Responses

200 OK : application/json : Successful. The import job was created successfully and the Job Id is provided.

{
	"jobId":"34a4106b1d0948d1aae1170cc8df3bb4"
}

400 BAD_REQUEST : application/json : No import test job was created.The content may be in the wrong format or a job might already be in progress. Each user can only have one import job running at each given time. So if a job is running and the user tries to start another one, this will result in a 400 response. Also there is a maximum of 1000 tests that can be imported each time, if the input contains more tests than this, the request will also result in a 400 response.

{
	"error":"A job to import tests is already in progress (id: 34a4106b1d0948d1aae1170cc8df3bb4)."
}

PARAMETERS

When a job is created its status becomes available using this endpoint, it will remain so for approximately one day, after that the job status is removed.

The status field has one of the following values:

• pending: the job was created but is not running yet.
• working: the job is currently running.
• failed: the job ended in failure.
• successful: all tests were successfully imported and the job ended.
• partially_successful: some tests were imported sucessfully and some weren't and the job has finished.
• unsuccessful: no tests were imported and job has finished.

When the job ends, in the status the result will be returned. This result has 2 sections, the errors section and the issues section, the first one has all the tests that weren't imported along with the errors that prevented them from being imported, the second section has the information of the issues that were successfully imported along with the JIRA issue id, key and self URL. In both section the elementNumber field indicates the index of the test it refers to in the input.
