Zephyr Scale

This document will cover a step by step guide on integration of Zephyr Scale Cloud in JIRA with Katalon Automation Platform.

Setup Zephyr Scale in Jira

• Katalon Studio

• Zephyr Scale app in Jira Cloud

1. Generate API Access Tokens
   You need to generate an access token to use the API for Zephyr Scale. Each user interacting with the API will need a token for that instance of Jira.
   1. Click your Jira profile icon and select Zephyr Scale API Access Tokens.
   2. Select Create access token.
   3. The pop-up Access token successfully created appears. Select Copy to copy the access token.
2. Now you can get started using the REST API.
   The URL for API requests is:

   https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2/{endpoint}

   The authorization we use is based on JWT, so you have to use a bearer token. Add the Authorization header with the value Bearer {token}.

   You can refer to the API documentation for details on available endpoints and data models.

3. Create sample Test Case, Test Cycle, Test Plan and link them as per requirements

Setup Katalon project

1. Global Variables setup

   Create the following global variable in your package which will be used in API calls for pushing execution results to Zephyr cloud in Jira from Katalon after execution of test cases.

   

2. Create Test Case and tag

   Script the test case and give name to test case with prefix as Test Case Key from Zephyr Scale then an underscore followed by Test case name, for example: <<TestCase Key>>_<<Test case name as per your choice>>

   Also, you need to tag the test case with linked Test Cycle Keys from Zephyr scale as below.

   

3. Create Web Service Request

   In API you need to provide an end point, set authorization with bearer token generated in the step Generating API Access Tokens above, update that to HTTP Header and the HTTP Body with parameterized global variables which will be replaced with actual value in runtime.

   Under the Object repository add a new web service request for API Create test execution -This API will be used to push test results by creating a new execution record for each Test case after execution in Katalon.

   
   

4. Create TestListener

   Create a new test listener with following methods and code given below. This will call the Execution API after each Test case gets executed and push results to Zephyr Scale.

   << default import statements will be here>>
   class NewTestListener {
       /**
       * Executes after every test case ends.
       * @param testCaseContext related information of the executed test case.
       */
       @AfterTestCase
       def sampleAfterTestCase(TestCaseContext testCaseContext) {
           //Get Test Case Key from test case name
           TestCase testCase = findTestCase(testCaseContext.getTestCaseId())
           GlobalVariable.g_ZS_TestCaseKey=testCase.getName().split("_")[0]
           //Set Zephyr Status
           if (testCaseContext.getTestCaseStatus()=="PASSED")
               GlobalVariable.g_ZS_StatusName="Pass"
           else if (testCaseContext.getTestCaseStatus()=="FAILED")
               GlobalVariable.g_ZS_StatusName="Fail"
           else
               GlobalVariable.g_ZS_StatusName="Not Executed"
           //Call API to Push Result to Zephyr by creating Test case execution
           WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('Create Execution'))
       }
   }

5. Install Basic Search for Dynamic Test Suite Plugin. You can install Basic Search For Dynamic Test Suite by login into the Katalon Store and reload the plugin in Katalon Studio.

   

6. Create Dynamic Test Suite and Generate Command for Console Mode

   1. In Test Explorer panel, right-click at the Test Suites folder > New > Dynamic Test Suite to create a Dynamic Test Suite.

      

   2. Select Generate Command icon near Run icon and select Test Suite and other details.

      

7. Execute Dynamic Test Suite using Console mode command.

   This command can be configured in Katalon TestOps or in CI tool for triggering execution or can be run on cmd using Katalon Runtime Engine.

   ./katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console
   -projectPath="/Users/rupeshsawant/Katalon Studio/Katalon and
   Zephyr Integration/Katalon and Zephyr Integration.prj"
   -retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/Zephyr TestCycle Dynamic
   Test Suite" -browserType="Chrome" -executionProfile="default"
   -apiKey="<<Your APi Key>>" -orgID=<<Your Org Id>> --config
   -proxy.auth.option=NO_PROXY -proxy.system.option=NO_PROXY
   -proxy.system.applyToDesiredCapabilities=true
   -webui.autoUpdateDrivers=true

   You need to append two arguments with the Test Cycle Key value which you want to execute:

   • testSuiteQuery="tag=(<<Your Test Cycle Key)>>)": this argument will be used for filtering test cases linked to test cycle for execution in dynamic test suite.
   • g_ZS_TestCycleKey="<<Your Test Cycle Key)>>": this argument will be used for setting global variable value to selected test cycle which will be required in API calls.

   The command will be updated as follows:

   ./katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console
   -projectPath="/Users/rupeshsawant/Katalon Studio/Katalon and
   Zephyr Integration/Katalon and Zephyr Integration.prj"
   -retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/Zephyr TestCycle Dynamic
   Test Suite" -browserType="Chrome" -executionProfile="default"
   -apiKey="<<Your APi Key>>" -orgID=<<Your Org Id>> --config
   -proxy.auth.option=NO_PROXY -proxy.system.option=NO_PROXY
   -proxy.system.applyToDesiredCapabilities=true
   -webui.autoUpdateDrivers=true -testSuiteQuery="tag=(<<Your
   Test Cycle Key)>>)" -g_ZS_TestCycleKey="<<Your Test Cycle
   Key)>>"

8. Check test results in Jira Zephyr ScaleResults will be updated in Jira Zephyr scale in respective test cycle and test case with new execution record.
