I have a couple of things I have been trying to work out with no success.
I am using Azure DevOps in the cloud not locally.
Is it possible to simply paste screen captures into Test Case Steps.
When running manual test cases the Runner header displays an icon to Show Description, where do I enter this description in the test case, I have tried the Summary Tab Description with no success.

Andy put me on the right track, I had to extract the process associated with my project then modify the TestCase.xml. I had to change the FieldName from using Microsoft.VSTS.Common.DescriptionHtml to System.Description
Q1: Is it possible to simply paste screen captures into Test Case Steps.
No, copy/paste screen captures is not supported in Test Case Steps, we can only attach the screenshots as attachments.
Q2: Where do I enter this description in the test case, I have tried
the Summary Tab Description with no success.
Yes, you can enter the description in Summary Tab, make sure you have saved the test case after entering the description. Tested on my side and everything works as expected.

I'm trying to use ExtentReport with Cucumber v4. I'm able to generate the execution report at the end of the test case, including the proper step list (for all steps that were executed) with their screenshots.
However, although the screenshots are properly generated, the link that ties the step with its respective screenshot seems to be broken (when clicking on it, nothing happens).
Any ideas of what should I try?
Thanks in advance!
I am trying to figure out how to use the code stage in Blue Prism. I have been trying various simple code snippets, like "Hello World!" and MessageBox.Show() in C#. The check code option shows no errors, but there is an error for the object that says missing link. Can the code stage be used with MessageBox.Show()? Is Blue Prism expecting a link to Decision or Navigate or some other stage?
to run a simple msgbox in BluePrism code stage you need to make sure that three things are present in your Blue Prism object:
add external reference to .dll files
add namespace import
choose language
The same thing has to be done in standard C# programming - in theory we need to to this line of code:
using System.Windows.Forms;
In BluePrism it's hidden in the options of Box on the page "Initialize", with the name of the process name, date of creation, last changed by.
Double click on the object, and the window should appear with the name "Business Object Properties".
Go to the tab "Code options".
You should see the screen with top part called "External Reference" - add there "System.Windows.Forms.dll"
The second part of the screen is called "Namespace Import" - add there "System.Windows.Forms"
Lastly, on the bottom of the screen you can see a combox, where you can choose a language that will be used in this BP Objects. If you'd like to use C#, then that's something you'll have to choose there.
Please see screen below, as I hope it will help you find the necessary things.
Missing link error message indicates that your diagram is missing a link joiner somewhere. If you have a code stage make sure to double check your stage is in fact connected. If you step over a code stage and it is not connected at end point it will execute the code but throw an error saying failed to find link from STAGE NAME etc etc. Most likely some stage you are running does not have the correct link going from it to the next stage. Make sure to click and move your stage as well to double check there is no other stage underneath it or anything by some off chance
We are currently looking at Testrail as an alternative to using the Zephyr plugin within JIRA as Testrail looks to give us better test case and reporting management than Zephyr does.
Currently faced with the usual problem when changing tools of how to migrate our existing test cases from one to the other.
I know there are importer tools to get Excel spreadsheet cases into Testrail, so that is ok.
The problem I'm facing is how to get the test scripts out of Zephyr.
Does anyone know of any similar plugins to export test cases/scripts from Zephyr to Excel?
I've tried using the inbuilt export function, but it only seems to export the basic case details, not the individual test steps.
Any help greatly appreciated.
the inbuilt export definitely exports the test steps. I am looking at my own exported test cases with test steps right now in xls and csv formats
However the export has many many columns, the test step part is easy to miss.
In my XLS the test steps are in columns BF, BG, and BH. Of course yours are likely to be different, I am only giving you those column names as an example of how many columns you will have to scroll past.
XLS: For example test case EX-123 with 4 steps there will 4 rows merged together until the test steps col. So the "key", "Summary" columns will be 4 rows merged together..
CSV: The all the info is on the 1'st row.. and then at the test step column each test step has a row.
Just take a test case you know has steps, and start to scroll right through the columns and you'll see the steps .
Having done some further investigation myself, it appears there are multiple ways to extract parts of the tests from Zephyr.
If you use the 'Search' function to locate a test and then choose to Export via the Export button in the test case frame itself then you get a summary of the test information but WITHOUT the test steps.
If you use the 'Search' function to locate a test and then choose to Export via the Export button in the test case frame itself then you get a summary of the test information but WITHOUT the test steps.
If you use the Export button from the top of the window (there should be 'Share', 'Export' and 'Tools' buttons) you get additional options.
Selecting the option for 'Excel (All fields)' will extract full test case information, including all the fields.
A slightly quicker way to extract them is to Search for executed tests and from the 'Executed Tests Summary', select a test via the checkbox next to the test and select 'Export'.
This gives the option to extract the test information, including test steps, as CSV, XLS, HTML, XML or RSS.
As stated above, this is a large file and the test step information not readily apparent. (My steps were started in column CH!)
It is also worth noting that each line within the test step appears in a different cell, so importing to another tool will definitely require a lot of reformatting of the test step information.
I have one VuGen script(recorded script) which i need to execute with Virtual users. Currently i am able to import it and also found play button (after several attempts). But the problem is where should i need to mention the Virtual user number.
Provide some tutorial/ link for the latest ALM
Have a look at the default edit view for your test, the "Groups and Workload" tab in the Performance Test Designer window.
If you already added your script, you will find an entry for it in the "Groups" grid.
In that grid there's also a column for "Vusers". For yor script the value will be set to 1 by default. If you want to increase that number, just double-click on the grid to edit the value. Suprisingly, you won't that option in the script's Runtime Settings or any other dialog.
Best training site would be youtube :), as for how to add X amount of users, this is done in the controller, there you can schedule when the users start running, if all at once or every 1, 2, 3 minutes etc.
There are also companies that offer training when needed and help you with script development, google for iDeliver inc ;).
when exporting to RTF i get the steps from my use case scenario steps as 1 textline
: 1) some text 2) some other text 3) even other text..
I would like to have this text as a list instead of 1 long sentence with numbers in it. How can i achieve that? I tried to modify the RTF template but is still keeps 1 line in the export.
example
some text
some other text
even other text
I know this isn't exactly what you were after, but with Enterprise Architects Structured Scenarios you can generate internal and external TestCases with the Test description having the format you requested.
When EA generates the test case it will also generate all the test steps for you (and the alternate steps as well), and place them in the Scenario tab in the testing dialog (Alt+3). Keep in mind you will need to have the Use Case selected to show the correct tests.
You can then run the RTF report over these tests and get the correct steps for the report.
I hope this helps
