Use Case: TestRail Integration With Jama Connect
Problem statement: As the test management system and requirement management system are not integrated, the product teams using the requirement management system don’t have visibility into the testing progress. Lack of this information impacts their overall management of the application lifecycle.
Solution: Integrating Jama Connect and TestRail helps product team get real-time insights into the testing progress and efficiently manage the application lifecycle.
- The test team creates a Test Suite in TestRail for carrying out tests on multiple requirements. The Test Suite synchronizes to Jama Connect as a Test Plan. The Test Plan gives visibility to the product team into the QA timelines.
- The test team then creates Test Sections within the Test Suite to logically bifurcate different kinds of tests. The Test Sections synchronize to Jama Connect as Test Groups.
- The test team, then writes Cases (and includes them within the respective Test Sections). The cases synchronize to Jama Connect as Test Cases. The Product Manager, at this stage, can provide suggestions to the test team in case he/she sees a scope of improvement.
- The test team, then, starts executing the Tests by creating Test Run of the related Test Suite. The Test Run (which consists of multiple tests) synchronizes to Jama Connect as Test Cycle. The Tests from Test Rail synchronize to Jama Connect as a Test Run.
- When the test team completes the execution of the Test Run or finishes a particular Test, they update the Test Result (s) and that result value is updated in Status field (Steps) of Test Run in Jama Connect.
