Using XSLT to generate JIRA markup (focus on test scripts in Gherkin format)

Copper Contributor

Hello folks,

I've been working on using a mix of Excel macros and XSLT to author a productivity tool that manages test scripts in Excel and then with XSL transformations creates a 1st-stage transform of the content to XML; a 2nd-stage transform can then use the intermediate XML output to generate markup for various other forms - HTML, XSL:FO ... and of course text (test cases expressed in Gherkin syntax embedded in JIRA markup).

 

I have adopted this pattern of macros and XSLT to maintain compatibility between Mac and Windows OS'.

 

Was wondering if anyone else having to do similar, wishing to collaborate or just generally interested in using Excel in this manner as a 'test scripts repository'?
