How do I add variables to a test in XRAY?

[Daniel Cottrell]

We're in the process of moving our testing across to JIRA and XRAY, from HP ALM (Quality Center). We're trying to figure out how to do a number of things we do in ALM but in JIRA. We're doing manual testing, not automated. I don't know if we have access to any other JIRA software such as Bamboo / Cucumber so I'm just hoping to do this using JIRA and XRAY.

1) How do I add variables to scripts so that a fixed value appears in my scripts during execution?

2) How do I add screenshots from the clipboard directly into an execution? If we have to upload the image from the hdd it will take much longer for us to execute scripts so we're very keep to find out how to do this.

There is still the open feature ticket https://jira.xpand-it.com/browse/XRAY-1734

It should be part of the next major release.

Best regards

Hi CloudStrife,

1. Xray does not yet support test parameterization although we aim to address in the short term. For now, you may add the parameters in the comments section within the Test Run (in the execution screen of a given Test/Test Execution).

2. You can simply do a clipboard paste (use control+v in Windows) in the execution screen of a given Test Run

Best regards,

Xray Team

I'm just glad to get a definitive answer.

We can do parameters if we can get access to Cucumber? I doubt we will get that but just asking.

Cheers.

Hi,

If you use Cucumber Scenario Outlines, you'll have a sort of test parameterization. The data, in this case, would be specified within the Examples section of the Cucumber Scenario Outline based test.

Hi,

Is parameterization still in development?

Didn't realize this was an answer box, please could someone delete this?
