Hi all,
I am investigating how to use python 2.3 (package = SOAPpy) to interface with the QATraq API on my hosted QATraq instance. The first request I am attempting to perform is 'updateTestResult'. Has anybody implemented this in their test infrastructure?

I would also be interested in hearing how the API is being used by other users, i.e. what languages are being used to create clients and what request types are being used (insertTestScript, updateTestResult etc).

Has any user implemented a fully automated test infrastructure with QATraq fully integrated?

Thanks in advance,
Fergal.

An update on my use of the API. I now have a large automated test suite performing tests and writing test results directly to QATraq, it's very useful and equally visually impressive. Python support for SOAP did not compare to PERL support for SOAP and I ran into problem after problem, therefore I used PERL instead. I am using the SOAP::Lite package and the following sample code will get you started writing test results to QATraq in PERL. Code efficiency may not be too impressive but this does work for me in a critical environment. Also includes a nice piece of code that emails you on a failure with appropriate parameters. Hope it helps someone.

.....
if (...whatever test condition...)
{
$res = "Pass";
&writeResult($TC_NAME,$TS_ID1,$ProdVer1,$PlatName1,$OSName1,$res);
}
else
{
$res = "Fail";
&writeResult($TC_NAME,$TS_ID1,$ProdVer1,$PlatName1,$OSName1,$res);

# Configure smtp server
MIME::Lite->send ("smtp", "AAA.BBB.C.DD");
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
(
From => 'abc@defg.com',
To => 'abc@defg.com',
Subject => "$App_ID1-Test Failure",
Data =>
"$App_ID1,$TS_ID1,$TC_NAME,$ProdVer1,$PlatName1,$OSName1\n",
);
$msg->send ();
}
.....

sub writeResult
{
require Api;
my $WSDL = "file:///apiManager.wsdl";
my $URI = "http://schema.example.com";
my $PROXY = "https://abc.traqhost.com/api.php?class=apiManager";
my $api = Api->new($WSDL, $URI, $PROXY);

$get=1;

$api->reset_params;
$api->add_param("APIID", "api001");
$api->add_param("Username", "uname");
$api->add_param("Password", "pwd");
$api ->add_param("TestScriptID", $TS_ID1);
$api ->add_param("TestCaseID", $TC_NAME);
$api ->add_param("ResultCategoryName", $res);
$api ->add_param("TestDate", "");
$api ->add_param("ProductVersionName", $ProdVer1);
$api ->add_param("PlatformName", $PlatName1);
$api ->add_param("OsName", $OSName1);
$api ->add_param("TesterName", "admin");
$api ->add_param("ResultsSourceName", "API");
$api ->add_param("Comments", "");
$api ->add_param("CalcActTime", "00:00:10");
sub SOAP::Serializer::as_updateTestResultReq
{$api->serializer(@_);}
if ($get == 1)
{
my $Script = $api->call(updateTestResult, updateTestResultReq);
print "\n Update Test Result:\n\n".Dumper($Script);
}
}
