Details about transforming nodes

Introduction

The transformation mechanism allows you to turn a node into another type, e.g. a 'Sequence' into a 'Procedure' or a 'Test' into a 'Test case'. Such actions could be required for re-factoring purposes or simply to make test development for efficient.

You can transform nodes via a right mouse click and then selecting »Transform node into« and the desired type.

Note QF-Test only shows transformations that are possible in the current context of the test suite, so sometimes you may not see all possible transformations.

Transformation with type changes

The following transformations also change the type of child nodes of the converted nodes:

  1. 'Test set' into 'Test case'
    1. 'Data driver' into disabled 'Sequence'
    2. 'Test case' into 'Test step'
  2. 'Test case' into 'Test set'
    1. All children are packed into a new sub 'Test case' node.
  3. 'Test' into 'Test set' recursive
    1. If there are only 'Data driver' and 'Test' children, the 'Data driver' is turned into a disabled 'Test'.
    2. Otherwise all children are packed into a new sub 'Test case' node.
  4. 'Test' into 'Test case'
    1. 'Data driver' into disabled 'Sequence'

Additional transformations below the 'Extras' node

The following transformations are allowed below the 'Extras' node only:

Transformations without side-effects

  1. 'Sequence' into 'Cleanup'
  2. 'Sequence' into 'Setup'
  3. 'Sequence' into 'Test case'
  4. 'Cleanup' into 'Procedure'
  5. 'Setup' into 'Procedure'
  6. 'Procedure' into 'Sequence'
  7. 'Procedure' into 'Test case'

Transformations with side-effects

The following transformations also change the type of some child nodes:

  1. 'Test set' into 'Package'
    1. 'Cleanup' into disabled 'Procedure'
    2. 'Data driver' into disabled 'Procedure'
    3. 'Dependency reference' into disabled 'Dependency' containing the previous 'Dependency reference'
    4. 'Setup' into disabled 'Procedure'
    5. 'Test' into 'Procedure'
    6. 'Test case' into 'Procedure'
    7. 'Test call' into disabled 'Procedure' containing the 'Test call'
  2. 'Test case' into 'Procedure'
    1. 'Cleanup' into disabled 'Sequence'
    2. 'Dependency' into disabled 'Sequence'
    3. 'Dependency reference' into disabled 'Sequence'
    4. 'Setup' into disabled 'Sequence'
  3. 'Test' into 'Procedure'
    1. 'Data driver' into disabled 'Sequence'
  4. 'Test' into 'Package'
    1. All child nodes are packed into a 'Procedure' node.
  5. 'Test' into 'Sequence'
    1. 'Data driver' into disabled 'Sequence'
  6. 'Package' into 'Test set'
    1. 'Package' into 'Test set'
    2. 'Procedure' into 'Test case'
