Does Zephyr for JIRA support shared test steps?

JulioV

Is there an ability to link to shared test cases/steps, for example:

If we have a test case for the JIRA product called "Create an Issue" and the first steps of that test case is to login, for which we have a test case already created with the login steps called "JIRA login", can you reference that shared login test case in other test cases so that when the login steps change, they are only needed to be changed in one place?

If this feature is not available, can it be added as a new feature request?

Thanks!

Hi Julio,

This isn't currenlty supported in Zephyr for JIRA. I will add it to the feature request list, but however I want to caution you that this will be lower on the feature request list than others due to the complexity of the implimentation.

Kind Regards,

Chris

Is there any update on this Feature Request? This is a feature that would help us out to be able to section out things so we didn't have to either change large numbers of test cases, or know that those test cases had bad information.

Thanks,

This would be a nice feature to have... Can you recommend any work arounds please?

The only way we have been able to work around this is by cloning the test cases. This is not ideal because it causes you to know that the test cases will become out of date. They could create a Shared Step section to hold the shared steps (like Microsoft Test Manager), or they could link steps to other test cases because you will have to run those basic steps at some point in regression. Either way would give nice functionality.

Following. We need this too as this would prevent cumbersome job of cloning test case and modifying only relevant steps.

Absolutely needed in the process we build tests for. Being able to string tests in an order so if a test is changed, that is changed for executing all strings. Same for test steps if could link to another test that remains constant other than changing something like URL.

Any update on this?

Following this too. We need to migrate shared steps from MTM to Zephyr. This functionality is essential for us.

Following this too, We need it, if some steps change we need to be able to this change to all, and create share steps like MTM so create a step like login and inside of this, you will find all steps to do a login.

This is an enormous product gap. Copy test steps is only 10% of the battle. If I have 100 tests and I need to change the way someone logs in to a website, for example, then i have to go to 100 tests and update them manually. Sorry that's a show stopper for out team.

Totally agree!

ALM had some similar functionality (the old Quality Centre) - while writing a test you could go and select a pre-existing step from another test case and add it into the actual test case - this way we would not have to write duplicated steps hundreds of times (e.g. Login)

Still no updates?! This thread started back in 2013 - 6 years later = same old status! Not good.

Stephanie Carder

There are a lot of people that would like this functionality that is available through other Jira test case management plug-ins. Why this has not been added to Zephyr is beyond me. Listen to your users and/or potential users!

Jonas Jørgensen

I urgently need this feature as well. I'm coming from Quality Center and MS Test Manager that have had this feature for a looong time. What are you waiting for?

@Valeriu Jecov Hi, do oyu know if such a feature has been added to Zephyr or not?

the tema that I am providing Zephyr to asked to come up with library of steps or sharing pre-exesting steps but i cannot find anything on the internet?

thanks.

vafa_abadi

any updates on this one? I need a feature offering pre-written/pre-exesting test steps to be added to the new test test cases saving the Zephyr users from writing repetitive test steps all the time?

Has this been implemented yet?
