Shows subject and test name, but all steps are missing

Hi,

I am trying to import a test case written in excel to mercury quality centre 9.0. I have already installed mercury quality center 9.0 microsoft excel add in. I have formatted my test case in excel sheet as given in the help document of mercury quality center 9.0 microsoft excel add in. When i run the export to quality centre macro in excel then i get a success message as " you have successfully exported the microsoft excel worksheet to quality centre". I click finish and then when i verify the exported file in testdirector then it only shows the subject and test name but the all the steps are missing. Do anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

You can refer to "Microsoft Excel 2000 Visual Basic for Applications object model" for a complete listing of Excel methods and properties that can be used within a QuickTest Professional (QTP) script. You can use these Excel object methods within a QTP script to create workbooks, create new sheets, input data, etc.
For a complete listing of Excel object's methods and properties, refer to MSDN Library - Microsoft Excel Object Model ([url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/off2000/html/xltocObjectModelApplication.asp[/url]).
The following is a sub-procedure that uses Excel object methods to output data from a dictionary object to an Excel file. Attached you will find a working example of a QuickTest Professional test that uses the sub-procedure below. The example will retrieve information from a webpage and output it to an Excel file (info.xls) using the ReportInformation sub-procedure.
In order to run the test, unzip the attached file to a temporary folder, and start QTP with web support loaded:
CPT31467.zip
Example:
Sub ReportInformation(dictionary, filename)
' create the Excel object
Set ExcelObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

' add a new Workbooks and a new Sheet
ExcelObj.Workbooks.Add

Set NewSheet = ExcelObj.Sheets.Item(1)
NewSheet.Name = "Page Information"

' loop through all the information in the Dictionary object
' and report it to the Excel sheet
row = 1

For Each key In dictionary.keys
NewSheet.Cells(row,1) = key
NewSheet.Cells(row,2) = dictionary(key)
row = row + 1
Next

' customize the Sheet layout
NewSheet.Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 20
NewSheet.Columns("A:A").Font.Bold = True
NewSheet.Columns("B:B").ColumnWidth = 60
NewSheet.Columns("B:B").HorizontalAlignment = -4108 ' xlCenter

' save the Excel file
ExcelObj.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename

' close the application and clean the object
ExcelObj.Quit
Set ExcelObj = Nothing
End Sub

Hi,

I Guess this is attributed to the reason that you have not created a TestMap which Maps all your Excel fields / Testcase fields to those in TD.

Subject, TestName are Mandatory fields which already are part of Testmap and hence these get reflected. Select each listed field from TD and Map it to the concerned Field in Excel. You would find columns like TestStepDescription, StepName, TestData, ExpectedResults etc displayed in the TestMap.

Save the created Map and you can select the same for all other testcases as well.

Cheers...

Hi,
I guess u hadn't merged the cells Subject.....for example if we have TestName 1 and if it has steps like a,b,c then we need to merge the three rows of Subject and TestName.Then you can give ur stepname,step description,expected results etc.I hope this will help you.

Thanks
