Test Cases and Test Runs with Parameters

Execute Parameters with TestPad:

  1. When you have selected values for all parameters, save and reload the Test Run page so you can see the Run and Quick Run buttons.

Parameterization Settings

You will not be able to create or execute Test Runs if the associated parameters are not assigned to your qTest Manager project in qTest Parameters.

In the cases shown below, your parameters must be automatically assigned to qTest Manager projects so your Test Runs are executable:

  • Copy Test Cases or Test Steps from project P1 to project P2: If the parameters in the source Test Case are not assigned to P2, you may not be able to create Test Runs from the destination Test Case in P2.

  • Create Test Runs in project P2 from a shared Test Case in project P1: If the parameters in the Test Cases are not assigned to P2, the Test Runs may be unexecutable in P2.

qTest Manager provides these options under your project settings; they are enabled by default. If you disable these options, you will need to manually correct your parameters in qTest Parameters.

To access to Parameterization Settings:

  1. Click the Gear icon on the top left corner.

  2. Select the Test Settings option.

  3. Under Parameterization Settings, you can change the feature's activation status and select these two options to Allow parameters from this project to be used in any destination project:

    • For test cases copied from this project

    • For test cases shared from this project

  4. The activation status is ON and the two options are selected by default. If you plan to not use parameters in your project, it is recommended to switch it off.
