Import Results using Rest API

Working Sample

Please look at Sample projects and Code snippets sections for a more concrete end-to-end example.

1. Use API Key for Importing Results

Please Generate API Key if you don't have one for your selected project.

2. Import test results

The import process is divided into 3 sections.

Get Upload file URL: This API gets all required test automation details from the user and responds with a URL to upload the results.
Upload your test result file to the generated URL: This API is used to upload the automation results file and import test results.
Check Progress: This API is used to check the progress of automation result import.

2.1 Get Upload file URL

This API gets all required test automation details from the user and responds with a URL to upload the results.

URL : https://qtmcloud.qmetry.com/rest/api/automation/importresult

Method : POST

REQUEST HEADER :

Content-Type : application/json

apiKey : {generated-api-key}

Notes

zip file must contain files of the same format given in the 'format' param.
Request must contain json raw body payload, form-data is not supported.

Request Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Default
`format`	string	Yes	Format of result file to be imported. Supported formats: CUCUMBER TESTNG JUNIT QAF HPUFT SPECFLOW	NA
testCycleToReuse	string	No	Issue Key of the test cycle to be reused	NA
environment	string	No	Name of the environment on which the test cycle has to be executed	No Environment
build	string	No	Name of the build for test case execution	Blank
isZip	boolean	No (Yes for QAF)	Pass true for ZIP upload or pass false for single file upload	false
attachFile	boolean	No	Pass true to upload attachments in execution. For more details, Refer to automation help documents. This parameter is supported only for QAF Cucumber	false
fields	JSON	No	Provide additional fields to be added on the test case or test cycle level. Refer to the following table for more. Note : If the cycle is reused, fields of the test cycle will be ignored.	Blank
matchTestSteps	boolean	No	True: Create/Reuse a test case with a summary and test steps that exactly match the automated test case uploaded through the result file. The execution results and other execution details of the test case and steps will be imported from the automation result file. False: When the Test Cycle is not been Reused → Create/Reuse a test case with a summary or test case key that exactly matches the automated test case uploaded through the result file, and exclude matching of test steps. The execution results of the test case will be imported or calculated based on the test case/step results from the automation result file. The execution result of the test case will be propagated to the test steps in the case of test case reuse/creation. Individual test case steps will not be matched and their execution results/details will not be picked from the result file. When the Test Cycle is been Reused → When the Test Case Key is mapped in the result file and the Test Case Key is found linked to the Test Cycle. In a project where propagation is off, the status of the step will not be mapped/changed. The existing linked test case version, which is part of the Test Cycle will be used. If multiple versions of the same test case key are linked to the test cycle, the one which traced first will be used. The test steps will not be matched to create a new version or link a different version. → When the Test Case Key is mapped in the result file and the Test Case Key is not linked to the Test Cycle and the Test Case Key exists in the Test Case Library. The existing latest version of the test case that matches based on the test case summary will be linked to the existing Test Cycle. If there are multiple test cases with the same summary exist, the one that is traced first will be linked to the existing Test Cycle. The test steps will not be matched to create a new version or link a different version. → When the Test Case Key is mapped in the result file and the Test Case Key is not found linked to the Test Cycle and the Test Case Key is not found in the Test Case Library, and the Test Case Summary matches with any existing test cases linked to the Test Cycle. The existing linked Test Case version which is part of the Test Cycle will be used. The test steps will not be matched to create a new version. → The Test Case Key is not mentioned in the result file and the Test Case Summary matches any existing test case that is already linked to the Test Cycle. The existing linked Test Case version which is part of the Test Cycle will be used based on the summary. The test steps will not be matched to create a new version. → When the Test Case Key is mapped in the result file and the Test Case Key does not exist in the Test Cycle OR is Not found in Library and the Test Case Summary also does not match any existing Test case in the Test Cycle and Test Case with the same summary is found in the Test Case Library. The existing latest version of the test case that matches based on the test case summary will be linked to the existing Test Cycle. If there are multiple test cases with the same summary exist, the one that is traced first will be linked to the existing Test Cycle. The test steps will not be matched to create a new version or link a different version. → When the Test Case Key is mapped in the result file and the Test Case Key does not exist in the Test Cycle OR is Not found in the Library and the Test Case Summary also does not match any existing Test case in the Test Cycle OR is not found in the Test Case Library. A new test case without steps will be created and will be linked to the Test Cycle being reused. The execution results of the test case will be imported or calculated based on the test case/step results from the automation result file. The execution result of the test case will be propagated to the test steps in the case of test case reuse/creation. Individual test case steps will not be matched and their execution results/details will not be picked from the result file. In a project where propagation is off, the status of the step will not be mapped or changed.
