PractiTest Overview#

PractiTest is a test management tool that facilitates the organization, tracking, and planning of software testing processes by integrating with Pipedream's automation capabilities. With the PractiTest API, you're able to manipulate test cases, sets, runs, and report on results programmatically. This powerful combination opens the door to automated workflows that enhance testing processes, improve bug tracking, and provide real-time feedback to your team.

Trigger Code#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import { DOCS } from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...common,
    key: "practitest-test-created",
    name: "Test Created",
    description: `Emit new event for each new test [See docs here](${DOCS.testCreated})`,
    version: "0.0.1",
    type: "source",
    dedupe: "unique",
    methods: {
        ...common.methods,
        async getData() {
            return this.practitest.getTests(this.projectId);
        },
        getSummaryName({ name }) {
            return name;
        },
    },
});

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
PractiTest	`practitest`	`app`	This component uses the PractiTest app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

PractiTest uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your PractiTest account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to PractiTest APIs in both code and no-code steps.

PractiTest uses API tokens for authentication. You can create a new API token by going to the Account Settings - “API Tokens”, or going to your personal settings for Personal Tokens. Please visit API tokens for more information.

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
