Hi,
I'm developping a Test Case that require a lot of snapshots of HTML content to use content validation. This of course means that all of the HTML code shows in the "Response" window. I'm interrested in getting this in the Test Case, but not really in the Test Report. So my question is: is it possible to disable the display of the Responses in the Reports?
If you're converting your Test Reports to HTML, you can modify the XSLT to remove the reponses or the entire step when the action is "snapshot". This would then produce an HTML version of the test report without the snapshots. There is not a step property that omits the snapshots in the XML version of the test report in iTest 3.4.x.
Assuming the snapshot action is a debugging step, another option would be to use a parameter and only snapshot the page when in a certain mode. For example, use a parameter such as "takeSnapshot" then embed the snapshot action in an If-Then statement. The psuedo code would look something like:
if ( takeSnapshot )
then
snapshot
Then if you set the parameter to 1 prior to execution, the snapshot will be taken. If the parameter is 0, you'll skip the snapshot option.
I need the snapshot for visual confirmation of the webpage (GUI testing), as well as to parse the HTML code. It would be a nice feature to have in the report, this way in case of error we could get the Reponse/HTML, otherwise just a screenshot.
You should be able to do that in XSL as well. If you see an error execution issue for the step, you can add the response data to the report - otherwise simply the screenshot. If you are not familiar with XSL, there might be consulting companies/contractors who can do this customization work for you.
