How to Retrieve Call Test References for a Specific Test in Xray Cloud?

[Huzaifa Ahmed]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project where I need to retrieve the call test references for a specific test case in Xray Cloud. I've been using the getExpandedTest GraphQL query with the fields calledTestIssueId and parentTestIssueId, but it doesn't seem to provide the correct call test references.

I have noticed that on UI it uses this internal endpoint, and it returns the correct references. But as this is an internal endpoint, I am assuming it's not accessible.

Does anyone know of a reliable way to fetch the call test references for a specific test case? Is there a specific endpoint or query that I should be using for this purpose?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Huzaifa Ahmed 

unfortunately I do have several (older) profiles in the community and as the mention in your question points to another profile i didn´t get any notification.

Luckily I stumbled over this question anyways :D

so....so get it right:

Let´s say we have a testcase TC-1. This testcase is called within 2 other testcases (TC-2 and TC-3).

Your requirement is that you would like to query the usage of TC-1 - so doing a query on TC-1 that returns TC-2 and TC-3 (as TC-1 is called there).

Did I get that wright?

Hi @Stefan Salzl 

Thank you for your response, yes you got the scenario correct. On UI Xray has internal api call `call-test-references` which returns this information.

Hi @Stefan Salzl

I would really appreciate your suggestion on a workaround for this flow. My use case is to determine where this test is being called from (all of it's parent tests).

Thank you!

Hi @Huzaifa Ahmed 

I guess I understood it the same way than you did:

I tried to get the "expandedStep" via method "getExpandedTest". As described in the documentation (according to my logic) I expected the "parentTestIssueId" to deliver this result - which it does not :(

As this is a problem in a 3rd party app and I can´t see any other option to solve this - would you mind raising a ticket at vendor´s support page?
