Rules for XML file
While creating XML file following point must be considered
- XML format should be in tree structure. It should start with Sections, test cases and Sub-section.
- The XML format would be look like as following
<section>
<name>Login Functionality<name>
<description>All test case related to login functionality. Positive and negative test cases</description>
<case>
<id>C2</id>
<title>Correct Username and Passwordcombination</title>
<template>Test Case (Text)<template>
<type>Other<type>
<priority>Medium<priority>
<estimate/>
<references/>
<custom>
<preconds>Login page should display</preconds>
<steps>1. Enter correct username 2.enter correct password</steps>
<expected>Usershould able to login successfully.</expected>
</custom>
</case>
</section>
- The <case> tag supports all properties of a test case in TestRail such as the title, estimate, priority, text fields, pre-conditions, steps, expected result etc
- Custom fields are grouped under <custom> tag.
- The following table lists the import formats for the various custom field types
