Integration with Zephyr Scale

Integration with Zephyr Scale allows you to automatically export test cases and launches from Allure TestOps to Zephyr Scale. You can use Allure Query Language to select the required set of data to be exported.

To enable this integration, you need to:

1. Add Zephyr Scale integration in the Allure TestOps administration panel.
2. Generate two API tokens in your Jira settings.
3. Enable the integration in Allure TestOps project settings using the generated API tokens.
4. Create one or more export rules in the integration settings.

Adding new integration

Allure TestOps provides two separate integration types for Zephyr Scale:

• Zephyr Scale for Jira Data Center (the self-hosted version of Jira)
• Zephyr Scale Cloud for Jira Cloud

• Zephyr Scale
• Zephyr Scale Cloud

1. Log in to Allure TestOps using an administrator account.

2. Click on your avatar and go to Administration → Integrations.

3. Click Add integration in the top right corner of the page.

4. In the resulting window, select Zephyr Scale.

5. Fill in the fields:

   • Name — a name to help you recognize this integration later.
   • Endpoint — a URL of your Jira Data Center instance.
   • Linked issue tracker — if you want to retain information about Jira issues linked to test cases when exporting them to Zephyr Scale, select your Jira integration here.

6. If your Jira Data Center instance uses a self-signed SSL certificate, select the Disable certificate validation checkbox.

7. Click Add integration.

1. Log in to Allure TestOps using an administrator account.

2. Click on your avatar and go to Administration → Integrations.

3. Click Add integration in the top right corner of the page.

4. In the resulting window, select Zephyr Scale Cloud.

5. Fill in the fields:

   • Name — a name to help you recognize this integration later.
   • Endpoint — a URL in the form of https://<yourcompany>.atlassian.net.

6. Click Add integration.

Getting API tokens

In order for Allure TestOps to be able to create test cases in Zephyr Scale, you need to generate two API tokens: one for Jira and one for Zephyr Scale. Additionally, remember the Jira username (email address) under which you are logged in, it will be used later.

Jira API token

1. Go to Account settings → Security → API tokens (or click here).
2. Click Create API token.
3. Enter a label to recognize this token later and click Create.
4. Click Copy to clipboard and save the token in a safe place.

Zephyr Scale access token

1. Click your Jira profile icon and select Zephyr Scale API Access Tokens (or go to https://<yourcompany>.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/com.kanoah.test-manager/api-access-tokens).
2. Click Create access token.
3. Click Copy and save the token in a safe place.

Enabling integration for the project

1. Go to the project settings.
2. Select Integrations.
3. Find the Zephyr Scale integration and click Add integration.
4. Enter the username of the account that was used to generate the API tokens.
5. Enter the Jira API token and the Zephyr Scale access token you previously generated.
6. Click Add integration.

If you want to link your test results to Zephyr Scale test cases by specifying Zephyr Scale IDs in your code, you need to add a test key mapping in your project settings:

1. Go to the project settings.
2. Select Test Key.
3. Enter the name of the label whose value will be used as a Zephyr Scale test case ID.
4. Select the Zephyr Scale integration as a test management system.
5. Click Submit.

Creating an export rule

1. Go to the project settings.
2. Select Integrations.
3. Click on the previously added Zephyr Scale integration.
4. Click on the TMS Sync tab on top.

A list of export rules will be shown where you can edit and delete previously created rules.

To create a new export rule, click Create.

In the resulting window, you will be able to select the Zephyr Scale project to which to export the data, and filter your Allure TestOps project's test cases using Allure Query Language to limit the set of test cases and launches that will be exported:

1. In the Project list, select the Zephyr Scale project to which you want to export data.
2. In the Test Case AQL box, enter an AQL query to select the test cases you want to export. If you leave this box blank, all test cases will be exported.
3. Optionally, in the Launches AQL box, enter an AQL query to limit the set of launches to be exported for the selected test cases. You can also disable exporting launches completely by selecting the Disable Launches sync checkbox.

Additionally, you can specify mapping settings to correctly match test case statuses between Allure TestOps and Zephyr Scale (see Mapping test case statuses for more information).

When you are finished, click the Submit button.

After the rule has been created and the test cases have been successfully exported, you can disable the export of new test cases that match that rule by selecting the Disable Test Case create checkbox. If this checkbox is selected, only the changes and launches of the previously exported test cases will be exported.

To disable the export rule without deleting it, select the Disable export checkbox.

Mapping test case statuses

Since Allure TestOps and Zephyr Scale may use different statuses for test cases, you can create mapping rules in the integration settings in Allure TestOps to match them.

Each mapping rule links two values: the status in Allure TestOps (Source) and the status in Zephyr Scale (Target). For example, you can create a rule that links the Outdated status in Allure TestOps to the Deprecated status in Zephyr Scale.

You can also set a default value to be used if a status is missing in the mapping rules. If you specify a source status but no target status, the status will be deleted on export.

One caveat is that you need to specify the IDs of Allure TestOps statuses instead of their names. To get the IDs, log in to Allure TestOps as administrator, click on your avatar, and go to Administration → Status. You can find the ID on the left side of the status.
