Xray Tables Filtering

SQL Connector for Jira Cloud offers

Status
colourBlue
titleGLOBAL
and
Status
titleLOCAL
filters:

  • Status
    colourBlue
    titleMODIFIED FROM

  • Status
    titleTEST TYPE

  • Status
    titleTESTS

  • Status
    titleTEST EXECUTIONS

  • Status
    titleTEST RUN ASSIGNEES

Global and Local Filters.gifImage Added

If you apply the

Status
colourBlue
titleMODIFIED FROM
filter, it will be applied to all Xray tables. If the filter is not needed for a specific table, you can deselect it individually for each table.

Modified from.gifImage Added

There are also JQL and Basic filters available to apply. Unlike the

Status
colourBlue
titleMODIFIED FROM
filter, JQL and Basic filters are applied to the Jira issue itself. The
Status
colourBlue
titleMODIFIED FROM
filter is applied to Xray fields.

Info

The JQL and Basic filters are only applied to the following tables:

  • Tests

  • Test Steps

  • Preconditions

  • Test Preconditions 🔗

  • Test Set Tests 🔗

  • Test Plan Tests 🔗

  • Test Plan Executions 🔗

  • Test Plan Folders

  • Test Execution Tests

  • Test Execution Environment

  • Test Step Attachment

Filter Options.gifImage Added

As per linking tables, JQL or Basic filter is applied to the main table only. All linking tables are marked with the link icon 🔗.

Info

For example, the Test Preconditions 🔗 table links the Test issue types (Xray tests) and the Precondition issue types. In this case, only the Test issue types will be filtered by JQL or Basic filter. This means you’ll get all the Test issue types that match the specified filter along with their preconditions.

The

Status
titleTEST TYPE
filter allows selecting the specific type of tests for export: Manual, Generic, or Cucumber. You can select only one type at once.

Test Type.gifImage Added

The

Status
titleTEST
filter allows selecting the specific test(s) for export.

The

Status
titleTEST EXECUTIONS
filter allows selecting the specific test execution(s) for export.

The

Status
titleTEST RUN ASSIGNEE
filter allows selecting certain test run(s) for export performed by a specific user (assignee).

Local Filters.gifImage Added

If you need to export test runs for specific tests, simply select them using the Tests filter.

Tests.gifImage Added

If the specific tests you need to export are already grouped within a single test execution, just select that test execution using the Test Executions filter. You can select a few test executions.

Info

When selecting a specific test execution in the Test Executions filter, and then selecting tests in the Tests filter that don't belong to the specified test execution, the exported table will be blank as a result.

Tests Executions.gifImage Added

If you need to export test runs assigned to a specific user, select their name in the Test Run Assignees filter. You can select a few assignees.

Info

When selecting a specific assignee’s name in the Test Run Assignees filter, and then selecting tests in the Tests filter, the exported table will be blank as a result (the same logic is applied for selecting test executions).
