Selecting automation
To link automations with test cases, select an automation published to Orchestrator. Selecting an Orchestrator automation directly in Test Manager is the recommended method to connect an automation to a test case. Test Manager falls back to automations linked from Studio only if it cannot find an Orchestrator automation, or you have not selected an Orchestrator automation.
- Publish a Studio project to the Tenant Package Feed or to another Orchestrator folder feed.
- Have one of the following roles
assigned to yourself:
- Automation User Orchestrator folder role
- Any default role with administrative privileges
Tip: Primarily, a user requires permissions to edit a test case in order to select an automation directly in Test Manager. Additional useful permissions in this context include having the Automation User role or any role with administrative privileges.For more information on default tenant roles visit Tenant default roles.
To select an automation for a test case, follow these steps:
- Go to the Test Case section of your project.
- Open a test case.
- Select the Automation tab.
- Choose Select Automation.
This action opens the Select Automation right-hand menu.
- From the Package Source
dropdown list, select a feed from the corresponding Orchestrator instance.
This feed should contain the Studio test case you intend to link to the Test Manager test case. The default selection is Tenant Package Feed.
Only folders with their own feeds appear in the Package Source dropdown list. In a folder hierarchy scenario, only the parent folder displays in the dropdown list as all subfolders share the same feed.
Note: The available package feed options are the ones for which you have administrative rights. - After you choose the package feed,
you can select an automation from that location.
The automation name appears under the Test Case Name column, and the published package name appears under the Package column.Note: The Test Case Name column displays the folder to which the automation was published to in Orchestrator, followed by the automation name. For example, if you want to select the
Create Checking Accounttest case that was published from Studio to theAccountsfolder in Orchestrator, the Test Case Name for this automation will beAccounts/Create Checking Account.
- From the Package Source
dropdown list, select a feed from the corresponding Orchestrator instance.
- Select Save to confirm the
changes.
After you select the automation from an Orchestrator package feed, you can check automation details in these fields, under Automation Assigned:
- Package TestCase Name: The
folder to which the automation was published to in Orchestrator, followed by the
automation name:
FolderName/TestCaseName. - Package Name: The name of the package used to publish the chosen automation.
- Package Source: The Orchestrator feed where you published the package.
- Package TestCase Name: The
folder to which the automation was published to in Orchestrator, followed by the
automation name:
To update the automation that you selected from an Orchestrator feed, follow these steps:
- Go to the Test Case section of your project.
- Open a test case.
- Select the Automation tab.
- Choose Update Automation.
This action opens the Select Automation right-hand menu.
- From the Package Source dropdown list, select a feed from the corresponding
Orchestrator instance.
This feed is the one containing the Studio test case that you intend to link with the Test Manager test case.
The default selection is Tenant Package Feed.
Note: The available package feed options are the ones you have administrative rights over. - After you choose the package feed, you can select an automation from that
location.
The automation name appears under Test Case Name, and the published package name under Package.
- From the Package Source dropdown list, select a feed from the corresponding
Orchestrator instance.
- Select Save to confirm the changes.
If you need to transfer your test cases to a different tenant, the Orchestrator automations selected for each test case are preserved when you export and then re-import the test cases in another tenant. For more information on exporting test cases and importing test artefacts, visit Exporting test cases and Import project.
To execute a test set that contains test cases with automations selected from Orchestrator, you can specify the particular package and version to run the test cases. This allows Test Manager to execute test cases linked to automations from several packages within your Orchestrator feeds, using only a selected package and version.
For more information on configuring a specific execution folder and selecting a package and version, visit Configuring test sets for specific execution folders.
