Custom fields
We have introduced multiple custom fields in order for the app to be fully functional. These fields allow us to ensure the highest level of efficiency in testers’ workflow and a smooth details flow, which prevents a disorganized testing process.
Caution
The listed custom fields are locked fields - they can only be added to selected screens. Locked fields are a part of the app and cannot be deleted from Jira. Users can fill them in, however they cannot change the custom fields names
| Custom field | Where? | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ATM Environment | Test Executions,Test Case Executions & Defects | Collects environments. Admins can define them on the Environments page. |
| ATM Precondition | Test Cases & Test Case Executions | Defines the criteria that must be met before starting the test execution. |
| ATM Test Cases | Test Plans and Test Executions items | Collects issues that are defined as Test Cases. |
| ATM Test Plans | Test Cases | Collects issues that are defined as Test Plans. |
| ATM Test Type | Test Cases | Defines the nature of the Test Case. For now, this field is set to Manual for all Test Cases. |
| ATM TE Status | Test Executions | Shows the status of Test Execution. For now, the statuses are predefined. |
| ATM TE Progress | Test Executions | Shows the progress based on Test Case Executions. |
Caution
Disclaimer: ATM Test Plans and ATM Test Cases fields can only be edited in the Create work item dialog window. On the work item view they are read-only fields - the values showed in them are taken based on the actions from the Test Management panel. Additionally, the ATM Test Type field is read-only.
Search in JQL
The use of custom fields throughout the app allows the users to quickly retrieve specified information with a use of advanced JQL search. Two examples are portrayed below - more details regarding using JQL in search with app custom fields can be found here.
Caution
For the custom fields:
- ATM Test Plans
- ATM Test Cases
The search in issue navigator shows the work item ID of these elements. To search the work item appearing in either of the custom fields, type in:
issue = [issueID]
Find testing items that have been assigned to staging environment
Test Environment = stagingSearch for Test Executions with status ‘Fail’
TE Status = fail
