Is there a way to import the Tests under a Subtest Execution to another Subtest Execution?

[Megha Debnath]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to import the Tests under a Subtest Execution to another Subtest Execution belonging to a different parent.

Currently what I am doing is searching the issue in TestExecution List in Xray and getting the tests from there, saving a filter in Jira and then importing the Tests using that filter. This is a lot for a QA to execute every time. Hence, looking for a better way to do it without using any external apps.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Hi @Megha Debnath 

As far as I know you could just do this by knowing which test cases and selecting/adding them manually. In the sub test execution you could say "add tests" and then choose "existing tests". There is also a JQL option but I guess "tests within a certain sub test execution" cannot be resolved.

My question is:
How do you use sub test executions? As test cases are added to a parent (eg. a story) that test the functionality of that story the sub test execution is automatically created consisting of these tests. BUT: as test cases are standalone standard issues you could also add 1 test case to 2 or more parents (stories). so lets say you have "TestCase 1" which is added to "Story A" as well as to "Story B". Now everytime you create a sub test exection (whether in Story A or Story B) TestCase 1 will be part of the sub test execution.

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi @Stefan Salzl 

I process that you suggested becomes difficult when there are a lot of tests present. My current solution to this problem is to get a query using the test execution list and use the same while adding tests.
