Perplexity

Fetch Test Cases using Project Keys.

The `list_test_cases` tool provides test case keys, names, and statuses for a given Jira project key. This is ideal for running headless scripts that need to gather structured test data. You can pipe the output directly into another CLI utility to process or transform the list of tests.

Get Full Details on Test Runs.

Use `list_executions` to get a rundown of every test run in the Zephyr Scale project. For deeper analysis, `get_execution` pulls all full details for any specific test execution. This lets you write cron jobs that check historical performance metrics without needing a GUI.

Manage Test Scope and Structure.

The `list_folders` tool lists the different folder types—test case, test cycle, or test plan. You can also use `get_test_cycle` to pull full details for a specific test cycle. This capability allows you to script logic that validates the structure of your QA environment before deployment.
