fitnesse test framework, arbitrary properties for test and queries/test runs based on them?
- by Marcel
hi,
our testers have the requirement to store multiple properties for a test that are not present in the "properties".
e.g. they want to store priority, a description(not in the wiki page itself) and so on. they don't want to use the tagging mechanism.
is there a way to store any kind of new xml node in the properties.xml for a test? these properties should then be used to:
query the fields via the search screen
run tests based on the "SuiteResponder" ?suite=xxx&TAGx=abc&TAGy=cde
they should be returned by "?properties" responder.
they should appear in the test history of the test run
in essence they want to store any kind of "meta" information in the properties.xml and work with them in all kinds of ways, search, run etc.
does anybody here know if there is already something available in that direction? if not i think we have to "pimp" these features into fitnesse to make our testers happy.
thanks a lot
any help appreciated
