Need a dashboard widget that shows Test step status's
Need a dashboard widget that shows Test step status's. Zephyr Scale has a widget called Test Execution Results that shows the individual steps added to an test issue. We want to be able to report on this information and include it in our dashboards. Can this widget be added to Zephyr Squad?
Zephyr squad loading issue - 504 bad gateway timeout.
Since from yesterday i.e. 08/08/2023 till now Zephyr squad loading issue as not been resolved and if it access and try to edit/add new TC's, currently the update is not happening. Also if user deletes any of the test steps in middle of the TC, its not reflecting. Please look into the issue and request to resolve on priority basis.Can we please talk about Zephyr execution latency?
I feel like this gets talked about every so often but nothing ever changes - there are posts from users going back literal years about this issue and it is by far the biggest, if not the primary, thing that drives me crazy about Zephyr (Squad, these days) and also the main reason I daydream about switching TMPs on a very regular basis. When manually executing test cases, the fact that every single interaction prompts a DB update is maddening. Change the value of a Status drop-down? Reload the page. Add a comment (or part of a comment but leave focus)? Reload the page. Click the wrong thing? Ha ha, sucker, reload the page. Each of these reloads (at least for our cloud version) take anywhere from 3 to a whopping 25 [EDITED: in taking a video to show my manager it actually took over 45 seconds for each action] seconds (and sometimes more, on a particularly bad day), so if I'm working on a test case with, say, twenty steps in it and adding notes as I go, that's minutes of wasted time sitting here waiting for the dang page to update. Multiply that by X number of test cases in a cycle and I swear to Pete, I want to throttle someone. You can't even mitigate some of that torture by marking all test steps as PASS as there's no functionality to do that, at least in the cloud version. It's ridiculous. It's unacceptable. If you could give me one thing for Xmas, Smartbear, it would be to actually acknowledge this humongous issue and maybe, just maybe, put it in your roadmap to address in the next, I dunno, decade? If it wasn't clear I can't stand it any more. Love, Jen
Exporting JIRA and Zephyr Field to get a complete view of test cases executions
When exporting from Zephyr into an Excel spreadsheet the only filed available are the Zephyr fields. Other JIRA filed associates with a test case like comments, description, attachment, etc. ... are not included. We need to do multiple exports from JIRA and Zephyr to get all the information we need, merge documents to get all we need in the report. Questions: is there a way to export the JIRA Field and the Zephyr Field together? Is there an add-on or apps that we can install, integrate and use that would solve the issue? Thanks for your help.
Execution steps sporadically loading very slowly
Hello, dear SmartBear Community! We have a sporadic issue with Zephyr Squad for Jira Cloud. When it happens, we see a spinner instead of the test steps in the Test Execution (see attachment). The test steps in the corresponding Jira ticket are opened quickly at the same time, so the issue only affects Test Executions. The browser DevTools shows a specific slow endpoint - the one that loads execution details: https://prod-play.zephyr4jiracloud.com/connect/public/rest/api/1.0/execution/8cfb1aa5-... This does not happen consistently, but when it does, it usually lasts for a long time and affects all our QA team members. I.e. today none of the executions could be loaded for 3 hours (!). This makes the work of the QA engineers so much slower than it could be as most of the time during test execution is spent on waiting for Zephyr Squad. We filed a support ticket at the beginning of January. The response from the support team that we received 6 days ago (mid-February) was that a development ticket had been raised. There was no further update yet. We still continue to see the issue quite often. I would say that it has become worse since our support ticket in January as now we have days like today - when even page refreshes do not help. Does anyone else experience this issue? If you experienced and solved it, we would be grateful if you could share your solution. P.S. Dear SmartBear team, could you please help? We have been your loyal customers for 4 years now, and we used to recommend your products to our colleagues.Zephyr plugin unaccessible, barely able to work with the executions, creation, editing test cases
Starting from yesterday (8 Aug) there is almost impossible to work with the Zephyr plugin in the Jira Cloud. Yesterday I was able to open executions and test cases, but only after waiting minutes to load a page. The situation is even worse today, the test cycles, executions, and test cases even do not load. Just an endless spinner after trying to open the executions. And I see that I am not the only one who has such a problem according to the questions in this community. Tried on different browsers and my co-workers have the same problem, please fix this ASAPSorting tests for execution in a folder
I have imported a number of tests in Zephyr Squad Cloud: I would like to sort by Summary, but I can't (no sort arrow). So I added Labels, which does have a sort arrow. But when I click on the arrow, incorrect sorting occurs. One way: The other way: Different but not sorted. Back in the old days there was a Reorder Executions, but it seems to be gone away: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
How to write mandatory fields in Integration Script
Hi everyone! I've been trying to integrate Jenkins with Zephyr using the integration script explained in the arcticle from the Zephyr Squad Cloud Documentation, but when I run the job through Jenkins I get the error "Please provide Jira mandatory field details". In the example shown in the article, it only provides a solution when the fields "Reporter" and "Component" are mandatory, but in my case I have other mandatory fields. So the problem I'm having is that I don't know how to write the mandatory fields that I have into the script. The image attach to this post shows the mandatory fields that my configuration in JIRA requires when an automation task is created. If someone can explain to me how to detail those mandatory fields in the script, it will be really helpful!
