I'm using testcomplete Keyword test for a lot of UI test cases. Quite a lot of them has the same steps.
Is there any Macro functionality which can add multiple preset actions/checkpoints easily?
Sure, you can call another keyword test using the Run Keyword Test operation or a script function using the Run Script Routine operation. Both operations allow specifying parameters for a test. Also, you can use the Run Test operation to run any item that can be treated as a separate test (keyword or script test, network suite job or task, a load test).
Moreover, I think that you will find it useful the Data-Driven Testing functionality of TestComplete that allows running a test for every record in a specified data source. Find more information on this feature in the Data-Driven Testing help topic. Videos demonstrating data-driven approach can be found here and here.

I want to create a setup scenario that runs once per test execution, creates dependencies for my tests and saves a reference to them in global properties. I can not find any examples of this.
As a more concrete example I want to load test my comment section. I want to create a single blog post then write a bunch of comments to the same blog post. I want to do these comments concurrently across threads using execution.
For vanilla JMeter you can consider using setUp Thread Group which is designed for implementing the preconditions, the values which you need to define globally can be populated using __setProperty() function to keep them in memory or stored into external file(s) using i.e. Flexible File Writer
Once you come up with a proper JMeter .jmx script you should be able to execute it using Taurus and see real-time results, define pass/fail criteria, etc.
I'm using JMeter for integration and non-regression testing.
The tests are automated and reports are working.
But since it is scenario testing and not performance testing the report doesn't give real business added value for that kind of tests.
My question: Is there any way to have a scenario (transaction controller based)reporting?
For the moment, to have some more meaningful result, transactions controllers and dummy sampler are used.
What we would like to have is the number of success/failure scenarios of the last test run. And also an history of success/failures per test run (1 by day).
Thank you for your advices.
The easiest way of getting the things done is putting your JMeter test under Jenkins orchestration so it will be automatically executed based on a VCS hook or according to the Schedule
Once done you will be able to utilize Jenkins Performance Plugin which adds test results trends charts and ability to mark build as unstable/failed depending on various criteria.
If I am not wrong, you want to create a suite based on particular test cases. like if single case include execution of more than 1 request in a single execution.
If this is the case, you can simple create a test fragment through jmeter gui, and copy all the samplers in single fragment.
Now to control their execution you can use any controller of your choice, i would suggest you to use module controller for http samplers.
I've a requirement to load test a web application using loadRunner(Community edition : 12.53 ). Currently I've my test scripts recorded using loadrunner default test script recorder. I'm assuming that, the operations I chose to perform in SUT should actually update the application backend/DB when I'm executing the test scripts. Is this the correct behavior of a load testing scenario?
When I ran my test scripts, I couldn't see any value or nothing updated in the application DB.
I've my test scripts written in C and also manual correlation is applied using web_reg_save_param method.
What might be the things that could go wrong in such a scenario?. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
the operations I chose to perform in SUT should actually update the application backend/DB when I'm executing the test scripts. Is this the correct behavior of a load testing scenario? - Yes this is the correct behaviour.
When I ran my test scripts, I couldn't see any value or nothing updated in the application DB. - Something you might be missing in the correlations. this generally happens when some variable is not correlated properly or gets missed. Or something like timestamp that you might think is irrelevant but needs to be taken care of.
I have Jasmine tests for a data service that does CRUD operations. There are some functions that are only executed on user actions like add, update or delete data. These functions are marked red by Istanbul which decreases the code coverage.
How should I handle these functions?
Either:
exercise the user actions
manually using a hand-written script so you can reliably repeat it,
add a programmable way for your application to trigger these actions, and then
write unit tests that use the triggers
I much prefer the latter because you can then simply run the tests whenever needed.
In our development environment, we run a Continuous Integration service (TeamCity) which responds to code checkins by running build/test jobs and reporting the results. While the job is in progress, we can easily see how many unit tests have executed so far, how many have failed, etc.
My automated testing team is delivering UI tests developed in Rational Functional Tester. Extracting those tests from the source control system, compiling them, and executing them from the command line all seem to be pretty straight forward exercises.
What I haven't been able to find is a way to report the test results automatically - there don't appear to be any hooks for listeners, for example, or any way to customize the messages that are emitted.
From my research thus far, I've come to the conclusion that my only option is to (a) wait until the tests finish, then (b) parse the HTML report that RFT generates.
Does anybody have a better answer than that?
Here is the workaround I've used for the similar purpose:
Write a helper super class that overwrite the onTerminate callback method, implement your log parsing logics there.
Change the helper super class of your test scripts to the helper super class create in step1.
Use RFT CLI invoke your scripts in your Continous Integration code.
Expanding on #eric2323223, in your onTerminate override, you can use TeamCity's build script interaction functionality to have your RFT pass/fail status rolled up to TeamCity. You just need these TeamCity specific messages emitted to the command line, so that TeamCity picks them up.
##teamcity[testStarted name='test1']
##teamcity[testFailed name='test1' message='failure message' details='message and stack trace']
##teamcity[testFinished name='test1']
##teamcity[testStarted name='test2']
##teamcity[testFailed type='comparisonFailure' name='test2' message='failure message' details='message and stack trace' expected='expected value' actual='actual value']
##teamcity[testFinished name='test2']
