Getting Started

QualiPy is a framework designed to augment the automated testing process. Automated testing frameworks handle reading the feature files and running the tests. QualiPy handles getting the feature files to the correct location for execution and uploading the test results to a project management suite (such as JIRA).

Initial Setup

In order to test using JIRA, you must have a running JIRA instance. QualiPy will run without project management software.

  1. Create a test project that uses behave to run tests from feature files

  2. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional)

  3. Install QualiPy (pip install qualipy)

  4. Execute QualiPy (python -m qualipy)

QualiPy looks for qualipy.yaml in the current directory. If that is not found, then default configuration settings are used. Additionally, other YAML config files can be used by including the ‐‐config-file command line argument.

QualiPy assumes that the feature files are located in the features directory in the current working directory. This can be changed with the ‐‐features-dir command line argument.

Command Line Arguments

  • ‐‐config-file <path to file>settings

    • The path to the YAML file that contains the configuration settings (see )

    • Default: ./qualipy.yaml

    • If no config file is available, QualiPy will run with default settings

  • ‐‐features-dir <path to folder>

    • The path to the folder containing the feature files for the project

    • Default: ./features

  • ‐‐output-dir <path to folder>

    • The location in which output files will be saved

    • Default: ./qualipy_output
