Using Powershell to automate running of HP LoadRunner tests

[John Trimming]

Hi

I am trying to use PowserShell commands to fire a specific LoadRunner test.  The test has been designed as part of the HP ALM interface.

HP documentation gives complete details of the REST API here:

http://alm-help.saas.hp.com/en/12.50/api_refs/REST/webframe.htm#Overview.htm

There seems to be no reason why this should not be fired from standard PowerShell commands, but I can't find examples anywhere of how to do this, and the HP reference only contains Java examples (there are a few short C# examples on line as well).

Does anyone know of any examples which I can refer to?  Or are you able to share any PS scripts which you may have working?

RSVP - thanks

From a Bash script I use wget or curl to talk to a REST interface.

Maybe this may help you to get it working:

PowerShell 3.0 has the new command Invoke-RestMethod:
