Projects

From ReadyAPI, you can run only one project at a time, so usually, you select each project in turn and run it manually. To run several projects, you need to call test runners from scripts or command lines. This topic describes how to do this.

Running Projects in Sequence

To run several projects in sequence automatically, you can use the command line with the appropriate test runners:

  • Linux script:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    ./testrunner.sh -sUnitTesting -f Project1-readyapi-project.xml
    ./testrunner.sh -sUnitTesting2 -f Project1-readyapi-project.xml
    ./testrunner.sh -sotherTests -f Project2-readyapi-project.xml
    ./testrunner.sh -sotherTests2 -f Project2-readyapi-project.xml
  • Windows script:

    @echo off
    set READYAPI_HOME=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-
    call %READYAPI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat -sUnitTesting -f Project1-readyapi-project.xml
    call %READYAPI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat -sUnitTesting2 -f Project1-readyapi-project.xml
    call %READYAPI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat -sotherTests -f Project2-readyapi-project.xml
    call %READYAPI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat -sotherTests2 -f Project2-readyapi-project.xml

Running Projects in Parallel

To run several projects in parallel, you need to use a project with the Groovy test step which contains a script that runs other projects.

def project1 = ["$READYAPI_HOME/testrunner.sh","-sServiceAPIs","-j","-f",..].execute()
def project2 = ["$READYAPI_HOME/testrunner.sh","-sServiceAPIs","-j","-f",..].execute()

Note

You need to replace .sh with .bat if you use Windows.

Since the execute() command does not wait for the execution to finish, it is suitable to start multiple processes. To learn more about external process management in Groovy, see its documentation.

Licensing

Fixed license and floating licenses work on physical hardware. Floating licenses are required for headless use with virtual machines and using with Docker containers. Each parallel run requires its own license. You can also execute tests using TestEngine.
