Jira Zephyr

What Is Jira Zephyr?

The Jira Zephyr plugin is an add-on for Jira that enhances its capabilities for test management. Zephyr, integrated within Jira, provides tools for creating, managing, and executing test cases directly within the Jira environment.

Usage

When we have BELLATRIX tests which correspond to zephyr test cases inside jira and we want to automatically create test cycles when the tests are executed, the jira-zephyr plugin of BELLATRIX proves handy.

To use this plugin, we first need to import it to our test module. After that, we must register it.

@Override
protected void configure() {
    super.configure();
    addPlugin(ZephyrPlugin.class);
}

We can annotate the test class with the @ZephyrProjectId.

@ZephyrProjectId("BELLATRIX")
public class JiraZephyrTests {
  // code
}

Then, we simply annotate our tests with their respective test case ids with @ZephyrTestCase.

@ZephyrTestCase(id = "B-12")
@Test
public void testingJiraZephyrIntegration() {
  // code
}

One can customize the plugin through the config.

Config

The settings section in the config file must look like this:

"zephyrSettings": {
  "isEnabled": "true",
  "apiUrl": "insert/the/url/of/the/api",
  "token": "insert the token generated from jira zephyr",
  "defaultProjectKey": "insert the default project's key to be used, if not defined in the test class or test case",
  "isExistingCycle": "insert false to generate new test cycle, insert true and provide in the test class or test case the id of the existing test cycle",
  "testCycleName": "insert the name of the test cycle to be created",
  "cycleFinalStatus": "insert the final status of the cycle"
}

Mandatory settings are the isEnabled, apiUrl, and token. If you define isExistingCycle as true, testCycleName may be omitted.
