Test Step Generator

•  For adding steps in Test Step Generator User should add all the commands and Test steps commands that should be executed via ->Test Step Generator tab.
•  Once user clicks on -> Test Step Generator tab then already added commands & Test steps will be visible in UI page.
•  If user wants to add any new command (or) Test step it should be added via Automatics 3.0 then user needs to  click -> Add Configuration button as in the picture as shown below.

Note:- Before adding a new command, user needs to check the command to be added is already exist or not by filtering all the commands displayed using search box. If the command is already existing, then use that command instead creating the same. 

Once the add configuration button is clicked then user will be navigated to the Command Manager page as shown below,

Command name should be meaningful and provided in the command name filed. In Description field user should mention the proper explanation about the command name. User should select the platforms to which the command is applicable. We need to map the command to the corresponding devices RDK-V, RDK-B, RDK-C and Select All. Once done the user can map the multiple devices if the command is applicable for multiple platforms. Validation type needs to be provided based on command name. Expected output or pattern should be correct otherwise Testcase will fail. After entering all the details of the command, need to click on the Action (+) button and Save button should be clicked and command name will be added successfully.

                For API's Explorer we can verify via Environment Type & API Category & Keywords.

     Select appropriate environment (for E.g. select RDKV for Video devices, RDKB for broadband devices and RDKC for Cameras). For API's Category we can verify the category of the API's.

Using Keywords, we can search for (Ex: channel tune) it will expose all channel related API's.

API's can be verified via 

• BTC: Test cases created in Build Test Case page.
• TCG: Test cases created in Test Case Generator page.

Build Test Case

The build test case tab will be as shown below:

For Build test case the Test case Id should be unique and different, and Test Description should be correct way based on the Testcase ID. In Environment Type Field Select appropriate environment (for Eg. select RDKV for Video devices, RDKB for broadband devices and RDKC for Cameras and EXTENDER for Extender devices). Test type and Test Priority should be in the Unique way. Run on models needs to be mentioned like what are all the devices that are applicable for the Test case ID. For each test case id, we need to mention the models that needs to execute. User can verify once whether all the details are valid and then click on the Next button.

 Then user will be navigated to Build your own Test case... page as shown below.

For Build our Own Test case

For Delete Test Case

By clicking the delete icon in Action column in Available test cases table, user can delete the test case. 

Build Test Utility

               Build utility in automatics is creating the frequently used steps as utility. The same utility can be injected in to any other testcases. 
               For example, if 4 steps are used in common for multiple testcases then user can club those steps into a build utility and then user can insert that utility into any other test cases.
               The advantages of build utility are reuse and it decreases the effort for user to create the same steps again and again

Create Test Utility

              Build utility can be created in the same way as build test case.
              User can create build utility by clicking Build Utility tab under settings a shown below,
              Settings --> Build Utility

Steps to include Build Utility in Test cases

             First user should create the repeated steps as utility as shown above.

             Then user can add that utility as a step while creating the test case as shown below,

 If user want to include the utility in test case below steps should be followed,

• • Select command type as USER_DEFINED_UTILITY and then automatically all the build utilities created will be loaded.
  • Then user can select the utility that must be included in the testcase as shown above

Test Constants

               Test constant here in automatics means the command or log file or any string that gets used more frequently is called as a test constant
               We can declare the test constant once and can use the same in multiple places.

              The main advantage of the test constant is it avoids the stabilization effort or test case developer can change the value at one place rather than spending effort on searching all the testcases that uses the string.
              Also, whenever user changes any value of the test constant, it impacts all the testcases that are using that test constant.
              So, while editing test constant one should be very careful as its impact might be huge

Create Test Constant

              Test constant can be created through test constants page under settings tab. Settings →  Test Constants
              User should click on Add Constant button and add the constant name and constant value as shown below.
              Constants name must be unique.

Steps to include Test Constants in Test cases

             To add test constant in test case we need to use {{as the trigger. When user enters {{then all the test constants are listed under as shown below.
             Test constants always starts with TC$ and user can select the test constant as per the requirement

Manage Test Trigger

For Select Service name default it will be Functional Verification if user wants he can select CI verification based on the requirement.Build name should be the same one that is available inside the box details. Endpoint should be either Desk box or Rack device. Partner Test is not the mandatory one.If we want we can select the box and add COMCAST. Test types needs to be selected based on the hours and days execution time. Environment type should be either RDKV,RDKB,RDKC.Is Quick Test required it will selected as a default one . We can disable that if we are not using QT .

Once all the details added successfully User will be navigate to the Following page.

In Automation ID user needs to select the Automation ID . Once the ID selected it will available inside Short-listed Automation Ids. Click on Next button. It will be navigated to the Trigger Execution manually.

For Mac address select check box E.g 00-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx and for good devices click on -> . . It will list the good devices. We can have Schedule trigger option also available, and the time needs to be mentioned. Device Group we can select based on the Automation ID. Build Appender and Notification mail will be mandatory. Source Repo needs to be mentioned based on the repo's available in the repository.Once all the details mentioned user Should click on the Trigger Job button. Once done Trigger will start successfully and via Job manager Tab.
