[Testlink-general] testLink API

[Bhagat, Y. (Yateen) <yat...@al...>]

Hello

We are doing Proof-Of-Concept exercise with TestLink (v 1.9.13) as the test management system for our Test Automation Framework.

We plan to store our automated test cases (which are MS Excel based) using the test specifications functionality of TestLink. Each test case would have one ".xls" file attached to it. These test cases will then be linked to test plans.

Our home grown automated test execution engine runs on a host other than the TestLink host.
Test execution engine needs to fetch a test plan defined in TestLink.  As part of this process each constituent test case and the ".xls" file attached to it would be presented to the test execution engine.

Using the TestLink Java API, we have been able to get the test case names (and their order of execution) in a specified test plan, but we are unable to understand how to get actual ".xls" files attached to each test case. We need help to understand the same.

Thanks in advance,
Yateen Bhagat
