Inspiration

Coming up with a new feature that helps automate the full delivery cycle for CD.

What it does

Automation of test case execution using the JTAF framework(but not limited to) followed by automatically adding comments to JIRA tickets. This is to help determine/track the status of test cases(pass/fail) and provide transparency on the project test status, thus enabling decision making for proceeding with newer deployments.

How we built it

We created JAVA classes that implement the JIRA Rest API to communicate with JIRA and update comments on tickets.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out the JIRA Rest API syntax. Automation of updating other fields in JIRA(status, assignee), determining how to communicate with individual test cycles.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We submitted a project for our first Hackathon We can use this during test execution at FINRA.

What we learned

-How the JIRA rest API is used and communicates with web applications and how they are platform independent.

What's next for JTAF JIRA Plugin

Communicating with individual test cycles in JIRA to update the status of the test cases that were executed as part of the cycle. E-mail notification for failures.
