Is it possible to add fields to the Zephyr "Test Execution" screen?

[David Buonomano]

I'd also like to add my vote to this request. Ideally I'd like the same abilities as the existing JIRA search issues page, to be able to add any field (system or custom) as a column and order them through a similar UI.

[Joseph Van Der Wee]

I agree, searchable custom Test Execution fields would be awesome.

[Vasu Belide]

I would vote for this feature as well.

Even the build number in the Test Exection screen

[Alejandro Marcos]

Sarma, we add a custom field "Pre-condition" and we use it in every test case but we can t see it when we execute them, that s why we ask to see it on execution

[Sarma Josyula]

We also need the feature to add pre-conditions to the test case creation. Like always we need it ASAP. Is there a short term workaround to achieve this? Thanks

[Chris Miller]

Sarma,

Zephyr Testcases are just like any other issue type in JIRA. So make a request to your JIRA admin to add a "Precondition" JIRA custom field to the Zephyr Testcase Issue Type create screen.

Kind Regards,

Chris

[Thomas Krawczyk]

How about being able to assign a person to an Execution? You can use Assignee in the Jira issue but this covers the whole Test not the specific Execution.

[Jessica Sullivan]

This would be a great feature that we could use as well.

[PoojaK]

Hi , @Thomas Krawczyk : This feature is now available in zephyr for jira 3.0 . Please download the same from https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.thed.zephyr.je/versions and let me know if you still have any issues Kind Regards Pooja

[Alejandro Marcos]

I'd like this feature too, we have a pre-conditions field on test case creation and we'd need it on execution screen, Make sense?

Thanks

[Tim Smith]

I'd like this as well.

[Julien Pellier]

I agree too. Precondition and Postcondition are important.

[Liliia]

I vote too! Preconditions is essential part of test cases. Please, add it to feature request.

[Tim Nicolson]

I need this feature too.

[Christopher]

I vote for that new feature.

Hi All,

PFB a JavaScript code I have written, which can display JIRA fields in Zephyr Execution Screen as shown here. You may modify the custom_field_ids and use it as a Temporary solution.

Meanwhile please vote for the actual feature at :

https://trello.com/c/fIQm7Okq/131-display-jira-native-custom-fields-in-test-execution-page

AJS.$(document).ready(function(){
if (AJS.$(".execute-test-header-left a").length != 0) //Execute only on Test Execution Screen{ getIssueDetailsFunction();

quality_dimension = "customfield_11135"; test_case_id = "customfield_11151";}});

function  getIssueDetailsFunction(){

issueLink = AJS.$(".execute-test-header-left a").attr("href") // Eg : "/browse/ETFQAMDB-36655"

if (issueLink !=  null) { window.issueKey = issueLink.substr(issueLink.lastIndexOf("/") + 1); //console.log("============= Defect Key = " + issueKey + "===========");
if (issueKey != null)  Issuedetails = getIssueDetails(issueKey);

displayJiraCustomFields();}}

function getIssueDetails(issueKey){

var details; AJS.$.ajax({ url: contextPath +  "/rest/api/2/issue/" + issueKey, type: 'get', dataType: 'json', async: false, success: function(data) { details = data; } });   return details;}

// Displays JIRA Custom Fields in Zephyr Execution Screen. function displayJiraCustomFields() {

if ( AJS.$(".myNewClass").length == 0 ) {
CustomDisplayText = ''; test_case_id_val = ''; quality_dimension_val = '';

if ( Issuedetails.fields[test_case_id] != null ) { // Test Case ID

test_case_id_val = Issuedetails.fields[test_case_id] ;  }

if ( Issuedetails.fields[quality_dimension] != null ) { // Quality Dimension

quality_dimension_val = Issuedetails.fields[quality_dimension].value ;  }

if ( test_case_id_val != '' || quality_dimension_val != '' ) {

var descriptionDiv = AJS.$(".aui-item.execution-right-side-container").find(".module.toggle-wrap:eq(1)");

var clonedSection = descriptionDiv.clone();

clonedSection.addClass("myNewClass");

clonedSection.insertBefore( AJS.$(".module.toggle-wrap.date-time") );
AJS.$(".myNewClass .mod-header .toggle-title").text("JIRA Custom Fields");

if(test_case_id_val != '' )

{ CustomDisplayText = CustomDisplayText.concat("Test Case ID : " + test_case_id_val) }

if( CustomDisplayText != '') CustomDisplayText = CustomDisplayText.concat("</br>");
if(quality_dimension_val != '' )

{ CustomDisplayText = CustomDisplayText.concat("Quality Dimension : " + quality_dimension_val) }
if( CustomDisplayText != '') CustomDisplayText = CustomDisplayText.concat("</br>");
AJS.$(".myNewClass .mod-content #comment-val").html(CustomDisplayText); AJS.$(".myNewClass .mod-content #comment-val").css("line-height","1.23") }

} }

[Diego Menendez]

How can i use this script? tried tampermonkey but it sais is invalid
Thanks!

[majofrancis]

Hi Diego,

I assume the problem the problem would be with the usage of 'AJS.$'. Its supported in JIRA webpage whereas normal jquery (in Tampermonkey) uses '$'  

Its best to experiment with the script in web browser developer console of of your JIRA application.

[Suhas P]

Any update on this important feature?

[Jayesh Wankhade]

What you are looking for?

[Suhas P]

Hi Jayesh,

I am looking for Jira custom field to be available as a field in Zephyr test execution window and ability to select that column in List view, when i select a cycle. As we have one of the JIRA custom field as a unique identifier and that field is needed during the test execution.

Thanks,

Suhas

PS: we are using Zephyr for JIRA server.

[Adrian.Cabusas]

Hi @Suhas P did you find away to solve your problem?
I have a similar if not exact same issue.

Thanks
Adrian

[Domenico Torre]

I have putted in the filed description the "panel" and i have inserted in the panel:title= "Start condition" and the condition in the field "no forther formatting is done here"

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Yeah you can add custom field in Zephyr as well but you should have Administrator rights to add that. You can ask JIRA Administrator add the field for you

1. You will find the option in JIRA settings --> Zephyr custom fields. 

Once you added the custom field, you can enable it in your project.

2. Select the project, goto project settings --> Zephyr custom field --> Enable it.

Please refer screen shots as well.

[Jayesh Wankhade]

@Suhas P Check this out if this will helpful.

[Suhas P]

@Jayesh Wankhade , Thanks for your prompt response.Yes, we can include the zephyr custom fields. But i don't see an option to sync the JIRA custom field value to the Zephyr custom field. 

Thanks,

Suhas

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Let me know if you want to discuss this personally we can together solve it.

[Suhas P]

Sure @Jayesh Wankhade 

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Please just send an email to me on jayeshwankhade13@gmail.com

[Adrian.Cabusas]

Hi I am looking to do the same.

I have an "acceptance criteria" - free text field in the TEST issue type, which was a field created in JIRA.
I want this "acceptance criteria" field to be able to be seen on the test execution screen in Zephyr.

Is there a process to map or link so the data from the free text field appear in the test execution screen?

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Hi @Adrian.Cabusas 

You can add custom filed and also use the same while execution as well. You can see above how to add custom fields. Check the below screenshots to check how it will show while execution.

Please let me know if you still have any issues.

[Jayesh Wankhade]

Yeah we need to have precondition as a custom filed for every test step like we have currently Test Data filed.

[Jayesh Wankhade]

I got the success to add the custom step. Please see my other comments as well. 

[Thuy Thanh]

I really need Precondition field is a part of test case, too. And "build version" is additional. 

Please provide. So many people need it.

[Arun_Thundyill_Saseendran]

@Cormac Flood, I understand the frustration and I am equally frustrated since we are not able to make an important production move because of the lag of this feature. 

I even raised a support request with Zephyr and this was their response.

Hi Arun,

I have raised a Feature Request on your behalf with ID FR-60  please keep this for your reference.
Our Product Management team has been made aware of this feature request. They will review the same for consideration. We appreciate your valuable feedback in making Zephyr for Jira better.


Please note all Feature request  can only be tracked internally. Other user do not have access to the internal FR URL. 

Seemingly, a few of the admins I know are evaluating the Test Management for JIRA from Adaptavist (The Makers of Script Runner) and the results are pretty positive. You can know more about it here.

Further, @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- or anyone from Adaptavist team would be able to answer your specific queries. They are quite active in the community too.

[Cormac Flood]

Thank you so much for the update Arun! I wish Zephyr replied as quickly or as informatively :-)

I will follow your advice.

All the best,

Cormac

[Arun_Thundyill_Saseendran]

@Cormac Flood thanks.  Will keep you updated on the status in the same thread.

If you think the answer would help others too, please mark this answer as accepted.

[Rajesh Gupta]

Its 4+ years now since the request was first raised. any updates here ?

[Cymotive Devops]

Just a loud ignorance...

Is Zephyr the new HP(MicroFocus) QC?

[Simon Madsen]

Having the ability to add custom fields to the test execution, is a must. We work will a multi-component setup where each piece of hardware/software has a version/build number. Capturing those in separate fields so they are searchable in JIRA, is key to the tool's usefulness. For instance, searching for executions for tests with v 1.2 and which ones failed, compared to v 1.3, is a really useful feature.

[Cormac Flood]

Out of interest - has anyone ever had a feature request implemented by Zephyr? This looks like yet another request where years go by without addressing the issue. This particular request is 4 years old! Zephyr looks good from an evaluation point of view, but once you start using it you see its limitations and no amount of feature requests will ever fix it. In short - ok product, terrible support.

[Sven Schrade]

We are evaluating this software at the moment. It is a great Add-On for JIRA.

But we can't use it properly without custom fields like precondition for each test step.

What is the status of this feature request?

We really would buy and use this software, but without this feature, we have to use another software.

Sure would be nice to have a build number with the execution info
