Provide direct native support for getting NUnit test results into Zephyr Enterprise without hassle
Please add native support for importing regular NUnit results files, as you've done for other testing tools' results files. Given we are a company that does a lot of C#/.NET development and uses and runs thousands of NUnit test cases When we reun our NUnit test cases Then we should be able to import NUnit results directly into Zephyr Enterprise, without having to either: re-run the tests with special parameters, or use an external conversion tool to make the NUnit results look like JUnit results. Adding the requirement to run (or re-run) test cases with a lot of extra parameters (e.g. "--result=junit-results.xml;transform=nunit3-junit.xslt" which results in a non-standard NUnit result), or execute a third-party external conversion tool (potentially unsupported now), makes the process of importing NUnit results into Zephyr Enterprise much more complex than it needs to be. Using Zephyr Enterprise with NUnit should be easier / more convenient and support a standard workflow.Re: Ability to reference a test case within another test case
OK, quick example time: Say you have 25 function tests that select a user, login, navigate to a specific menu page, and then test some function. Rather than having 26 tests (including one test that just navigates to the page and validates the static content) repeat have all of the same steps to start out, and just add a different final couple of steps, 25 of the tests can just call the "select-user-login-navigate-to-menu" test and then test their specific function. Much easier maintenance. DRY (don't repeat yourself). If the first test Fails ("select-user-login-navigate-to-menu") there should just be one defect link (critical defect), and the other 25 function tests should be marked as "Blocked", or "Untested" not "Failed". Tester tries to walk into a bar, but the front door is barricaded. The rest of the bar tests don't really matter until that's fixed.46Views0likes1CommentRe: Zephyr automation
In the case of the JUnit parser (I haven't tried the other parsers, nor setup a custom parser yet), the test is linked using the value in the <testcase ....... name="xxxxx" .......> in the XML. FWIW -- We are actually post-processsing the XML file to update that, so it has the full name (including the contents of the <testcase ....... classname="yyyyy" .......>) rather than just the short name, because that is the way we have named them in our Zephyr test repository. It is a fairly simple transform - e.g. in PowerShell we use this snippet # find all "testcase" nodes, and update the "name" part to include "classname" as well # because that's how we named the test cases in the Zephyr Enterprise $matchingNodes = $xml.SelectNodes("//testcase") foreach ($node in $matchingNodes) { $node.SetAttribute("name", $node.classname + "." + $node.name) }38Views1like0CommentsHow can we get a Vortex zbot Folder Watcher to recognize a network drive?
I am successful at setting up zbot Folder Watchers to monitor local drive folders for different environments (e.g. C:\VortexResults\Dev, C:\VortexResults\QA, C:\VortexResults\Staging, etc.). These work fine. But when I try to monitor folders on a mapped network drive, it doesn't work (e.g. Z:\VortextResults\Dev). The error says "Please configure a correct folder to observe." It doesn't seem like UNC paths to network locations work either (same error). We'd like to have the Vortex zbot Folder Watcher monitor a network drive so several people could run test cases, and drop the results files in the network location and not everyone would have to have multiple zbots running to monitor the folders. I think what may be happening is the zbot service process is started before the network drive is mapped. Has anyone found a good way to have a zbot Folder Watcher monitor a network location?80Views1like0CommentsAdd support for Test Scenarios with Variables (e.g. BDD style) for users with Jira Cloud
We have users who have manual test scenarios, where there are steps to be repeated many times, but with different variables inserted and different results checked for, similar to, but more complex than the example below: Given a user navigates to OurApplication_login_screen When I enter Username as <username> and Password as <password> Then the Home_Screen should be displayed And the text Welcome <friendly_name> should be in the header Examples |username | password | friendly_name | |username1 | password_1 | User One | |username2 | password_2 | User Two | |username3 | password_3 | User Three | Apparently Zephyr Enterprise supports tracking these types of scenarios only if customers are using an on-prem version of Jira, but not if using Jira Cloud. We'd like this capability added/expanded for users of Jira Cloud (as we're NOT going to go back to hosting Jira on-prem!).Re: Ability to "undo" accidental deletions
One of our users asked me if an "undelete" is possible because they accidentally deleted something just a few minutes prior. Agree with the desire to have an undelete available for a short time - even 2 to 4 hours would be nice. Usually a deletion mistake is realized in that time or shorter.255Views0likes0Comments
