overwrite option when importing tests

this would be handy if a change in all tests is made. now we have to delete all tests before importing or afterwards (double tests for a while) (overwrite/overwrite all)

Yes, we plan to improve import function. Also we want to add command that will create folder, etc. Probably in a few versions..

Yes, we would also like this.

Also, in Replicator, it would be wonderful if it 'replicate and update'

For example, when we define tests, we make extensive use of the Comment fields (%CommentLine1% = Friendly Host Name, %CommentLine2%=Email subject line for alerts, etc)

We include the 'Friendly Name' in the test name rather than IP because I'm the only one around here who thinks in IP addresses.

Also, our RMAgents use 'friendly names' instead of IPs

So, when we duplicate a set of tests, we would like to first dupe on IP address, then update the generated replicas with a list of RMAgent names, and then update with a list of 'friendly names'. Only the first pass through would create replicas, the subsequent passes would update other information in the (already generated) replicas.

Sorry, I am not sure I understand... I know you are right but I do not understand

Lets say we have test that checks some server:

Code: Select all

Method  = Tcp
RMAgent = agent on myserver
Title   = www.myserver.net
Comment = check myserver
Host    = 192.168.1.100
Port    = 80
Timeout = 5000

Title, Comment, and RMAgent fields do not contain IP address.
You start replicator to create 20 tests for 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.120. Right?
Now you want to replace "agent on myserver", "check myserver", and "www.myserver.net" for each test. Right?
But where you get values for this replacement?
