In this post, we will discuss creating folders in ALM Test plan using OTA API. We will use C#.

To create a folder in test plan using OTA API we will use the following Classes from OTA API.

1. TreeManager – To get the SysTreeNode Object.
2. SysTreeNode – To add the new test folder in the TestPlan.

First, we will get the SysTreeNode Object of the current folder path from the test plan. So, if you want to create a folder under Subject folder then we will need to get the SysTreeNode object of the Subject Folder.

TDAPIOLELib.TreeManager OTManager = tDConnection.TreeManager;
TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode OSysTreeNode = OTManager.NodeByPath[folderPath];

Where Folder Path will be “Subject”, if you want to create a Folder under Subject Folder.

Once we have the SysTreeNode Object then we will just have to add the new folder

OSysTreeNode.AddNode(newFolderName);

Complete Code

public Boolean Create(String parentFolderPath, String newFolderName)
{
TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode OSysTreeNode = GetNodeObject(parentFolderPath);
OSysTreeNode.AddNode(newFolderName);
return true;
}

public TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode GetNodeObject(String folderPath)
{
TDAPIOLELib.TreeManager OTManager = tDConnection.TreeManager;
return OTManager.NodeByPath[folderPath];
}

To create a new Folder under Subject Folder, You can call the create Function like this

Create("Subject", "Dummy1");

To create a new folder under this Dummy1 folder

Create("Subject\\Dummy1", "Dummy2");
