Set the global variables

  1. IVCT_CONF to the absolute path of the folder where the IVCTconfig.xml file is located.

  2. IVCT_HOME to the absolute path of the IVCT_Framework folder (inclusive).

  3. IVCT_TS_HOME to the absolute path of the folder where the test suite sources (parent folder of e.g. TS_HelloWorld, TS_NETN_2.0 or TS_RPR_FOM_2.0) are located.

Edit the IVCTconfig.xml file

  1. Set the absolute path of the folders of sutDir and testSuites these can remain where they were extracted from the zip files or be moved to another folder of the file system as desired.

  2. The sutDir contains the SUT folders where the SUT specific files are loaded e.g. the TcParam.json describing the SUT specific values that will be used in the test cases. The IVCT will, when implemented, write the log files and summary reports into the specific SUT\testsuite\log folder.

  3. The testSuites folder contains a IVCTtestsuites.xml file listing the currently valid testsuites. Older or newer testsuites may located in this folder, but are not visible to the IVCT unless included in the IVCTtestsuites.xml file. For each test suite, the badges (test schedules) are located in test suite specific folders.

To add a new test suite to the system

  1. Add the new test suite folder to the IVCT_TS_HOME folder.

  2. Edit the IVCTtestSuites\IVCTtestsuites.xml and add the testSuite name, packageName and tsRunFolder for the new test suite.

  • The name is the folder name of the new test suite.

  • The packageName represents the java package name used by the testsuite. This name is normally supplied by the test suite developer.

  • The tsRunFolder represents the relative path to the bin folder produced by the gradelew installDist command, it is used by the IVCT to change working directory to this value relative to IVCT_TS_HOME. This is necessary to find the correct java jar files for the test suite.

Test Case Parameters

Create the new TcParam.json to describe the test case parameters required for the new test suite. A sample file should be supplied by the test suite developer with each test suite release. The meaning of the parameters in this file must be well documented as to purpose and value range.
