Overview
The AssertThat Test Plan allows you to manage, execute and report on tests grouped together. This can typically be used when developing regression tests for a change or release.
AssertThat BDD scenarios need to be linked to the new Jira custom issue type “AssertThat Test Plan”. The Issue Type is enabled in the AssertThat Config page.
When should I use the new “AssertThat Test Plan” Issue Type to link scenarios?
Teams link Scenarios to Jira User Stories using the AssertThat plugin to develop living documentation. Teams can then easily view user stories and gherkin scenarios all in the same screen. Users can execute the Scenarios manually within the User Story, and also view the Automated test status of scenarios by importing the Automated test results using our integrations and API’s.
Teams typically create Test Cycles at specific points in time as part of their release cadence. Test Cycles can be setup using the “AssertThat Test Plan” issue type. Scenarios are linked to the “AssertThat Test Plan” issue type and can be executed for both manual and automated cases.
When complete the “AssertThat Test Plan” can be moved to “Done” as part of your existing Jira workflow. At this point the actual status of the tests will be locked, providing a fixed reference point and status that can be referred to in the future.
