Rollup Status of all test cases

[Neha Dua]

Hi Team ,

I want to create multiple test case  in JIRA which will be linked to Single Test Scenario ( which can be any Issue Type in JIRA).

Is there a way I can have Parent Status  as rolled up status of all child(test cases ), meaning if one or more  of the test case is failed then scenario will be failed otherwise Pass.

Is there way I can accomplish this .

Thanks,

Neha Dua

Thanks much ! I will explore Automation in JIRA , 

Currently we have Zephyr , Deep Clone, Reports By Vizydrop apps - will they be helpful in any way for my above mentioned requirement ??

Hi! 

I have not used those products, so I do not know how they would or would not help.  Rolling up (or synchronizing) status is a fairly common scenario for automation, so you can do it without other add-ons.  Please see the examples and walkthroughs here:

Hi @Neha Dua 

Yes, you can roll-up the status of the child items to the parent using Jira automation rules.  Please see this documentation to get you started:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/automate-your-jira-cloud-processes-and-workflows/

However if you are using a marketplace add-on to manage your tests, please consider posting information about the add-on so the community may give you suggestions.

Best regards,

Bill

Thanks Bill, one more question please :) can we apply these automation rules on issue type "Test" status and Zephyr test execution status .

We need to set JIRA test status on the basis of last test execution cycle status .

Thanks for all your support.

Hi @Neha Dua 

My guess would be "yes" for the issue type, if the automation rule can see the issueType.  I suggest trying to access the issue and see if it is available. 

Regarding the Zephyr test execution status, I am unclear how that is represented.  If it is a status in your workflow or a field in an issue, then Jira automation can see it.

If you get stuck, please post an image of your rule so the community can give you ideas to try.

Thanks,

Bill

I didn't get that addon installed as of now as admin asked me to first confirm on these points .

Here is the Zephyr test execution status image I am talking about ,will these be accessible from AUtomation rule any idea ?

I want JIRA status to be updated with latest Zephyr Execution Status .

Can I apply rules on these status and main JIRA status .

Thanks  MUch!

Hi Neha,

The automation for Jira in Cloud is built-in, so you should be able to check if the test execution information is available without any additional add-ons.

If you cannot easily identify the names of the smart values (fields) for the data, you can make a test call to the REST API with a user story that has Zephyr fields, and that will reveal the names.  Here is how to do that:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

If it is still unclear if Zephyr can work with automation for Jira, I suggest sending a question directly to Zephyr support:
