R: [Webtest] Passing custom properties to WebTest report file (xml)

[Vito Caleandro]

Hi Marc,
thank you for your kind reply; in effect I am looking for satisfy this need:
suppose I have to trace some "quality" of a test run, such as a sort of
scenario characteristics like the type of deployment or software packaging
or the name of test supervisor or any other property that I had in mind.
Suppose that I want to record those informations setting some properties in
the ant script.
How can I let them to migrate toward the xml report file so that I can
manipulate them with the xslt transformations and then see them in the html
report?
I am still doing some advanced experiments with the tool, I think it is very
useful end effective. Actually I already use the string concatenation for
the <testspecname>  but this method seems to have a too little power, seems
too poor.
I hope that my explanation is better this time, (pardon my poor english!).
Thanks,
Vito

I'm not sure to fully understand the question. If you just want to display a
property, you can do something like:

<webtest name="Test for ${myAntProperty}">
...
</webtest>

and you will see the value of the myAntProperty in the report as part of the
name of the test.

If you search for something like:

<webtest name="Test for bug 123">
   <bugReportUrl>http://my.trackingSystem/viewBug?id=123</bugReport>
...
</webtest>

to be able to transform it with the xslt to display it for instance as link
in the html page, then it's not possible
currently. I want to add something in this direction since a long time but
didn't found time to realize it until now.

Marc.
