Before you can use the ICConnect Integration application to integrate your ICDefine test case results with your test management solution, you need to configure some general settings and/or exports settings. These settings are discussed in the following paragraphs.

After completion of the configuration steps, you may continue to Integrate test case results.

From the ICConnect menu, select Configuration. The following page is shown:

The following General Configuration parameters can be set:

• Logfile location - Click to specify the location of the integration logfile.
  
• Export service - Click to show the status of the application service that will handle the export of testcase information.

The ICConnect Export functionality facilitates the export of test case results to any Web service based Test management tool accepting transactions based on the REST (REpresentational State Transfer) API (Application Program Interface). Following examples are based on the defect management tool DefectSuite (see TesterSuite).

From the ICConnect menu choose Exports; this will open the Exports page:

Click Add export to add a new export:

Enter the Name of the Export, e.g. DefectSuite.
Select the Type of the Export; as this example is based on DefectSuite, select the entry Defect suite from the listbox. As a result the page will be expanded with some input fields to enter specific information for this type of export.

Mark the Active select box to allow the export of test case results.
Enter the Username and Password needed to sign on to the DefectSuite Web service.
Enter the Export Format if applicable.
Enter the Return Url, i.e. the Url of the DefectSuite web service.

The final result could look like this:

Click Save to store the export.

Now, either drag and drop this test case into the Reference number field that corresponds with the CitraTest test case name, or drag and drop the individual, selective steps from this test case into the corresponding Reference number fields of the CitraTest Test case Segment names.

Note:

• A test case Reference number can be integrated only once.
• A Reference number cannot be used on both Test case and Segment level.
• Reference id's itself (<suiteid> <testid>) can be entered directly into the Reference number field. E.g. if the <suiteid> is 100 and the <testid> is 12, just enter: 100 12 in the Reference number field concerned.
