REST API

This section provides information on how to use the REST API with TestFLO elements.

You can use the Jira REST API to perform such operations as:

• Create Test Case Templates and Test Plans
• Change status of Test Case and Test Plans
• Update fields on your TC, TP
• Attach test result to TC
• Others

We have extended REST API with following methods:

Change Steps status

Below you can find REST endpoint for the Change Steps status. Parameters should be passed in a JSON file.

Method: PUT

URL: $jira_context/rest/tms/1.0/steps/status

Parameters:

• issueId (ID issue number in which the status in the Steps has to be changed)
• rowIndex (number of row index in Steps without counting groups, starting from 0)
• status (name of status configured in Steps status in project)

See the sample file with a structure - change_steps_status.json

Create TC with Steps

Below you can find REST endpoint for the Create Test Case with Steps. Parameters should be passed in a JSON file.

Method: POST

URL: $jira_context/rest/api/2/issue

Parameters:

• key (project)

• customfield_ID (ID number of Steps field)

• isGroup (value: true or false)

  • If the parameter is true, it is a group.
