Automation requires a lot of maintenance effort. There's the need of doing refactoring at many different levels, including at the specification level. This is even more true if you're adopting BDD and Cucumber. As your projects growIf you've adopted BDD and Cucumber, the number of Cucumber Scenarios/Backgrounds will also increase , as will also the amount of Cucumber steps used by them.Since (Cucumber) as your project grows. Since Cucumber steps can, and shall, be used across different test specifications, you may need to do some refactoring on your existing steps in order to avoid duplicates and as means to foster reusability.

Thus, the The Automated Steps Library provides one a central place to see view and manage all the Cucumber steps used in the context of some a given project, allowing . This will allow you to classify/label steps and , refactor them (update, merge). You can even , and quickly identify the entities using those stepsthat use them.

Steps are added automatically to the Automated Steps Library upon the creation/edition of when Tests or Pre-Conditions . As soon as they're are created or updated. Once in the library, they can be used afterwards for easing the creation/updating of to create/update Cucumber Tests/Pre-Conditions, using autocomplete and filtering steps based on labels.

You can now be much more proficient efficient using the enhanced editor for Cucumber based Tests/Pre-Conditions , right inside Jira.

Xray provides you with powerful capabilities for users to analyze test results and test coverage on a per Test Environment basis. You can easily understand how tests and requirements are faring on specific target environments.

To answer the needs of our customers dealing with many Applications and Test Environments, we have built an integration with Apwide Golive, a Jira app with advanced Environment and Release Management functionalities.

On the Xray screens, the QA team knows as soon as an Environment becomes unstable or when the wrong version of an application is deployed. Efficiency increases with clickable links to access the Environments and the possibility to book dedicated Environments for test campaigns.

Test Executions and Test Plans are now planned on a Timeline with drag-and-drop and Xray issues dates are automatically updated. Jira filters can be used to obtain a real-time list of bugs that can be tested on a specific environment, taking into consideration the deployed version and the environment status. You can easily understand how tests and requirements are faring on specific target environments.

Two new gadgets so you can easily to track your QA progress in your Jira dashboards: Requirements List Gadget and the Overall Test Results Gadget.

The Requirements List Gadget provides an enhanced list of requirements, including hierarchical information (e.g., Epic > Story), along with completeness information and respective amount number of Tests, analyzed in the context of some version or Test Plan. This information is similar to the one seen at the end of the page in the Overall Requirement Coverage Report whenever drilling-down on some requirements.

The Overall Test Results Gadget provides an overview of the status of some Tests, in the context of a version or Test Plan. Thus, you can see the amount number of Tests currently passing that passed or failingfailed, using displayed in a pie chart or in a table layout.

As more and more people use more often the the hierarchical test organization through the via the Test Repository and the Test Plan Board, we introduce a new flattened view eases the for easy visualization and selection of all the Tests underneath some folder, including its sub-folders.

While the default hierarchical view provides a way to see how Tests are organized, the new "Flat View" provides the means to obtain all Tests underneath within a given folder, eventually filter them using some criteria, select a subset of those and then do operations with them, no matter in which regardless of the folder they're stored in.
