Run batch script from Quality Center

Question

I have a batch script (.bat file) that I run from commandline to execute my test scripts. Now I would like to invoke this batch script from HP Quality Center. How should I run a batch script from Quality Center?

Answer 1

You can create a VAPI-XP test in Quality Center and start your batch script from the Test Script of the test case using some code like this (VBScript):

mycommand = "C:\tmp\some.bat"
TDOutput.Print "Starting " & mycommand
result=run(mycommand,0,true)
TDOutput.Print "Test ended with " & result
