504 Gateway Timeout (CloudFront) on /automations/executions/custom with ~1000 executions
I'm using the Zephyr Scale Cloud custom automation format endpoint (POST /automations/executions/custom) to import test execution results in bulk via a zip file containing a JSON results file. The zip file is small (~4.3KB compressed, ~133KB uncompressed) and contains 1027 test execution records in the standard custom format: { "version": 1, "environment": "...", "executions": [ { "result": "Pass", "testCase": { "key": "PROJ-T12345" } }, ... ] } Request details: Endpoint: POST /automations/executions/custom?projectKey=PROJ&autoCreateTestCases=false Body: multipart/form-data with `file` (zip) and `testCycle` (JSON) fields Auth: Bearer token, confirmed valid (a deliberately malformed request returns a fast 400 Bad Request, confirming auth/routing work correctly) The issue: When submitting the full 1027-execution zip, the request consistently times out at ~60-61 seconds with a 504 Gateway Timeout returned by CloudFront (not by the Zephyr application itself): HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Timeout X-Cache: Error from cloudfront Via: 1.1 ....cloudfront.net (CloudFront) I reproduced this twice independently using curl directly against api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com, both times timing out right at the ~60s mark, which matches CloudFront's default origin response timeout. This suggests the backend is taking longer than 60 seconds to process the full batch of executions, and CloudFront is terminating the connection before a response can be returned. Questions: Is there a documented or recommended maximum number of executions per request for this endpoint? Is there a way to increase the origin timeout for this endpoint, or does it support asynchronous processing (e.g., a 202 Accepted + polling pattern) for larger imports? Is there a better-supported way to bulk-import ~1000 executions into a single test cycle in one request? Or should I accept that I need to split this into multiple requests against the same test cycle to stay under the timeout? Any guidance on the practical limits of this endpoint would be appreciated.
API for report generation
Hello, I would like to know if there is any API available for Zephyr reports. As we are able to download the reports, for example, Test execution summary.pdf from Zephyr cloud. I want to download/generate them automatically using an API call and upload or publish them in a different location. Could someone please help me with the same? Kind Regards, SKPOST - create test script: step by step issue
Hello, I am using Zephyr Scale Cloud and encountering an issue when editing test steps. I am successfully able to: Create a new test case using POST /v2/testcases with the following JSON: { "projectKey": "DZIA", "name": "Login Test" } Edit steps for plain text scripts using: POST /v2/testcases/DZIA-T176/testscript { "type": "plain", "text": "e.g. Attempt to login to the application" } However, I am unable to update test steps one by one (step-by-step) as described in the documentation. The documentation states: To define your own test steps, use the POST /testcases/{testCaseKey}/teststeps endpoint after creation using OVERWRITE mode AND For Plain Text scripts, we support HTML fragments. To create a step-by-step test script, you should use the POST /testcases/{testCaseKey}/teststeps endpoint. POST /v2/testcases/{testCaseKey}/teststeps?mode=OVERWRITE with a JSON body: [ { "description": "Your step description", "expectedResult": "What you expect after the step" }, { "description": "Next step description", "expectedResult": "Next expected result" } ] …but this request does not work. Response: { "errorCode": 400, "message": "Invalid Payload" } Questions: Is the provided JSON structure correct for importing step-by-step instructions? Could you provide an explicit example (expected JSON payload) for step-by-step test steps? Thank you guys!
Why are test steps or BDD scripts not visible in Zephyr Scale UI when created via API?
Hello Zephyr Community, I am automating test case creation in Zephyr Scale Cloud using the REST API. My workflow generates test cases with either “Step by Step” steps or BDD-Gherkin scripts (using testScript.type = "GHERKIN" and a “text” field). The API call succeeds and the test case is created, but in the Zephyr UI, the “Test Script” section either shows as “Step by Step” with no steps, or as “BDD-Gherkin” with no script visible. If I manually set the script type and paste the steps or Gherkin scenario in the UI, everything displays as expected. Questions: Is there a known limitation or required configuration for making test steps or BDD scripts visible in the UI when creating/updating test cases via API? Are there any required fields or payload formats to ensure the UI displays the steps or Gherkin script? Is there a workaround to automate this fully, or is manual intervention always required after API creation?Zephyr scale advanced search option limitation
Hello All, We have recently moved from zephyr squad to scale and with this change, all our jira dashboards stopped working as Scale does not support jql anymore. Infact, Zephyr scale does not have any advanced search option like zql to write query that gives flexibility and same can be reuse in creating gadgets. We use labels in Jira and Zephr scale and the problem is here, for a multiple value field filtering works in 'OR' case and there is no provision to use the same field in 'AND' condition. We are stuck in deriving certain KPIs like automation coverage, Automated cases as we manage those using labels. If anyone figure out solutions for this search limitation, please let me know.
Need help with Zypher gadget /Graph for Test execution
Hi , I am using Zephyr Squad - Test Management for JIRA 16308 Users: COMMERCIAL License. I am trying to get Total test cases for all cycles as overall and its % completion and % execution in gadget as count or as matrix table. The Zephyr graph below shows testcases but its grouped by cycle or components. I want to show overall % for test execution and test completion (for single version TestPOC) Is there a way to show total sum on column wise or row wise and also % completion and % execution based on formula .... Thanks in advance for your help and support!!microsoft SSO login test using zephyr no code automation
Hi everyone, As an SDET, I am trying to test the microsoft SSO login flow using zephyr scale no code automation. Problem statement- not able to use "manual intervention" or "wait till I auhthenticate", so that I can enter the input manually for the passcode or authenticate using my microsoft authenticator app. Please provide me a better solution, so that I can use no code automation without fail.Added Bulk Test cases were not displayed in the list all the time until we refresh the page.
I found a bug in the test cases section. Is it a bug for others in the community or Only me? I am a tester and just started learning Zephyr and found this bug: Adding a test cases was going smooth as expected. And when you add bulk test cases then it also goes smooth. But when you open any test case and came back to test cases library then those new bulk test cases are not displayed in the list. I refreshed the screen then it appeared back. So I tested same again and again, it is happening same every single time that test cases are missing until refresh. My Observations: In this first picture, I have added t3, t4, t5 as bulk then I did one clone t6. then I opened a test case and came back to library. In the second picture, thats the actual result. Now, Until I refresh the screen it does not display those added bulk test cases. Then repeat the same actions (open any test case and come back to library and observed same).
