This functionality is provided by the automated testing bridge that allows obtaining TestComplete test results to the QAComplete Automation screen.
Starting from the release 9.9.0, this functionality is obsolete and is supported only for backward compatibility.

Use the AutomationTestItems_LoadByCriteria operation to:

Get automation test items that match a specific condition. For example, have a specific test type or created on a specific day.
Get all automation test items in QAComplete projects (if no condition is specified).

The operation can get test items from one or several projects. To specify a project to get test items from, use the ProjId value in the AuthenticationData object in the request body. To get test items from several projects, use the ProjIds value in the AuthenticationData object to specify the list of project IDs.

LoadByCriteria returns results in pages (subsets of data) rather than all at once. Pagination is controlled by the PageSize and PageNumber parameters. For information about working with paginated results, see LoadByCriteria Operations.

You can use the Sorting parameter to sort the automation test items before returning them from QAComplete.

To get just one item, use AutomationTestItems_Load. Also, you can use the AutomationTestItems_LoadByHostName operation to get all automation test items that use the same host.

Requirements

The authenticating user must belong to a user group that has the Read privilege for Automation Test Items.

Parameters

The operation uses the following parameters:

AuthenticationData : AuthenticationData, required

An AuthenticationData object with the login information and the ID of the project (or the list of project IDs) that contains the automation test items.

Condition : string (max 65536 chars)

An XML-formatted string that describes the automation test item you want to get. For the syntax and examples, see Condition Syntax.

If you create SOAP requests manually, place the condition string inside CDATA.

To get all automation test items, use an empty string or a null value.

Sorting : string (max 512 chars)

The order to sort the results before returning them from the web service. For example, by test run ID or number of failed tests. The format is:

Property1 [ASC | DESC ][, Property2 [ASC | DESC ]] [, ...]]]

where property names are those of the AutomationTestItem object. If you omit ASC or DESC after a property name, test runs are sorted in ascending order.

Example values:

AutomationTestItemId

AutomationTestParentId, AutomationTestItemId

DateCreated DESC

To keep the default sort order, use an empty string or a null value.

PageSize : integer, required

Limits the number of automation test items to return in one page. Possible values: 1..200.

The last page may have less items than PageSize. This means the end of the result set.

PageNumber : integer, required

A number starting from 1 that specifies the data page to return in the response. To get all pages, send several requests with increasing PageNumber values. For example, if PageSize is 100, PageNumber of 1 will return items 1..100, PageNumber of 2 – items 101..200 and so on.

If PageNumber exceeds the range, an empty array is returned. If PageNumber is the last page, this page may have less items than PageSize.

Result

An array of AutomationTestItem objects that contain information about automation test items.
