Explore Jira sprint planning, backlog management, and board visibility from admin to QA, with notifications, watchers, history, and Sapphire plugin for test execution.

Understand what an API is, how front-end GUI communicates with back-end systems and third-party services via reusable APIs, and why testing them precedes UI development.

Validate api responses by checking status codes and response bodies for get, post, put, and delete operations, ensuring correct base URL, endpoint URL, and JSON request bodies.

Explore how Jira's private rest APIs manage issues, users, and projects with get and post operations, secured by authentication and authorization.

Learn to access Jira APIs via authorization and authentication, generate an API token, and retrieve project details for the AOP project using Postman.

Enable Xray settings before creating test, test set, and test plan issue types; configure cucumber as default and define environments to support manual and cucumber tests in Xray.

Create the 'test' issue type for the second and third test cases by adding new user registration and general user views, with cucumber scenarios and backlog assignments.

Create a new test set issue type and add existing tests to it, then move the test set between backlog and sprint to organize tests by business functionality.

Create a test plan to group and associate three tests—the logged-in user, the new registration, and the general view—into an integration test plan.

Create a test execution issue type, associate it with a test plan, add and manage test cases in sprints, enabling reusable, traceable quality assurance across teams.

Recap how X-ray in Jira uses test sets, preconditions, test plans, and test executions; learn how tests are mapped and reusable across sprints to avoid duplication.

Export cucumber feature files from test executions within a test plan, including given-when-then and background steps, then download as a zip.

Explore Xray rest apis and how they differ from Jira apis, enabling faster bulk operations and automated test management via Postman, while examining test runs, associations, and execution details.

Discover how to authenticate with the X-ray rest APIs, generate an authorization token using API keys (client ID and secret), and export cucumber tests via the X-ray API.
