TestLink:

Pre-requisites: You should have TestLink setup up and running with a PROJECT that should have a TEST PLAN, BUILD/RELEASE and some TEST CASES assigned to it.

Note: We will use Project Name, Test Plan Name, Build /Release Name and Test cases ID later while writing selenium script.

Download JAR files: Download testlink-api-client-2.0.zip from Google Code and add the following jar files in your WebDriver java project class path.

‘testlink-api-client-2.0.jar’, ‘xmlrpc-common-3.1.jar’, ’xmlrpc-client-3.1.jar’, ‘ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar’

How to enable Test Automation (API keys):

•          Log In to TestLink using admin user
•          Navigate to Desktop > under ‘Test Project’ > select ‘Test Project Management’
•          Open appropriate Project > click on check box “Enable Test Automation (API keys)” > click on ‘Save’ button.

Generate Personal API access key:

•          Click on link ‘My Settings’ > opens Account Settings
•          API Interface section: Click on ‘Generate a new key’ button > you will get an access key.

      Creating and Implementing Script: Use the below mentioned code but make sure that you make the necessary changes to the file:

Example: Just change Test case ID's as per your test cases.

TestLinkUtils: replace TestLink Server URL, Access key, Project Name, Test Plan Name, Build Name as per your TestLink setup.
