Getting all the 'Runs' of Test Scripts from Test Lab in Quality Center through OTA

Question

Could some one help me in getting the below task done. It will be great help.

Ex:

I have a Test Script in Test Lab in a particular path in QC.

I need to develop a OTA, which will provide me 'All Runs' of the Test Script present in the path that I give. Say, I have 20 scripts in a path "Path1"(Basically the Test Lab path). So when i give this path as input, can i get all the scripts present in it and all their execution Runs. Ex: A test script 1234 is initially "Failed", then next day if it is "Passed". Then I need to get both these statuses out from Qc for all the Test Scripts.

Is this possible? I knew, we need to access the RUN table for the scripts in the given path. But could some one help me.

Thank you in advance..!

First you need to get the test set in which your scripts are located. (The example below is in Ruby, but it should be no problem to adapt it. @tdc is the TDConnection object):

test_set_tree_manager = @tdc.TestSetTreeManager
test_set_folder = test_set_tree_manager.NodeByPath("Root\\Some\\Path\\To\\Lab\\Folder")
test_set_list = test_set_folder.FindTestSets("Name of test set")
test_set = test_set_list.Item(1)

Then you need to get the test instances (TSTest) from which you want to get the runs:

test_set_factory = test_set.TSTestFactory
found_test_instances = test_set_factory.NewList("")

Finally, get all the runs from some test instance:

test_instance = found_test_instances.Item(1)
run_factory = test_instance.RunFactory
runs = run_factory.NewList("")

runs is a List which contains all the test runs of test_instance.
