4.6.2 RDA module, filter Scripts by Variables

Abbreviations, used in manual:

QG - Quality Gates

EF - Execution Flow

RDA - Reference Data Admin

This advanced functionality allows seamless integration between the RDA and QG modules. It enables implementing a QG entity (EFs, Tests, ...) from the RDA module through a Script that could be triggered by specific Variable(s).

Please ensure the steps are followed in the exact order described

1. Create a Variable in QG module:
Begin by creating a variable in the QG module to hold the required values. This variable will later be utilized to filter the results of the QG test. Please refer detailed manual: https://quilliup.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017605800-2-2-1-2-0-Variables

2. Assign the Variable to a Test in QG Module:
When creating a new test in the QG module, use the newly created variable in the test's data set.
This ensures that the test will use the values from the variable during execution.

 

3. Create a Script in the RDA Designer Module (RDAD):

• In the RDA Designer (RDAD) module, navigate to the specific Project and go to the Scripts section.
• Create a new Script of type "Command Line" or "run_qp command".
  Please refer related manual Scripts
• Mark the checkbox for "Use Form Variables" to enable the use of the variable created in the QG module.
• Insert the appropriate variable(s) into the script command.

Use recently created in QG module variable in Scripts' command:

4. Add a Scriptable Button in the Form Wizard (FW):

• In the RDA Designer, under the same project, open the relevant Form Wizard (FW).
• In Step 3, add a Scriptable Button and select the script you created in the previous step.
  In order to create a Scriptable Button please refer related manual: https://quilliup.zendesk.com/knowledge/articles/360008553520/en-us?brand_id=739241
• Make sure to enable the "Use Form Variables" switcher.
• Choose a column that will be visible in Step 4 for selecting the variable values. This column will be used to filter the script based on its values.

Note: You can choose one or more values from the selected column, or run the script without applying any filters: 

5. Execute the Script in RDA Editor (Step 4): 

•  
  • Once you’re in Step 4 of the RDA Editor, the Scriptable Button you added in Step 3 will appear.
  • Clicking this button will allow you to choose the value(s) from the defined column. These values will be sent to the script:

6. Run the Script with Variable Values:

•  
  • When you click "Run Script", the selected values will be passed into the script command.
  • The QG test will then be executed using the variable values you selected from the RDA FW, and the results will be processed according to those values.

Final Example Workflow:

1. In QG Module: Create a variable TEST_VAR and assign it to the test's data set.
2. In RDAD: Create a "Command Line" script that uses the variable TEST_VAR.
3. In FW Step 3: Add a button to run the script and link it to the column from which variable values will be chosen.
4. In FW Step 4: Execute the script with the chosen values from the column and run the QG test with those values.

This process allows dynamic integration between the RDA and QG modules, making it easy to filter and run tests based on selected variable values directly from the RDA Designer interface.
