Question about including piece of testing code

[veri555999]

Hi, hospital form guy here

Situation: every hospital form has the same header which uses the same piece of code for testing. I currently have 2 form tests written. Problem is, the same code is copy-pasted in both tests. If I want to make changes to the header code, I have to change it in every test, which is not very convenient.

Situation that would be useful:

1. Launch test

2. Test includes the header code and tests it.

3. Test continues running its test-specific code.

 

How could I achieve this? Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Are you using the free Telerik Testing Framework or our commercial Test Studio product?

1. In Test Studio you should put the common steps into a sub test then call it from a parent test using Test-as-step.
2. Using Telerik Testing Framework the principle is the same but you use standard programming methods to create a common method that both tests would call as a subroutine.

Sorry for forgetting to mention. I'm using the TTF with VS2013.

Hi,

In that case option 2 that I previously explained is the route you must take.

Hi again.

So, the shared code has been split into several files and is called when needed.

Case closed!
