Is anyone using test automation tools against Jira?

I'm not talking about the "Automation for Jira" app (from CodeBarrel - an awesome product, BTW).

I'm talking about browser-driven testing of operations in Jira. I want to automate test cases like:

  • Update an issue in Jira (e.g. Status).
  • Confirm that Jira is showing the expected result.

I have to believe that Atlassian is using something internally for regression and feature testing (anyone from Atlassian willing to discuss your tools here?).

And I'm wondering if anyone else (e.g. Jira-app vendors) are using test automation against Jira.

I found very few hits here in the Community on the topic, and those I did find referenced all the usual problem areas (Javascript voodoo, changing DOMs, inability to rely on accessibility attributes, etc).

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Hi @Mykenna Cepek 

 

For a browser app, my team and I use selenium with java. Can re-used those scripts to test other browser applications as well, if needed. There's also cypress.io.

Thanks, Benjamin. I'm going to let this question float out here for a bit longer. I'm hoping to hear some additional options.

I've used Selenium before (and was a Java developer in my prior career). Just feels so heavy-weight, you know? I like the concept of Cypress, but I greatly dislike developing in JavaScript. Still wishing for a sweet-spot web-testing product.
