Using Zephyr Scale and Python/Robot Automation

My company is using Zephyr Scale within Jira for manual testing. About a year ago, we started using Python/Robot Framework for automation. I'm trying to figure out how to integrate the two. 

When creating our manual tests, on the Details page, there's a dropdown that says "Automatable" which I set to Yes but there's no other indication of how to use this field.

Any  suggestions?

  • Hi SnowFire ,

    This was one of the main reasons we chose Zephyr Scale at the start of 2024.

    We are heavy users of Robot Framework and are continually uploading test run results via the API to our Jira Cloud instance.

    You need to have an junit.xml output file (running -X will give you this on robot cli), then you use this to upload to zephyr.

    This will create a new test cycle everytime (unless you specify a previously created test cycle)

    There were a few gotchas that we encountered but I would be happy to supply more information if you would like to know more to help you on your way
