Jira by default is a 'Defect Management Tool'. However, available add-on for Jira make it much more capable than just defect Management tool. Couple of such add-ons like 'Zephyr For Jira' & 'ZAPI' (API to access data from 'Zephyr For Jira' programmatically) make Jira capable for 'Test Management'. Both of these add-ons have different version for Server & Cloud accordingly. Let us look at, how do we work with ZAPI server version.
This example shows how to consume ZAPI REST APIs from Java using REST Assured libraries.
Use Case: Whenever the automation is run, it has to update the status of execution in test cycle.
Pre-requisite: Manual Tests are created in Jira with Issue Type - Test & Test cycle is created with tests added into it (Adding tests into test cycle creates execution ids for each test case in test cycle).
High Level Steps:- Login to Jira using proper credentials.
- Provide the Cycle Id OR ProjectId,Version & Cycle Id of the Test cycle to ZAPI api.
- Update the Test case status in test cycle based on the execution id of each test case.
