How do I create a report on test cases showing who created them?

Hi Smartbear Community and Support,

I am writing with a similar query regarding "Zephyr - Test Management and Automation for Jira," which is likely to be the new edition of "Zephyr Scale."

Before defining the test cycles in a project, I need to create dashboards and/or reports for test case statistics, not test cycle or plan statistics. These test case statistics are crucial in determining the scope and effort required for a project.

• Number of Test Cases by owner/responsibilities
• Number of Test Cases by folder/subfolder and by priority
• Number of Test Cases by review status
• Number of Test Cases by customized field(s) (example: Team responsible for testing, pre/postproduction testing etc.)
• Number of Test Cases by key folder and by priority
  etc.

I have attempted to generate these statistics using Dashboard Gadgets, Reports in Zephyr, and the Filter Feature, but have encountered several limitations.

Dashboard Gadgets in JIRA

• We have access to 21 pre-defined test dashboard gadgets in Jira, all related to "Test Execution." Unfortunately, none allow the creation of dashboards related to test case statistics.
• Additionally, we have access to over 30 pre-defined, non-testing-related dashboard gadgets based on "Jira Issue Types." However, since test cases written in Zephyr are not "Jira Issue Types," these gadgets are not useful for creating the necessary statistics.

Reports in Zephyr

There are 31 reports available in both company-managed and project-managed Jira/Zephyr environments, all focused on "test execution" and "traceability with issues." None of these reports provide test case design statistics, such as counts of owner, review status, component, and filters using custom fields.

Filter Feature

I have tried using the filter feature to extract test case statistics without success. This feature is part of Jira and works solely with "Jira Issue Types," rendering it ineffective for generating the required test case statistics.

Request to Community and Support:

• I am seeking guidance on how to create dashboards or reports (graphs or tables) using existing (not API or add on tools) features/settings to present "Test Case Statistics" in real-time before creating any test cycles and plans.
• This fundamental feature is essential for any Test Management Tool, and I am hopeful it is available in the standard Jira/Zephyr package and can be activated by the Jira Administrator.

I look forward to a prompt solution.
