How to generate JWT TOKEN from Postman
Hi Doug & Team, There seems to be some confusion. Kindly help me out here as soon as possible. My issue is How to generate JWT token from Postman itself. I have SecretKey, access Key, AccoutnId, Zephyr base URL also. Please just guide me how to use these details to generate JWT token from Postman. I am not talking about usage of the JWT TOKEN. I am asking about the process of generating JWT token via Postman. Thank youRunning TestComplete on Azure VM
I am thinking of creating test environments Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines (Azure VM's), hosted by Azure Cloud Services. I have experience with TestComplete on local physical machine, and on a local stored Virtual Machines (VMWare), however I do not have any experiences with TC running/executing tests on remotely hosted VM's on Azure Cloud Storage. I have couple of questions: 1. Who has experience with above mentioned scenario? 2. What are the pitfalls (running TC in Azure Cloud)? 3. What are best practices (running TC in Azure Cloud)? Mathijs
Zephyr API: Problems with BROWSE_PROJECTS permissions
Hi, I'm trying to integrate with Zephyr's API and do some basic things like create a test cycle, add tests to cycle, add execution, change execution status but I keep getting caught up with permission problems. I've had success at different moments with different APIs (200 response) without changing the payload, headers, or how I generate the JWT. So for this reason I believe that the authentication, headers and payload are fine. I'll give an example for how the request is being constructed for add cycle: headers = {'Authorization': 'JWT eyJ...', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'zapiAccessKey': 'ND...'} payload = { 'name': name, 'build': 'Build 3.1.0', 'environment': 'dev', 'description': 'cloned', 'projectId': 10005, 'versionId': -1, } POST 'https://prod-api.zephyr4jiracloud.com/connect/public/rest/api/1.0/cycle' The response (403) is: '{"errorType":"ERROR","clientMessage":"User does not have BROWSE_PROJECTS permission to perform the operation on project 10,005 issue .","errorCode":169}' So I went to Jira and Zephyr config to try to fix the permissions, but no amount of tweaking with the permissions would fix the problem. Attached is a screenshot of the the permissions for this Jira Project. I also cleared Zephyr cache and the Zephyr permissions cache after each tweak to make sure that the changes would be in effect. Can anyone help?Your Journey to Atlassian Jira Cloud with Zephyr Squad
Greetings community, Surely by now, most of you are aware of Atlassian’s shift in strategy to become a cloud-first company. This has some important implications to anyone who uses their Server based products, including apps. TL;DR: Follow these steps to migrate your Zephyr Squad app data using JCMA: Follow Atlassian's guide to setup theJCMA Followour Cloud migration guide to complete the migration Key dates per Atlassian’s FAQ page: February 2, 2021 – Atlassian customers can no longer purchase or request a quote for new Server licenses. February 2, 2022 – you will no longer be able to upgrade or downgrade user tiers for your Server products or apps (with some exceptions) February 2, 2023 – Existing customers can no longer purchase Server apps on the Marketplace February 2, 2024 – Atlassian stops support for Server products and apps What does this mean for Zephyr Squad customers? From my calls with some of you, and what I keep hearing from our support team, is that many of you are already actively exploring your options. While some are choosing to stick with on-prem by moving to Data Center, many of you are making plans to migrate everything to Cloud, including apps. Here at SmartBear, we are committed to facilitating a smooth transition to Cloud for all our customers. This includes brining feature parity between Server and Cloud products, supporting automated migration tools like JCMA, and be compliant with a number of Atlassian Cloud security and reliability programs on the Marketplace. What is the recommended migration path to Cloud? Atlassian’s Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA) is your primary path to Cloud. It is an application that helps you move projects, users, and groups from Jira Core or Jira Software on Server to Cloud.The automated app migration functionality in JCMA is now in an open beta, which means that all users can migrate their app data over to Cloud. Are there any feature differences between Jira Server and Cloud versions of Zephyr Squad? If you want to move to the Cloud version of Zephyr Squad, it’s worth considering feature differences from Server. We’ve created a handy Server/DC vs Cloud comparison matrix where you can review these differences in detail. Are there any limitations regarding what data I can migrate using JCMA tool? Yes. Because of feature differences between the Server and Cloud versions of the Zephyr Squad, some data will not be migrated. Please refer to the ‘Known issues and limitations’ section of the Cloud Migration Guide. Are there any alternatives to using JCMA? Yes.Zephyr Migration Tool by SmartBear is another solution for migrating Zephyr Squad data from Jira Server to Jira Cloud. This approach is recommended if JCMA isn't working for you, and your Jira instance is middle-sized with a few projects, as this migration utility can migrate Zephyr Squad data only for one project at a time. What if I need any help with the migration? If you require technical assistance, please check out the Cloud Migration FAQ or raise a ticket with our support team. Tell us a bit about your Cloud migration journey I’ll conclude this post with a question to you, our awesome community. What is your plan of action around migrations?

Hi everyone, right now, we are using Zephyr Scale Server in our company but we are (as a lot of users/companies probably are) evaluating the move to the cloud app. Now, regarding the traceability in the cloud app, I'm at a bit of a loss and maybe those, that already use the cloud app, can shed some light on this. Recently, we got a test account for the cloud app of Jira including Zephyr Scale and I have been looking into the differences between server and cloud. One thing that is very important to us as a financial service provider in Germany is the traceability between issues, test cases and test executions. I can link test cases to issues and link issues to test executions, just as I can do in the server app. In server, if you execute a test case covering an issue and you link another issue to the test execution, you automatically get the link between issue 1 and 2 (e.g. requirement and defect) shown in the respective issues. This does not seem to happen in cloud. All I get is the link to the impacted test execution. This means, that to trace the connection between requirement and defect I have to do a lot more work (clicks) than in server. For example, a defect is created from a test execution in Zephyr and assigned to a developer. He/she opens the issue and wants to know, which requirement is impacted by this defect. Since only the impacted test execution is shown in the defect, he/she has to click that, then click the corresponding test case and then go to the traceability tab of that test case to finally be able to get to the requirement. Also, I do not have the option to configure Zephyr in such a way, that test cases (including their execution history) are automatically linked to created defects (as 'blocked') which we use regularly to better manage re-tests of defects. So the question for all you cloud users out there. Am I missing something? Or is this really a limitation of the cloud app? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any info. 😉 Cheers JoshUnable to access Zephyr Squad Cloud API
Hi Team, I am unable to access any API from browser directly after logging into JIRA CLOUD. I want to access an API which gives me list of all executions and details absed on Jira issue key where issuetype is TEST. I have been able to achieve this via Zephyr Squad Server API but no luck from Cloud version of Zephyr Squad. <jira cloud url>/connect/public/rest/api/1.0/serverinfo --- Used this on browser and am getting wrong url error In case of Zephyr Squad Server, I used this and was able to get what was required: <jira server url>/rest/zapi/latest/traceability/executionsByTest?testIdOrKey=84016 Please let me know the Cloud equivalent of above url for Squad. I tried referring to API docs but it is not helpful. Thank you
Cypress - Zephyr integration | Gitlab CI pipeline
Hi, I have an automation suite which is hosted in Gitlab. I have schedules and they are running periodically. I wanted to have them in our test management system which is Zephyr Squad Cloud. In the documentation, I have seen that Junit format is supported and Cypress has capability to generate Junit report. But I am having problems with uploading some reports if they contain failure and if their name has some special chars like (underscore _, which is not listed under banned chars for JQL restrictions) I am wondering if any of you have such an integration. Here is the video: (124) Using Zephyr for Jira within CI/CD Pipelines - YouTubeSorting tests for execution in a folder
I have imported a number of tests in Zephyr Squad Cloud: I would like to sort by Summary, but I can't (no sort arrow). So I added Labels, which does have a sort arrow. But when I click on the arrow, incorrect sorting occurs. One way: The other way: Different but not sorted. Back in the old days there was a Reorder Executions, but it seems to be gone away: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
