XRAY-I want to automate adding test cases to a story/taks

Question

We are using XRAY for manual testing.

QA planning is done at the execution level so all test cases are first added.

I want to automate adding test cases to a story/task test coverage by selecting all cases included in an execution.

Or what other way do we have to link a set of test cases (that are not part of a test set) to their corresponding story/task?

Hi @Andrea Pareja

How are test cases created at the moment? Could you describe your current process/standard operating procedure in a few sentences?

From my point of view it would make sense the other way round than you described - create test cases out of stories/tasks which links them automatically to that issue. Afterwards you could create the test execution with all the test cases from a specific story/task.

Hi @Andrea Pareja

I hope to be of assistance.

If I understood correctly you want, in the context of a Story, to be able to add Tests to that story for coverage purposes.

Please note that what @Stefan Salzl mentioned is accurate as you want to specify which requirements you want testing and start from there, not the other way around.

However, should use the instance as a Test Repo and want to match the planned executions to Story Requirements at a later stage one way to do it is by using a JQL to add those tests. Example:

Test Execution "X" is a phase 1 login test scenario. Add a label to all those tests with "LoginPhase1". Then in the Story issue type, click the button "Test Coverage" followed by "Add Existing Tests" and use the JQL "issuetype = Test AND labels = LoginPhase1"

I hope it helps, best, Francisco.
