Import Results - Automated upload using REST API

AIO Tests supports importing of the automation test execution reports through the Import Results API. This article covers the options available while importing results.

After mapping automated tests to AIO tests and executing the test suite, the results file is generated.
This results file can then be imported by passing the file as part of a multipart/form-data request.

API Details:

TestNG

curl -X POST "https://tcms.aiojiraapps.com/aio-tcms/api/v1/project/AT/testcycle/AT-CY-Adhoc/import/results?type=Testng" 
-H "accept: application/json;charset=utf-8" 
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
 -F "createNewRun=true" 
 -F "addCaseToCycle=true"
 -F "createCase=true"
 -F "file=@testng-results.xml;type=text/xml"

JUnit

curl -X POST "https://tcms.aiojiraapps.com/aio-tcms/api/v1/project/AT/testcycle/AT-CY-Adhoc/import/results?type=Junit" 
-H "accept: application/json;charset=utf-8" 
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
 -F "createNewRun=true" 
 -F "addCaseToCycle=true" 
 -F "createCase=true" 
 -F "file=@TEST-featureTest.xml;type=text/xml"

The API assumes the cycle to be pre-existing, it can either be created from the AIO Tests interface or by using the Create Cycle API.

Explanation of Parameters :

Form Data parameters	Description	Default

Form Data parameters	Description	Default
file	File [results.xml]	Mandatory
createNewRun	Helps control the creation of new runs for repeating tests in a suite execution. Repeating tests may be due to data driven cases or multiple invocation cases. One may choose to disable it for e.g. in retry cases, where only the last status matters and in between runs don’t matter	true
addCaseToCycle	If mapped case is not already existing in the cycle being executed, adds the case to the cycle and reports results for the case. If set to false, such cases are reported as errors in case of TestNG AIO Tests only considers mappings which start with “JiraProjName-TC”- and not all groups	true
createCase	For cases where no key or automation key is found in AIO Tests, if createCase is set to true, a new case is created and added to cycle. If set to false, such a case is reported as an error
updateDatasets	Only impacts tests based on datasets. If set to true, it adds/removes datasets from data driven tests. Can be set to false in retries where subset of datasets only may have been executed.
forceUpdateCase	Only applies to Robot cases that include steps. Set to false to prevent steps from being updated from results file. Helpful if users dont want to update the steps from the file.	false
defaultFolder	Assist users in configuring the folder ID to designate the default folder for cases generated via import.
