Re-import Functionality: The updated Excel file can be re-imported to upload and update execution results and related details for test cases/step runs within the respective test cycle. The background process section will provide testers with any errors or warnings detected during the upload due to invalid or incorrect data. Audit logs will also record operations related to exporting and importing test cycles. Archive Enhancements Archive test cycles and test plans before deletion to prevent accidental data loss. Testers must archive test cycles or test plans before deleting them. Users with edit permissions can archive or unarchive them. Testers cannot modify the details of archived test cycles, their executions, or test plans. Testers can't import test executions for the archived test cycles and their executions. The archived test cycles or plans are not displayed on their list views and will be accessible through a dedicated view. Archived test cycles and their associated executions will appear with a grey background in the link section of the story, test plan or test case. Testers can generate reports to include or exclude archived test cycles and plans. Archived test cycles are tagged separately in the traceability report. Security Enhancements Users now have the option to mask sensitive information, such as API keys and authorization tokens, in header values or the webhook body when creating or editing a CI/CD rule. These masked values will remain hidden in the user interface and cannot be retrieved, providing an added layer of protection for sensitive data. The audit logs will not display the old and the new values in the rule history. Jira administrators can now control access to modify QTM4J project settings by assigning permissions to specific Jira groups. By default, users with Jira's Project Administrator and Browse Project permissions will continue to have access. These configurations are under the QTM4J Global Settings > General Configuration.

QMetry Test Management for Jira Cloud 4.12.0.1 Release Date: 2024-10-21 Summary: Removed Feature from UI Removed the 'External System Import' option from the Configuration menu. QMetry Test Management for Jira Cloud 4.12.0 Release Date: 2024-08-10 Summary: New Feature, Enhancements & Bug Fixes New Feature in Automation Introduced parameter 'automationHierarchy' that provides flexibility in deciding the TestCycle - Test Case - Test Step hierarchy created for the automation result upload of TestNG and JUnit frameworks. The automation hierarchy can take values 1, 2, and 3, each with specific behavior tailored for different frameworks; more details are available on the Automation API page. Introduced parameter 'appendTestName' that enables easier identification of automation test cases once uploaded to QTM4J. This parameter applies only for TestNG and JUnit framework uploads with automation hierarchy as 2 and 3. Teams utilizing the TestNG can choose to auto-append the Test Name before the Test Method Name to create QTM4J Test Case Summary during test results uploads. It makes it easier for testers to identify which test method belongs to which test while reviewing the TestNG results in QTM4J.  Teams using the JUnit can choose to auto-append the Test Suite Name before the Test Case Name to create QTM4J Test Case Summary during test results uploads. It makes it easier for testers to identify the automated test case belonging to which test suite while reviewing the JUnit results in QTM4J.  Users with Jira's Administer Project permissions can configure the default behavior for 'automationHierarchy' and 'appendTestName' independently for TestNG and JUnit automation uploads using the newly introduced Settings under the Automation API page. Users can bypass these default settings by providing parameters externally through the automation API or plugins during the automation uploads. The latest release is compatible with Maven Plugin version 2.0.12, QMetry For Jira Test Management Plugin for Jenkins version 1.25, and QMetry for Bamboo DevOps/CD Plugin version 1.1.11. The support for 'automationHierarchy' and 'appendTestName' parameters is now available in the following versions of the external plugins. New Features for Auto Generate Test Cases (QMetry Intelligence) Testers can now generate test steps using QMetry Intelligence (QI) based on the Test Case Summary and Description. Additionally, users can input a user story or user-provided description, along with the test case description, into QI to generate test steps. This option allows testers to create test steps aligned with the scope outlined in the test case summary and description. Usage Statistics: Testers and administrators can now view statistics on how the auto-generated test case feature is helping save time and effort for themselves and their project teams. QI Generated: Test cases created or updated using QI assistance are tagged as QI generated for easy identification and auditing. Testers can now filter test cases generated using QI assistance on the test case list screen. When testers do not select a folder during test case generation, the test cases are default tagged to the QI-generated folder. Direct Feedback: Testers can now share their improvement feedback from the QI interface about the generated test cases to help the QMetry product teams enhance the feature. New Features in Administration Project Administrators, i.e. users with QTM4J configuration modification rights, can now copy custom fields along with their list values within the following scopes:  Within the same project, i.e. from one module to another module. Across the different projects, i.e. from a module in the source project to selected modules in the destination project. Jira Administrators can now modify or remove the default keyword "Cloned", added as a prefix to the test case and test cycle summary when cloning them within the same project or across different projects. This setting is available under QTM4J Global Settings. Introduced attachment storage consumption reports for Jira administrators to track current storage utilization by project and asset type. The report also tracks the cumulative storage utilization trend monthly for one year, helping administrators predict future storage needs. Test Cycle and Test Execution Enhancements A timer (stopwatch) has been introduced on the execution screen for testers to automatically record the time spent executing a test case, enabling accurate measurement of the actual test execution duration. When auto propagation of step execution results to the test case is enabled, the timer will automatically stop if a step fails or is blocked. The project admins can configure these auto-stop settings based on their project workflow.  Project Admins configure the recording of the actual execution time only through the timer, preventing users from entering it manually to streamline the process. Additionally, the project administrators can set up a timer to automatically start when testers begin execution of any step in a test case.  Introduced date field 'Planned On' on the execution screen to enable testers to plan and track their assigned test executions on specific dates. The 'Planned On' and 'Executed On' dates now allow them to monitor both their planned and actual executions. The Test Case Execution reports can now be filtered based on the 'Planned on' date.  While cloning test cases individually or in bulk, testers can now choose to retain the linkage with associated stories, which helps maintain traceability. While creating a new version of the test case, testers can now choose to copy the linkages with associated stories from the previous version. While creating a test cycle and selecting test cases, testers can now hide already linked testcases from the selection list. It simplifies filtering and choosing test cases from multiple folders. The Status field can now be updated inline for Test Cases, Test Cycles, and Test Plans directly from the list and link screens, allowing users to quickly update the status of test assets without opening the detailed view for each item, improving efficiency. Testers can now inline-edit the Execution Assignee, Environment, Build, Planned On Date, and Actual Time fields for the most recent test case run directly from the List View on the Execution Screen. The Estimated Time on the Test Case details screen and the Actual Execution Time on the execution screen now accept time in the HH: MM: SS format, enabling testers to record both estimate and actual time more precisely, down to the second. Report Enhancements The graphical charts in the report are now accompanied by a tabular view, presenting a summary of counts and percentages to enhance the user viewing experience. The "Target vs. Actual Execution" gadget in the Test Execution report is now enhanced to empower QA teams to monitor current execution progress and understand the existing &determined test execution rates needed to meet delivery timelines based on the planned execution dates. Performance and Usability Enhancements  The project selection list now lets testers display only QMetry-enabled projects and mark projects as favorites, making searching easier. All execution-related settings, such as Auto Update Execution Results, Execution Result Quick buttons, Managing Execution Results, and new Timer Settings, are now merged under a single Execution Result menu, making it easier for admins to manage them.  The QMetry menu has been revamped to enhance performance, with project selection now visible above the menu items and consistently applied across both the module and configuration screens. The menu icons are introduced, which enable users to collapse the menu while accessing its options. User preferences for expanding nd collapsing the folder tree menu are now preserved, which leads to improved performance when loading module screens. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that led to an incorrect calculation of consolidated actual time for the test cycle when updating the actual time for individual test cases using bulk operations. Fixed a bug that allowed the creation of test assets for deleted Jira projects using API. Fixed a bug that prevented the export of test case runs from the execution screen to an Excel file from a project with more than 100 custom fields.  Fixed a bug that prevented users from correctly navigating to the relevant test case and test cycle details from the test execution status or assignee update email notifications. Fixed a bug that prevented uploading automation result files using Maven and Bamboo plugins when test case, cycle, or execution fields contained values with acute accent characters. This fix is part of Maven v2.0.12 and Bamboo Plugin v1.1.11.  Fixed a bug that displayed an incorrect error message when cloning more than the allowed number of test cycles using the Open API. Fixed bug that prevented bulk updating executions when filtered based on custom fields and selected using the 'Across All Pages' option. Fixed bug that prevented assigning test case type as automated or manual when creating or updating test cases using the Open API.

QMetry Test Management for Jira Cloud 4.8.0.1 Release Date: 2023-07-03 Summary: Minor Bug Fix Fixed a bug that prevented the display of test case, test cycle, and test plan folders for users when their Jira profile language was set to a language other than English, German, or Spanish. QMetry Test Management for Jira Cloud 4.8.0 Release Date: 2023-07-01 Summary: New Features, Enhancements & Bug Fixes New Features QMetry Intelligence Introduced an AI-powered, innovative approach to assess the flakiness of test cases by calculating a "Flaky Score" derived from their execution history; this insightful feature empowers testers with an ability to identify test cases whose future execution status is nondeterministic. A flaky test case refers to one that exhibits non-deterministic behavior when executed repeatedly within the same code and environment, resulting in intermittent successes and failures. The crucial first step towards gaining control over flaky tests is identifying them. Flaky tests have the potential to slow down testing pipelines and erode confidence in testing processes. Today determining test case flakiness requires a manual comparison of test results from multiple runs, which is time-consuming. However, with QMetry Intelligence, this process is now automated, saving valuable time and effort for testers and developers. QA Managers can define and configure settings according to their specific testing processes for calculating the flaky score, ensuring its relevance to their testing methodologies. Introducing the success rate for test cases, calculated based on their execution history, holds significant importance in the testing process. The success rate provides QA teams with a quantitative measure of the reliability and effectiveness of the test cases. The test case success rate is a crucial score for measuring test case execution performance, as a high success rate indicates a robust and dependable test case. On the other hand, a low success rate highlights potential issues or areas of improvement, signaling the need for further investigation and refinement. Spanish and German Language Support Users having their Jira language preference set to Español will see QTM4J in Spanish.

QMetry Test Management for Jira Cloud 4.6.0 Release Date: 2022-12-25 Summary: New Feature and Bug Fixes New Feature - Introducing Shareable Test Cases In a project, multiple test cases share some common steps. QTM4J now allows testers to create shareable test cases with common test steps and reuse them into other test cases as steps. Any updates to the shareable test case are auto-synced in the associated test cases. This feature makes testers more productive by eliminating the need to author and maintain repeated test steps in multiple test cases. Here are the key characteristics of the shareable test cases: Manage shareable test cases through a separate view within the test case module. Create a shareable test case from an existing test case or independently from a separate new section. Insert shareable test cases as steps into another test case of the same or cross-project to reuse common steps. Linking shareable test cases directly to a story or a test cycle for execution is not allowed. Updates to the shareable test case for a linked version are auto-synced to associated test cases. Sync the latest version of the shared test case directly from within the associated test cases. A shareable test case displays the key, name and version of all the test cases using it to enable testers easily find the references. During test execution, the test case containing shareable steps displays the steps as usual, along with a reference to the shared test cases. Shareable test cases can have parameterized steps and will refer to the parameter values from the test cases reusing it. Defining parameter values directly on a shareable test case is not supported. New import/reimport of test cases using shareable test case steps or independent shareable test cases is not supported. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that did not display the executed by value for some users in the exported execution summary reports. Fixed a bug that prevented uploading QAF automation results when the metainfo.json did not contain a metadata group.
