Retrieving Current Execution Job Details: Job level information and Test Case Information – ACCELQ

During test execution, it is often necessary to access information about the current execution context. This includes details about the running job, the specific test case, and the environment in which the test is being performed. ACCELQ provides a set of commands to retrieve this runtime information directly within your Action logic.

Note on Execution Context: The values returned by these commands are populated during a formal job execution. If a statement is executed as part of a local recorder or playback session, the returned values for some of the options may be blank strings ("").

Job-Level Information

This command retrieves various properties related to the overall test job that is currently executing.

`Test Case Count (pass)`	The number of test cases that have passed.	String (e.g., "4")
`Test Case Count (failed)`	The number of test cases that have failed.	String (e.g., "1")
`Test Case Count (in-progress)`	The number of test cases currently in progress.	String (e.g., "1")
`Test Case Count (not-run)`	The number of test cases that have not yet been run.	String (e.g., "2")
`Test Case Count (total)`	The total number of test cases in the job.	String (e.g., "8")
`Project Name`	The name of the project to which this job belongs.	String (e.g., "WebApp_Regression")
`App Environment`	The name of the application environment where the job is running.	String (e.g., "UAT")
`External Result URL`	A JSON string containing the publicly accessible URL for the job result report and its passcode.	JSON String `{"resultUrl": "...", "passcode": "..."}`

Test Case Information

These commands retrieve details about the currently running test case and its specific execution environment.

Get Current running Test Case Info

This command requires selecting a property from a predefined list to get details about the currently executing test case.

Property Name	Description	Return Value Format
`Test case name`	The name of the currently running test case.	String (e.g., "Verify User Login")
`Scenario name`	The name of the scenario to which the test case belongs.	String (e.g., "Login and Logout")
`Start time`	The timestamp when the current test case began execution.	String (e.g., "Thu 11 Jul, 2024, 09:02:15 PM (America/Chicago)")
`Elapsed execution time`	The time in seconds the current test case has been running.	String (e.g., "45")
`Test case index`	The index (position) of the current test case within the job sequence, starting from 1.	String (e.g., "6")
`Custom field value`	Retrieves the value of a specified custom field from the test case or its parent Scenario.	String

Contextual Check Commands

These commands are used for conditional logic and return a boolean (true/false) value.

Is Application Environment: Checks if the test is running in the specified application environment.
- Note: You can use the "regex" option to check against a list of possible values (e.g., to check if the environment is either "Staging" or "Prod").

Is current test case failed: Checks if the currently executing test case has already recorded a failure.
Is first test case in the Job: Checks if the current test case is the first one scheduled in the job.
Is last test case in the Job: Checks if the current test case is the last one scheduled in the job.
Is Execution Parameter Value: Compares the value of a specified Execution Parameter against an expected value.
- Note: This command also supports using the "regex" option to check against a set of expected values.

Execution Device Related Commands

These commands provide information about the platform (browser or mobile device) on which the test is running.

Is Browser Type: Checks if the test is running on the specified browser. Returns a boolean.
Is mobile platform: Checks if the test is running on the specified mobile platform (e.g., "iOS" or "Android"). Returns a boolean.
Get mobile device name: Returns the name of the mobile device on which the test is executing. Returns a string.
