Zephyr for Jira Test Automation Workshop

Attendees will learn about all the features that Zephyr for Jira has for supporting test automation. Attendees will be equipped with the knowledge on how to integrate Zephyr for Jira into their chosen test automation framework, so that both manual and automated test results can be seen together. We show the CI/CD plugins in action, along with the APIs.

Course Summary

This course is ideal for test teams and managers who want to be trained all the automation features of Zephyr for Jira, and get advice on best practice.

Attendees will learn how Zephyr for Jira can be used to report on test automation, and gain hands-on experience working with the various APIs and plugins that Zephyr makes available. We will discuss how Zephyr structures its reporting results, and how the automation framework injects data into these reports. There are various APIs and plugins and we give examples for all of them. Attendees will go through exercises where they will use a CI/CD tool (typically Jenkins or Bamboo - please see below) to create build jobs and post results back into Zephyr. We also cover A.T.O.M and ZBot task execution and configuration. We will also recap how REST and JSON work.
