The execution screen of Cucumber Tests (i.e. Scenario/Scenario Outline) now contains information on all steps that were executed, including elapsed time and execution status.

Besides this, all the steps from associated Background(s) that were executed are also enumerated along with respective information.

Cucumber hooks

 

Column

Column

Cucumber tests may have before/after hooks; although hooks are more implementation related and not specification related, we also present them since they may give valuable information about the test run.

Section

Tests List gadget

 

Column
width60%

Now, you can list the Tests and choose exactly how to analyze them as you do in the Tests project tab. This is awesome because you can now use this gadget to see the status of your Tests for the version you want and eventually have several gadgets for showing the results for the different Test Environments you're running them on.

This new gadget replaces the old way of listing Tests, by using the JIRA's Filter Results gadget and including the TestRunStatus. That approach was a bit limited since the "TestRunStatus" is a calculated field that shows you the latest status of the test for some version depending on some global behavior that you need to configure administratively.

With the Tests List gadget, you have the flexibility of choosing the version and the Test Environment where you want to see the latest status of your tests.

Improvements in the integration with Xporter add-on including Test Plans awareness

 

Column
width50%

 


Column
width50%

If you have Xporter add-on you will now be able to build out nice reports in Word/PDF containing information about your Test Plans.

Besides it, we have now exposed information about all associated Pre-Condtions to your Tests, since a Test may have more than one Pre-Conditon.

Please visit Xporter Template Store to obtain new and updated templates, under the "Test & QA" section.

Improvements in the integration with Structure add-on

 

Column
width50%

If you have Structure add-on you will now be able to also see and manage the relation between Tests and Pre-Conditions and Sub Test Executions, besides what was already possible with Xray v2.1 (Test Sets, Test Execution or Test Plans).

If you drag a Test into an issue of those types it will be associated with it. And of course, if you remove a Test from an Pre-Condtion/Sub Test Execution issue its association will also be removed.

No more automatic reindexes. You decide when to reindex.

 

Column

Column
width60%

Changing some settings in Xray administration preferences would automaticaly trigger a reindex. This could affect users, since a reindex could take a considerable amount of time.

Now the administrator is notified that a reindex should be done and then he decides when it is done, so it does not impact JIRA users.

Improved Continuous Integration, including a new Maven Plugin

 

Column
width100%

We aim to make the life of developers/testers easier. In parallel to Xray, we are now releasing a new Maven plugin that can be easily integrated with your existing Java projects.

Besides it, we will also update the Jenkins and Bamboo add-ons in the upcoming days, in order to support the ability of specifying the fixVersion of the Test Execution that is going to be created.
