Best practice for running repeat module in test cases

[atkiwi]

Hello,

Currently I have a project where the hierarchy currently looks like the following:

>Smart Folder
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module A
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module B
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module C

I have a recording module that needs to be ran for every Test Case in that smart folder. Other testers may only run some of test cases in this Smart Folder so I need them to be able to be ran independent on the order of each one. Currently, I believe I should proceed by copying and pasting the necessary recording module into every test case so my new hierarchy looks like the following:

>Smart Folder
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module X
> > > Recording Module A
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module X
> > > Recording Module B
> > Test Case
> > > Recording Module X
> > > Recording Module C

I want to know if there is a cleaner, more efficient way to come to the same result such as running it in a loop, for each test case in smart folder run recording X before any other recording modules.

I have looked up setup which I believe would only run once if any test case in the smart folder is executed. The exception is if I implement the setup on the test case level but then that's pretty much doing the same as copying and pasting the same recording module into each one.

Thanks!

Hi,

I think your actual solution is the best/easiest one. I can't see any better/more efficient way to achieve what you want.
