tags]   TCID-1001   FID-112   FID-111    robotfile-https://github.com/test-fullautomation
   Log      This is Testcase 01

Testcase 02
   [Documentation]  This new testcase will be created if --createmissing argument
               ...  is provided when importing
   [Tags]   FID-113  robotfile-https://github.com/test-fullautomation
   Log      This is Testcase 02

After getting output.xml result file, use below command to import that result file into testplan ID 720 of ROBFW-AIO project which is hosted at https://sample-rqm-host.com

RobotLog2RQM output.xml https://sample-rqm-host.com ROBFW-AIO test_user test_pw 720

Then, open RQM with your favourite browser and you will see that the test case execution records and their results are imported in the given testplan ID.

RQMTool Submodule

The package now includes a submodule RQMTool which provides a standalone CLI to fetch test cases and test suites from IBM RQM test plans.

RQMTool is accessible as a Python module:

python -m RobotLog2RQM.rqmtool --host <RQM_SERVER_URL> --project <PROJECT_AREA> \
                               --user <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> \
                               --testplan <TESTPLAN_ID> [--types <artifact_types>] \
                               [--format <csv|json>] [--output-dir <DIR>] \
                               [--basename <BASENAME>] [--dryrun]

Main features:

• Fetches selected artifact types (testcase or testsuite) from a given test plan.

• Supports CSV or JSON export, with automatic filenames including the test plan ID.

How to use RQMTool

RQMTool requires RQM information (host URL, project, credentials) and a test plan ID. Use the -h argument to see full usage:

python -m RobotLog2RQM.rqmtool -h

This will display all available command line options for RQMTool, such as:

• –types : artifact types to fetch (testcase, testsuite). Default: both.

• –format: output format, either csv or json.

• –output-dir: directory to save exported files.

• –basename: base name for output files.

• –dryrun: validate inputs and RQM login without fetching data.

Example

Fetch all test cases and test suites from test plan ID 720 and export to CSV:

python -m RobotLog2RQM.rqmtool --host https://sample-rqm-host.com \
                               --project ROBFW-AIO \
                               --user test_user \
                               --password test_pw \
                               --testplan 720 \
                               --types testcase,testsuite \
                               --format csv
