How to import Results using REST APIs?

Working Sample

Please look at Sample projects and Code snippets sections for a more concrete end-to-end example.

1. Use API Key for Importing Results

Please Generate API Key if you don't have for your selected project.

2. Import test results

Import process is divided into 2 parts.

Get Upload file URL
Upload your test result file to generated URL

2.1 Get Upload file URL

URL : {{JIRA Base URL}}/rest/qtm/latest/automation/importresults

Method : POST

Notes

zip file must contain files of same format given in the 'format' param.
Request must be contains form-data, json raw body payload is not supported.

Authorization

This Automation REST API is protected by the same restrictions which are provided via JIRA. This means that you need to log in in JIRA to access this API.

To supply basic Auth header, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Build a string of the form username:password

2. Base64 encode the string Encode

3. Supply an "Authorization" header with content "Basic " followed by the encoded string. For example, the string "fred:fred" encodes to "ZnJlZDpmcmVk" in base64, so you would make the request as follows.

 Authorization:  Basic ZnJlZDpmcmVk
