Open Steinhagen opened 1 year ago

It would be nice if this module would also implement some Zephyr Squad functionalities for either server/cloud variants. https://zephyrsquadserver.docs.apiary.io/#

Hello @Steinhagen!

Thank you for the request here 🙂

Are you actually using Zephyr Squad? What exact type? (Server or Cloud?)

There was no plans to implement the wrappers since it seems to be unpopular. But in case I'm wrong about it and there's a demand I can spend some time and create the wrappers gradually.

I agree. The functionality provided by Zephyr Squad are extremely limited if you compare it to ZS, but the main advantage of Squad is that it uses the standard Jira data types. As a result for this, a lot of third party plugins like R4J will completely work out-of-the-box for any project when you are linking requirements to test cases. I've seen a lot of e2e solutions choosing Squad instead of Scale (despite it's limitations) only to have a fully working complete workflow for all stakeholders (architects, developers and engineers).

The support for this is partially added by #10 .
