One of the use cases for the Scheduled Reports feature of Xporter could be the health check of the QE efforts within a sprint, especially for stakeholders who do not yet have access to Jira. That would have the benefits of consolidating the important metrics and presenting them in the clear format directly to the stakeholder inbox.
In this tutorial, we will go through the Scheduled Reports prerequisites and configuration for that use case.
You should then see the Xporter section in Project Settings
Definition of “QE health” can be subjective, so feel free to customize the number and types of the templates. We will be using Defect Summary, Requirement Report, and Test Runs List. You can only select 1 template per scheduled report, so we will add 3 items using the “ + Add” button above.
The content of the Details section is mostly personal preference. In the Scheduled section, assuming the sprint duration is 14 days and we initiate the configuration a sprint in advance, we can set up the following “Advanced” cron expression to control the frequency: 0 0 12 */14 * ?
In the Export Data section, we can use the following JQL expressions (please refer to the template content for the full list of supported issue types):
Since these queries can be useful for direct export and other Jira/Xray features, we recommend saving it as filters.
Lastly, in the Actions section, we will add the “Send Email” action with the list of stakeholders:
In the final state, the Scheduled Reports section of your project settings should look like this:
