Version 8

Some of our reports had their layout broken.

You can now remove a filter without going back to the criteria dropdown in the test library.

Legacy reports are not accessible anymore from the report page.

When adding test cases in the issue view, the archive button was shown while it is not usable.

Adding negative values to filters for number and decimal custom fields was not possible.

Exporting test cases and reports was not possible for the Scale version supporting Jira 7.

Pagination was not visible in the test plan and test cycles library.

When changing the test script type, saving the test case was not properly working.

The project was not changed when changing the selected project in the project selector.

If missing the “Assign issues” permission, you were redirected to the dashboard screen when trying to use the user picker.

When including an empty line in a BDD script, it was removed in the test player.

Test keys were sometimes duplicated on Data Center versions.

Continuing a long-term effort to make your experience with Zephyr Scale faster and more intuitive, we released a redesigned test cycle library. While the capabilities remain similar, we believe that it is more intuitive for our users.

This effort will ultimately lead to better performance for Zephyr Scale, which we hope will make your experience more enjoyable.

When deleting a folder, its name was not properly displayed in the dialog.

When deleting a folder with a text included in the search bar, the deleted folder was still part of the list of matches.

When migrating data using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant, the archived environments were migrated but as active environments.

When adding a test case with a lot of attachments into a cycle, it was not possible to save the cycle.

It is now easier for manual testers to test BDD scenario outlines (that is, scripts that include examples). Examples of scenario outlines are now available as individual steps in the test player.

User pickers now work similarly to those in Jira and will suggest users based on the Browse users and Assignable user permissions. Previously, Zephyr Scale did not take the latter permission into account.

As a result of this change:

Filters in the Test Cycle and Test Plan libraries are now persisted using cookies. So, you will be able to find your filters later even if you leave or refresh the page.

Fixed incorrect display of the column chooser menu in the Test Cycle library.

Fixed an issue with the "... by tester" reports where the report configuration was missing the "Assigned to" and "Executed by" filters when filtering by "Custom Query".

Fixed an issue with the dashboard gadget configuration where the folder filters did not auto-complete folder names if the project’s key had been changed.

Revamped Test Plan library with a more intuitive UI and improved performance.

Better automation capabilities. You can now customize test cycles created when you upload automation results to Zephyr Scale Server. The POST /automation/execution/{projectKey} and POST /automation/execution/cucumber/{projectKey} endpoints have a new optional testCycle parameter that accepts a JSON object containing test cycle properties. You can use it to provide the name, description, custom fields, and other details for the created test cycle.

When cloning test cycles, attachments from the original test cycle are now also copied.
