Re: Zephyr Scale - is there a way to separate Custom Fields by Project
I'm not yet ready for a screen-share session, it's not a blocker, just on the horizon. Doing what research I can to smooth the way. On closer examination, all 4 are in the same Project, just different first level folders in the Test Cases tab. That explains why all of them see the same Primary list. I have passed the info back up the chain to determine if we'll keep it all in one project with 4 folders and unique Custom Fields, or if they want to make separate Projects and move things around. Thanks for all the help, I won't close this until I hear back regarding the path forward, as there may be additional requests for assistance from me on this topic.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Zephyr Scale - is there a way to separate Custom Fields by Project
Thanks, MisterB. I believe you understand correctly. However, I started with Zephyr about a week ago (among all the other things I'm doing), so I haven't had time to look into what Components and Labels are. Can we use them to select a list of tests to run? I was told we needed the Custom Fields to do that. Note that the person guiding me is only a slight bit ahead of me on the curve and even more overloaded than I am (which is how I got stuck with this). Where can I find out more about Components and Labels fields?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: clone/copy a Custom Field to another Custom Field in Test Cases
Josh42 - no idea, but if you think it's the Cloud one, it probably is. Wasn't familiar enough with the tool to know the difference. Sounds like manual re-entry. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice not to have to do it that way. Thanks for looking at it.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: clone/copy a Custom Field to another Custom Field in Test Cases
Yes MisterB, it makes sense from a logical point. However the idea of using a mixed set of tools like that will be problematic for training a cross-continental team. It sounds like I will have to type the same info into each of the three fields to populate them, not cloning or copy/paste. And do the same (but with a different data set) in triplicate for each of the other projects. I feared that was going to be the case, but was hoping for another way. Oh well, such is life.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: clone/copy a Custom Field to another Custom Field in Test Cases
I am interested in not having to type long lists over again, as "I type, therefore I typo" is kind of my mantra. Any ideas would be welcome. I figured since this was a program, and had programmable aspects, that there probably should be a way to accomplish the cloning of the data within the Custom Field (presumed: a table within a database). Custom Fields were only chosen because we didn't know of any better (or other) way to track the different tests back to the specific feature being tested, whether directly (Primary), with interactions with a different feature (Secondary) or tangentially (Tertiary).1.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: clone/copy a Custom Field to another Custom Field in Test Cases
Perhaps. I'm new to ZS, and am not familiar with what you're saying. Allow me to restate, and perhaps we are in agreement. I have a list of tags representing the features within a product. It is over 40 items long. I have already typed them in under the Primary Custom Field for people creating test cases to select from. I want the exact same list to appear under the Secondary and Tertiary Custom Fields, but would prefer not to have to type it all by hand, as I will be following the same patten for several other projects. From the Test Case perspective, when writing it, the author selects the single feature that the test is focusing on from the list in Primary Custom Field. If there are any other features tested in conjunction with the feature selected in Primary, they would go into Secondary Custom Field. And if a third feature was also tested interacting with the Primary, it would go in the Tertiary Custom Field. If there are no others tested in conjunction with the Primary, then the Secondary and Tertiary Custom Fields are left blank. The Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Custom Fields exist so we can pull all the test cases that test a specific feature in either the Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Custom Fields. This allows us to ensure when the DevTeam modifies a feature, we can run every single test that involves that feature, whether it be directly or tangentially (Primary vs Secondary/Tertiary). I have the Primary list for the first Project completely entered, I just don't want to type the same list twice more if it is simple to replicate the list using some kind of internal ZS mechanism. Especially since I have additional projects to enter, each of which has a unique set of features. Type once, copy twice seems better than type thrice on several different projects (recalling that each project has a unique set of features, typed once in Primary and (hopefully) cloned/copied into Secondary and Tertiary Custom Fields). Hopefully that will help you understand how we are using it, and what I'm trying to accomplish.1.6KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Zephyr Scale - is there a way to separate Custom Fields by Project
Perhaps, I'm new to ZS, so I'm not certain of the terminology. I was hoping the image I provided would be visible to help out, but apparently it doesn't automatically display. I'll try again in text form... We have 4 separate Products under the Projects tab. Each Project has a Custom Field of Primary (each also has a Secondary and Tertiary field as well). The Custom Field named Primary is supposed to have a unique set of features, one set for each Project. At the moment, all of the Projects see the same set of features under Primary, which is not the desired behavior. We are trying to see if we can set up the Projects to have unique Primary fields, each filled with their own unique feature set. So far, we believe the only solution is to make each Primary (and Secondary/Tertiary) Custom Field unique to the Project, such as P1-Primary, P2-Primary, etc... We are hoping to find a cleaner way, and separate the Primaries by Project, but are unsure if such is possible. Does that help clarify what we are trying to do?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsZephyr Scale - is there a way to separate Custom Fields by Project
We have a series of Projects, each with unique Features. We track tests based on which Features they test. We have a Custom Field for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary features tested. What we are seeing is that the Features list in Primary shows up in all Projects. That is not what we want to see. Can anyone provide ideas on how to keep this from bleeding over? The options we are presently considering are: 1) having unique Custom Fields: Project1-Primary 2) having unique Features: Project1-Feature1 We would prefer not to have to do either, but no one here seems to know if it is possible or not. Are there any good options?1.2KViews0likes6Commentsclone/copy a Custom Field to another Custom Field in Test Cases
In Zephyr, within a Project, we have threeCustom Fields for Test Cases that we want to be filled with an identical list of features being tested (Custom Fields:Primary, SecondaryandTertiary).These are for tags to identify which features (the list) are being tested(Primary:the feature under test,Secondary:feature with a significant interaction with another feature,Tertiary:feature with a minor interaction with another feature). The feature list is identical for each of the threeCustom Fields. ThePrimaryfield has been completely filled out, but the other two are presently empty. I don't want to have to type all of that in again. Is there a way to clone (or copy) thePrimarycustom field and plug it into theSecondaryfield and then do the same for theTertiaryfield? While there is another question with a similar title, it doesn't appear to be what I am trying to do. It appears to be copying something from Jira into Zephyr - I want to take a list from one custom field in Zephyr and clone/copy the contents into anotherCustom Fieldin Zephyr.1.6KViews0likes8Comments
