Generate the test scenarios

Specify the connector package version and generate test scenarios to perform unit and integration testing for your connector. The generated test scenarios are available in the Test Scenarios folder on the Connector Navigator tab.

In the

Connector Progress

view, under

Phase 5: Generate & Run Test Scenarios

, click

Generate Test Scenarios

The image shows the Connector Progress tab with the create test scenarios option.

Specify the connector package version.

The image shows the create test scenarios window.

Ensure that you specify the same version number that you provided in Phase 4 before you generate the connector package.

Click

Finish

A confirmation message appears.

The image shows the Test Scenarios Creation Status window.

Click

On the

Connector Navigator

tab, navigate to the Test Scenarios
folder for the connector.

The following files are generated in the Test Scenarios folder:

Attributes file

TestNG suite file

ctfconfig.xml file

input.properties file

The image shows the test scenarios folder in the connector navigator tab.

The following table describes the files generated in the test scenarios folder:

Files	Description
Attribute File	Generated as com.infa.adapter.<adapter_name>_Attributes.xml in the Test Scenarios folder. It consists of capability attributes such as read, write, and connection attributes. Specify the values for these properties.
TestNG Suite File	Generated as com.infa.adapter.<adapter_name>.xml in the Test Scenarios folder. It consists of test cases generated based on the connector capabilities. The test case parameter values are parameterized. You must specify the actual values for these parameters in each of the test cases before the XML runs. You can perform one of the following actions: Edit the testsuite file to add the actual values for the parameters. Specify the values in the input.properties file.
ctfconfig.xml	File that contains the required entries to run the test cases.
input.properties	Key-value pairs of parameterized entries in the testNG suite file. You must fill the actual values only for the required entries in the file. Do not remove any of the entries in this file.

Open the TestNG Suite file.

A new tag named SANITY is added and the CAT and PAT tags are renamed to UNIT and INTEGRATION respectively. The image shows the tags in the suite file.
