Frequently Asked Questions

What permissions do I need to use the QaSpace plug-in?

Permissions in our plug-in is aligned with JIRA permissions scheme. If you don't have some of permission that the plug-in requires the warning sign (see an icon bellow) will be displayed just to the right of "Create test case" button. All necessary permissions will be listed in its tool-tip (just hover on the icon).

I can not see QaSpace board for the project I want.

Open Projects on main JIRA menu bar and choose a project you want to open QaSpace board for.

Test issues are appearing on my Agile board.

This is natural, as Test issues are much like any JIRA issues, and Agile board definitions include all issue types. But you can change this behavior easily, if you're the owner of the board:

1. Select "Configure Board" in the Board drop-down:

2. Follow the "Edit filter query" link:

3. Select the issue types you want to see on the Agile board.

Alternatively, you can exclude "Test" issues if you switch to Advanced view (some JQL knowledge required)

4. Save your changes, and reload the board.

Do you have an API for automated tests?

We have an REST API for automation - it is simple and tool-independent.

I don't see tests (summaries) on Library view.

The most likely "Header Background Color" (on your JIRA instance) is set as white in Administration>System>Colors. Our plugin is attuned with JIRA color styles in order to apply your customize color scheme. Test's summary uses the same color as JIRA header. So white on white is not visible and could be seen only when is being highlighted (by selecting).

So changing "Header Background Color" to any color different from white should help.

Where could I store test data for each Test?

While importing test-suit from excel file you are able to populate "description" field with any related test data. It will be available as standard JIRA "Description" field both on JIRA detail page and the plugin's Right side panel (left click on any Test issue ID). Edit it directly from our the Test issue card.

Could I customize plug-in's appearance?

Yes, you are able to do it in Administration>System>Colors. Styles that you are set there will be applied on QaSpace pages.

Can I find requirement using JQL search?

Among with introduction of new Requirement functionality we added ability to search test cases which are related to requirement issue.

Open Issues->Search for issues, switch to the Advanced mode and type to the search line folowing request

"Test requirement" in ("PK-1","PK-2")

PK-1 and PK-2 - keys of your requirement issues
