Bulk upload: Jira issues

Problem

The major challenge for a Product owner & Scrum master in Agile based project is to think of stories & get the requirement crystal clear for the team.

The next challenge we get through is creating & writing the stories in Jira. In this post, I will share how I have created bulk stories in Jira using simple CSV files.

Details

I own a project which is based on Scrum. I am working very closely with Product owners in getting the prioritization, alignment & requirements of stories in the sprints.

So we are using a tool called Test Rail to manage our Test cases. The project is more inclined toward QA automation. But the solution which I will talk about can be applied to any project.

Newman integration with Postman

A postman is a tool that helped a lot of software engineers in testing APIs.

We can actually send the collections to marketing people & clients also. There is a lot we have evolved in this tool. Today I am going to show how I integrated Newman with the postman in one of my existing collections.

Lets get started

• ​​ First you need to create a folder in your operating system.
• Put your postman collection here – by Exporting the project from the postman.                       

Export in postman

Agile Practise: Test Phases

To be honest as a QA, we shall not be much process driven.I personally don’t like involving myself in much of a process thing.

But keeping bullets or notes of stuff which I have to do always help in accomplishing a task.

Whenever we kick off any new project or revamp strategies of existing project then its always good to write all your ideas be it process driven or execution driven on a document. This pandemic has made us so flexible & available that such document always help , as sharing such atleast gives a basic idea to the team.

Today what I am sharing is not a hard coded or only source of truth that is followed throughout the industry but yes can be considered .

Setting environment variables in AWS amplify

Use case

• There are certain variables which we need to set while building our application like Integration of test Runner services like Sauce Labs, Browserstack, etcFor this you need to fetch the user name & key from the build tool itself.

• Also , there could be a chance where you need to run automation at one environment & don’t need to run the whole regression suite on it.

And many more.. As we set them for any Operating system like Windows, Mac, its always good to have them in delivery process as well. Just to make sure we are keeping things flexible

In such cases, you need to set environmental variables.
