T-Plan Robot Enterprise v2.3.1
introduced a new mechanism allowing to process comments present in the
main script body and export them to a file and/or display them in the
test result XML. The idea behind this tool is to create test cases from
the script code provided that the comments follow certain rules and
format:
Only comments from the main
script body are collected. Comments inside structured code
blocks such as procedures or 'for' or 'if/else' and comments located in
other files linked through Run
or Include will be
ignored.
Each comment consisting of a number of
subsequent lines will be concatenated into one string and handled as a single comment.
Comments located before the very first
script command are considered to form the test case description.
Comments located after the first script
command will be considered as test
case steps and they will be automatically numbered.
Export of comments to the test result
XML is disabled by default to preserve compatibility with
previous product versions. To enable it go to the Edit->Preferences
window and set on the "Record comments and
create a comment summary" check box in the Enterprise Report
Provider panel. Any test results generated after this update
will display comments both in the Result
Manager window as well in the XML result file (report) displayed in
a web browser. Example screen shots follow.
