Add a TM4J Repository

TM4J, now known as Zephyr Scale, is a Test Management app deployed on JIRA repositories. If you have added a JIRA repository to the Syndeia Web Dashboard, and have TM4J enabled on a JIRA Project, then you can browse and search TM4J artifacts as described below.

Browse TM4J artifacts in a JIRA Project

(1) Expand a JIRA Project that has TM4J enabled.

(2) You will see three categories of TM4J artifacts - Test Cases, Test Plans, and Test Cycles - as shown below.

 

(3) Expand the Test Cases category to view all Test Cases in the given project.

(4) Expand the Test Plans category to view all Test Plans in the given project.

(5) Expand the Test Cycles category to view all Test Cycles (or Test Runs) in the given project.

The Digital Thread Explorer for TM4J will show both intra-model relations between TM4J artifacts (e.g. Test Plan, Test Cycle, Test Cases, and linked JIRA issues), and inter-model relations created using Syndeia, e.g. relations between TM4J artifacts and requirements (Jama Connect or DOORS NG), software modules (GitHub), hardware models (PLM/CAD), or other artifacts in your digital thread.
