"Squash TM test cases" tab shows last execution status:

A colored dot indicates the last execution status of a test case.

Thanks to Xsquash, the execution status of Squash TM test cases is updated in Jira with colored stickers


"Squash TM executions" tab shows execution steps comments:

The comments added during test step executions are displayed.

The comments of Squash execution steps are retrieved in Jira thanks to the Xsquash plugin


Jira Automation Workflow:


Outsourcing the test automation workflow in Jira:

From now on, it is possible to pass a test case for automation from Squash to Jira. At the same time, if it is a Gherkin test case, it will be transmitted to GitHub.


Transmitted test cases will be displayed as Jira issues. Test-case-related fields will directly be synchronized from Squash to Jira issues. And the issue progress status from Jira will be synchronized into Squash.


From the Jira issue workflow, the automation engineer can report on the progress of their automation work.

As for the functional tester, they will be able to follow the evolution of the automation engineer's work directly on Squash.


Once a test case has been automated, data are forwarded from Jira to Squash. The test case can then be run by clicking on the "Launch Automated Tests" button in the Squash Campaign Workspace.
