Import CXTM Test Cases

Now that you have manually added your first test case to your CXTM project, you will import additional test cases from a Template project. As mentioned earlier when introducing CXTM project types, Template Projects are used to store test assets as templates to be imported or cloned into other projects, accelerating the instantiation of new projects.

Step 1 - Navigate to Projects


From your CXTM project's Home page:

  1. Click on the Projects tab in the navigation breadcrumbs


Step 2 - Navigate to Template Projects


From the CXTM Projects page:

  1. Click on the Template Projects button


Step 3 - Navigate to LTROPS-2711 Template Project


From the Template Projects page:

  1. Click on the Tests button associated with the LTROPS-2711 Template Project


Step 4 - Select Test Cases to Import in Your Project


From the LTROPS-2711 Template Project Test Cases page:

  1. Select All the test cases by clicking on the check box to the left of the Menu column header


Step 5 - Launch the Copy Selected Test Cases Wizard


With all of the Test Cases selected:

  1. Click on the Copy Selected Test Cases button to launch the wizard


Step 6 - Select Target Project

In the Clone Selected Test Cases Wizard:

  1. Select your project (LTROPS-2711) from the Target Project dropdown
  2. Leave the New title fields blank/unchanged


Step 7 - Select Additional Test Case Fields to be Copied

In the Clone Selected Test Cases Wizard:

  1. Select the following fields (including Definition and Job Files) to be copied with the Test Cases into your project
  2. Click SUBMIT


Step 8 - Navigate Back to Projects


From the LTROPS-2711 Template Project Test Cases page:

  1. Click on the Projects tab in the navigation breadcrumbs


Step 9 - Navigate Back to Your LTROPS-2711 Project


From the CXTM Projects page:

  1. Click on the Tests button associated with the LTROPS-2711 project


Step 10 - Confirm Test Cases Imported Into Your Project


From your CXTM project's Testcases page:

  1. Confirm that all selected Test Cases have been successfully imported into your project


Step 11 - Navigate Back to Project Home


From your CXTM project's Test Cases page:

  1. Click on the Project LTROPS-2711 button


Step 12 - Review Project Dashboard


From your CXTM project's Home page:

  1. Review the Test Cases by State table and chart

    2. Take a moment to review the tables and charts on your project's home page to see how they have changed since first accessing your project. Now that test cases have been imported, the charts and tables have updated to reflect the state of the test cases (Initial) by Phase (1 and 2), and by Suite (System, OSPF, and BGP). The state is Initial, indicating these test cases have not yet been executed and automatically transitioned to a state of Passed, Failed, etc. Once these test cases have been executed, the status of each executed test case will update automatically on relevant CXTM pages, including the project's Test Cases page and this dashboard. The Phase and Suite values are administratively set based on project requirements.



  2. Review the Test Cases by Phase and State and Test Cases by Suite and State charts


Now, that test cases have been successfully imported into your project, continue to the next section to develop the automation for them.
