QMetry: Fetch Linked Issues of Test Case Run

Get issues that are linked (or not linked) to a specific test case run in QMetry

Toolset: Issues

Parameters:

• projectKey (string): Project key - unique identifier for the project (default: "default")

• baseUrl (string): The base URL for the QMetry instance (must be a valid URL)

• entityId (number) required: Id of Test case run (required for fetching linked issues). CRITICAL: the parameter name is 'entityId' — do NOT use 'tcRunId', 'testCaseRunId', 'runId', or other variants. Accepts a string or number. NOTE: To get the entityId - Call API 'Execution/Fetch Testcase Run ID' From the response, get value of following attribute -> data[].tcRunID

• getColumns (boolean): Whether to get column information in response. (default: true)

• istcrFlag (boolean): Set True for test case run operations (default: true)

• start (number): Start index for pagination - defaults to 0 (default: 0)

• page (number): Page number to return (starts from 1) (default: 1)

• limit (number): Number of records (default 10). (default: 10)

• filter (string): Filter criteria as JSON string (default '[]') (default: "[]")

Output Description: JSON object with issues array containing issue details, priorities, status, owner information, and linkage metadata

Use Cases: 1. Get all issues linked to a specific test case run for defect tracking 2. Find issues that are NOT linked to a test case run (gap analysis) 3. Generate defect reports and traceability matrix for test case runs 4. Monitor issue resolution progress for specific test case executions 5. Analyze test execution quality by examining linked defects 6. Filter issues by type, priority, status, or owner for test case runs 7. Audit issue-test case run relationships for compliance 8. Track defect lifecycle in relation to test execution results 9. Quality assurance - ensure proper issue tracking for failed test runs 10. Impact analysis - see which issues affect specific test executions

Examples:

1. Get all issues linked to test case run ID 1121218

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": true
}

Expected Output: List of issues linked to the test case run with issue details, status, and metadata

2. Get issues NOT linked to test case run (gap analysis)

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": false
}

Expected Output: List of issues that are NOT linked to test case run for gap analysis

3. Filter linked issues by issue type and status

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": true,
  "filter": "[{\"type\":\"list\",\"value\":[1],\"field\":\"typeAlias\"},{\"type\":\"list\",\"value\":[1,2],\"field\":\"stateAlias\"}]"
}

Expected Output: Bug type issues in Open or In Progress status

4. Search linked issues by name and priority

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": true,
  "filter": "[{\"type\":\"string\",\"value\":\"login\",\"field\":\"name\"},{\"type\":\"list\",\"value\":[1],\"field\":\"priorityAlias\"}]"
}

Expected Output: High priority issues containing 'login' in their name

5. Filter issues by date range and entity key

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": true,
  "filter": "[{\"value\":\"2024-01-01\",\"type\":\"date\",\"field\":\"createdDate\",\"comparison\":\"gt\"},{\"value\":\"2024-12-31\",\"type\":\"date\",\"field\":\"createdDate\",\"comparison\":\"lt\"},{\"type\":\"string\",\"value\":\"BUG-001,BUG-002\",\"field\":\"entityKeyId\"}]"
}

Expected Output: Specific issues created within date range

6. Filter issues by owner and created system

{
  "entityId": 1121218,
  "getColumns": true,
  "getLinked": true,
  "filter": "[{\"type\":\"list\",\"value\":[123],\"field\":\"dfOwner\"},{\"type\":\"list\",\"value\":[\"QMetry\"],\"field\":\"createdSystem\"}]"
}

Expected Output: Issues owned by specific user and created in QMetry

Hints: 1. WORKFLOW CRITICAL: NEVER use user-provided IDs directly as entityId! 2. ALWAYS fetch execution data first to get proper tcRunID values! 3. 4. WHEN USER ASKS: 'fetch linked issues of test suite [ID]' OR 'linked issues of test run [ID]': 5. STEP 1: Identify what type of ID the user provided 6. STEP 2A: If Test Suite ID → fetch executions by test suite → get tsRunID → fetch test runs → get tcRunID 7. STEP 2B: If Test Run ID → fetch test case runs by test suite run → get tcRunID 8. STEP 2C: If Test Case ID → fetch test case executions → get tcRunID 9. STEP 3: Use tcRunID as entityId for this tool 10. 11. ID HIERARCHY: Test Suite → Test Suite Runs → Test Case Runs (tcRunID = entityId) 12. ID HIERARCHY: Test Case → Test Case Executions (tcRunID = entityId) 13. 14. CRITICAL: entityId parameter is REQUIRED - this is the Test Case Run numeric ID (tcRunID) 15. HOW TO GET entityId: 16. 1. Call appropriate execution APIs to get test case runs 17. 2. From the response, extract data[].tcRunID 18. 3. Use tcRunID as entityId for this tool 19. 4. Example: tcRunID 1121218 becomes entityId: 1121218 20. 21. getLinked=true (default): Returns issues that ARE linked to the test case run 22. getLinked=false: Returns issues that are NOT linked to the test case run (useful for gap analysis) 23. istcrFlag=true (default): Set to true for test case run operations 24. getColumns=true (default): Include column metadata in response 25. 26. FILTER CAPABILITIES: Support extensive filtering by issue properties 27. FILTER FIELDS: name (string), typeAlias (list), stateAlias (list), entityKeyId (string), createdDate (date with comparison), createdByAlias (list), updatedDate (date with comparison), createdSystem (list), updatedByAlias (list), dfOwner (list), priorityAlias (list), linkedTcrCount (numeric), linkedRqCount (numeric), attachmentCount (numeric), componentAlias (list), environmentText (string), affectedRelease (list) 28. ISSUE TYPE IDs: Typically 1=Bug, 2=Enhancement, 3=Task (verify with your QMetry instance) 29. ISSUE STATE IDs: Typically 1=Open, 2=In Progress, 3=Resolved, 4=Closed (verify with your QMetry instance) 30. ISSUE PRIORITY IDs: Typically 1=High, 2=Medium, 3=Low (verify with your QMetry instance) 31. DATE FILTERING: Use 'gt' (greater than) and 'lt' (less than) comparisons for date fields 32. ENTITY KEY SEARCH: Use comma-separated values for multiple issue keys 33. CREATED SYSTEM: Use 'QMetry' or 'JIRA' to filter by creation system 34. OWNER IDs: Use numeric user IDs from QMetry user management 35. COMPONENT/LABEL IDs: Use numeric IDs for component/label filtering 36. ENVIRONMENT TEXT: Filter by environment description text 37. AFFECTED RELEASE: Use release IDs for filtering by affected releases 38. LINKED COUNT FILTERS: Use numeric values for linkedTcrCount, linkedRqCount, attachmentCount 39. Multiple filter conditions are combined with AND logic 40. Use pagination for large result sets (start, page, limit parameters) 41. This tool is essential for defect tracking and traceability audits 42. Critical for understanding test execution quality and issue relationships 43. Use for compliance reporting and issue lifecycle management 44. Helps establish relationships between test failures and reported issues 45. Essential for impact analysis when test case runs change or fail
