What is a purpose of Iteration field?
Hi, Can anyone advise what is the purpose of the 'Iteration' field displayed for Test Cycles. Of course, I imagine it can be mapped to sprints in jira to plan test execution fit to entire development cycle (one iteration / sprint) and track the test progress. However, wouldn't it be better if 'Iteration' parameter stored and displayed values coming from 'Sprint' filed from Jira to avoid redundant activities?Solved3.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: Data-driven testing - how to use non-dataset data in Zephyr
Thanks MisterB for prompt answer. I hope that SmartBear will update the manual so as not to confuse anyone. Of course, a desirable solution is that other data sources for DDT approach are also natively supported by Zephyr DC, at least .csv file.1.7KViews1like0CommentsData-driven testing - how to use non-dataset data in Zephyr
Hi, Could you please advice on how I can use other data source then Zephyr data-set (eg csv, excel sheet, xml, SQL database) as input data for my manual test cases? The manual describes that it is possible, however this doesn't explain how it can be achieved. "Data-driven testing (DDT) is an approach to test design where the test data (input and output values) is separated from the actual test case. The test data can be stored in one or more central data sources and shared across different test cases. By storing your test data in a central repository (local storage, Excel spreadsheet, XML file, or SQL database), you can run the same test with a new set of data each time, avoiding redundant design and execution of repetitive tests cases. Toward the end of the test cycle, you can store test data to provide a clear audit trail of what was and wasn’t covered by a test." https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-scale-server/docs/test-cases/create/ddt/about.html Regards PiotrSolved1.8KViews0likes4Comments
