September 13, 2020 - Zephyr for Jira Cloud 7.1.1

• Test Automation improvements:
  • A.T.O.M has been renamed to Test Automation. Test Automation is now always available for all of your Jira projects, you do not need to enable it manually per project.
    
    
    
  • The Create Automation Task dialog now properly reflects custom required fields configured in your Jira instance. Also, we've redesigned this dialog to match the Jira UX style.
  • The ZBot download link is now in the Create Automation Task dialog as well:
    
    
    

• Improved CI/CD integration. We've created a special script to help you integrate Zephyr for Jira with your CI/CD workflow without installing additional plugins. You can use this script with Bamboo, Jenkins, or any other CI/CD systems to create automation tasks and push automated test results to Zephyr after the code is built and the automated tests are executed. See Continuous Integration for details.

  The existing Zephyr for Jira plugins for Bamboo and Jenkins remain and will continue working. However, we recommend that all customers try the new post-build action scripts to avoid plugin dependencies.

• Improved onboarding experience:
  • New onboarding pages for Test Automation, BDD, Continuous Integration, and REST API to help users get started. These pages are available under the Integrations menu in Zephyr for Jira.
    
  • The What's New page where you can read more about new features in a release:
    
    
    
• Other improvements:
  • When you create a Zephyr test from a Jira issue, the Test issue type is now selected by default.
  • UX/UI improvements.
• The ZAPI plugin has been deprecated in favor of the built-in REST API. Uninstall the ZAPI plugin to ensure you are accessing the built-in REST API.

Bug fixes

• Fixed re-indexing issues that caused custom fields not to work properly.
• The Clear Permissions Cache button did not have immediate effect.

August 23, 2020 - Zephyr for Jira Cloud 7.1.0

• REST API is now available out-of-the-box. The ZAPI plugin is no longer required to access the API.
  
• Built-in BDD support. Previously, you had to install the Cucumber for Jira app to use BDD in Zephyr – this is no longer needed.
  BDD support is enabled by default for all projects. You can disable BDD for individual projects in project settings.
  
• Added timestamp options for cycles and folders in A.T.O.M to support multiple runs of a CI/CD process without overriding the current run result. Each time an automation task is executed, the cycle or folder will be cloned and named as the original cycle or folder name with the "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" timestamp appended. The test automation API operation that creates an automation job also has the corresponding request body parameters, appendDateTimeInCycleName and appendDateTimeInFolderName, to either append a timestamp (true) or not (false).

• The Search Test Executions screen now shows only the current project by default. You can use the "All Projects" filter to search in all projects.

• Zephyr permissions are now controlled by Jira permissions scheme. For example:

  • The Browse Project permission is required to access the Zephyr application within a project.

  • The Create Issue permission is required to create Zephyr tests, BDD features, and test executions.

  • The Edit Issue permission is required to edit and delete test executions.

• Zephyr's General Configuration screen in Jira System Settings has a new button, Clear Permission Cache. Use this button every time after you update your Jira permissions scheme, so that Zephyr picks up the changes immediately.

Bug fixes:

• No data was shown in the Daily Test Execution Progress and Executions by Date charts if you wanted to view data for the last 24 hours. The data appeared only if you zoomed in or zoomed out the chart.
• Components were not sorted in the Component column on the Cycle Summary screen.
