QMetry Automation Workflow before till 8.4.2

1. Setup your Automation Project on the same machine as the QMetry Agent.
2. Create a test suite with type "Automated" and enter the details : Automation Framework, Build Framework, Project Path, Result File Path of your automation project.
3. Schedule the test suite with the automation agent.
4. The automation agent would trigger the automation and at the end, will pickup the generated result files, and automatically import them into QMetry Test Suite, by linking the test cases and their statuses as found in the result file.
5. In the above case, automation agent has to be triggered from the test suite, and is tightly coupled with test suite and certain build tools and frameworks.

QMetry Automation Workflow with 8.4.2 and above

1. Setup your Automation Project on the same machine as the QMetry Agent.
2. Directly run your automated project from Automation > Automation Agent > Registered Agents by scheduling your automation.
3. While scheduling the automation execution you can directly specify your custom commands (like mvn test, mvn install, or any other framework spcific commands) regardless of your automation and build frameworks - with an added ability to set recurrence of test executions.
4. The result files will get generated as per your automation project.
5. Results need to pushed by coding using various methodologies like QMetry Result Push API, Jenkins, Maven, other CI/CD tools.
6. Test Cases, Test Suites and Test Executions are created as per the result file. Existing test suites can be reused using the key.
7. You can no longer create any automated test suite (manually). Test executions are differentiated as Automated/Manual. Test suites are no more differentiated as automated or manual.
