Find the testcases within a testcycle via the api

I want to insert an test execution result for a testcase but the endpoint for adding a new execution requires the testcycle key. I've tried to see how I can find the association between the testcase and the testcycle in both the testcase and the testcycle by getting each. I was hoping the testcycle would have a reference to the testcycle or the testcycle would have a list of all its testcases. Neither appears to be true. I use the following to retrieve the testcase: https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2/testcases/<testcaseid>

testcycle: https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2/testcycles/testcycles/<testcycleid>

Neither of these call return information relating to the other even though the testcycle contains the testcase.

I don't understand how I can create a test execution without this information. Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

TIA Alan

      No, it uses a different way. As I'm using Zephyr Scale Cloud I access that via https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2 and append the appropriate endpoint e.g. /testcases or /testcycles etc. (https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-scale-cloud/api-docs/)
      For accessing the API, you must generate an access key in Jira. To generate an access token, click on your profile picture at the page bottom left, and choose the option “Zephyr Scale API keys".
      support.smartbear.com

       

       
      This code here adds a test execution into Zephyr Scale for the test case however I've hard coded the values (just to make sure it will work) as I can't figure out how to get them via the api.
       
      function createPostRequest(endpoint="/testcases")
      {
        let address =  "https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2" + endpoint;
        let request = aqHttp.CreatePostRequest(address)
       
        request.SetHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        request.SetHeader("Authorization", "Bearer <zephyr scale api token>")
       
        return request;
      }
       
      function createTestExecution()
      {
        let test = getLastTest();
        let request = createPostRequest("/testexecutions")
       
        let requestBody = {
          "projectKey": "VRTWB",
          "testCaseKey": "VRTWB-T6",
          "testCycleKey": "VRTWB-R1",
          "statusName": "PASS",
          "testScriptResults": [
            {
              "statusName": "PASS",
              "actualEndDate": "2022-01-20T13:15:13.000Z",
              "actualResult": "User logged in successfully"}]
            }
        let str = JSON.stringify(requestBody)
       
        let response = request.send(str);
       
        Log.Message(response);
      }

      Hi Vinnie,

       

      I think I should have put this question in the Zephyr Scale community as it is related to that API. I am calling it from TestComplete but the data I'm looking for is designed by Zephyr Scale.

        Hi Vinnie,

        Can you remove this or the duplicate I created. I added a post on Zephyr Scale Community as I hadn't realised that you could had the ability to move it across?

         

        Thanks,

        Alan
