2006-11-14	Page created

Known Issues

• Tags <attachment>, <build>, <testenvironment>, <testrun> and <testrunlog> are included in testopia.dtd but not yet implemented.
• The testplan_reference type of Database_description is not yet implemented.

Getting Started

Testopia imports must be run from your Bugzilla home directory using tr_importxml.pl

Types for testplan_reference

• Database_id - The id supplied is the Test Plan number to use.
• Database_description - Not implemented. The summary supplied is used to search for a Test Plan in Testopia with a matching summary.
• Xml_description - The summary supplied is used to find a Test Plan in the current XML import file with a matching summary.

<!DOCTYPE testopia SYSTEM "testopia.dtd">
<testopia version="1.1">
       <testplan author="youremail@company.com" type="System">
               <name>Test Plan Name</name>
               <product>TestProduct</product>

               <action>Action HTML Text</action>
       </testcase>

Complete XML for Test Plan with Test Cases showing dependencies.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE testopia SYSTEM "testopia.dtd">

       </testcase>
</testopia>

Referencing a existing Test Plan

Use a testplan_reference with a type of Database_id for the Test Case. The XML below will create a new Test Case for Test Plan 5.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE testopia SYSTEM "testopia.dtd">
<testopia version="1.1">
       <testcase author="youremail@company.com">
               <summary>Test Case Summary</summary>
               <testplan_reference type="Database_id">5</testplan_reference>
               <defaulttester>testeremail@company.com</defaulttester>
               <action>Action HTML Text</action>
       </testcase>
</testopia>

Using HTML Tags

The Test Plan's document field and Test Case's setup, breakdown, action and expectedresults fields all support using HTML tags. The < and > of the HTML tag must be passed as entities using &testopia_lt; and &testopia_gt;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE testopia SYSTEM "testopia.dtd" [
<!ENTITY testopia_lt "<">
<!ENTITY testopia_gt ">">
]>
<testopia version="1.1">
       <testplan author="youremail@company.com" type="System">
               <name>Test Plan Name using testopia_lt and testopia_gt entities.</name>
               <product>TestProduct</product>
               <productversion>1.0</productversion>
               <editor>editoremail@company.com</editor>
               <document>&testopia_lt;i&testopia_gt;Test Plan HTML Document in italics&testopia_lt;i&testopia_gt;</document>
       </testplan>
       <testcase author="youremail@company.com">
               <summary>Test Case Summary</summary>
               <testplan_reference type="Xml_description">Test Plan Name using testopia_lt and testopia_gt entities.</testplan_reference>
               <defaulttester>testeremail@company.com</defaulttester>
               <action>&testopia_lt;b&testopia_gt;Action HTML Text in bold&testopia_lt;/b&testopia_gt;</action>
       </testcase>
</testopia>
